“FBI Busts Russian Spies
Feds: Covert agents caught using old school, high-tech spycraft”
SNIPPET: “JUNE 28—A decade-long FBI probe into a ring of covert Russian agents living and working in the U.S. resulted yesterday in the arrest of ten spies on conspiracy and money laundering charges. Criminal complaints filed today in U.S. District Court in New York do not detail the information relayed by the covert agents to handlers with the Russian Federation’s Moscow-based intelligence service. But the court filings provide a remarkable blow-by-blow of the FBI’s extensive probe of the Russian agents, known as “illegals,” whose goal, investigators allege, was to “become sufficiently ‘Americanized’ such that they can gather information about the United States for Russia” and recruit sources from “United States policy-making circles.” As seen on the following pages, the Russian agents employed spycraft both prosaic and high tech.”

Putin’s Spies in America
FRONTPAGE MAGAZINE.com ^ | Friday, June 19, 2009 | Jamie Glazov

SNIPPET: “Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Konstantin Preobrazhenskiy, a former KGB agent who became one of the KGB’s harshest critics. He is the author of seven books about the KGB and Japan. His new book is KGB/FSB’s New Trojan Horse: Americans of Russian Descent.”
SNIPPET: “My work in Tokyo as a spy from 1980-85, was very successful. I was covered as a correspondent of the Soviet TASS Agency. But it was not a cover for me. It was my actual job, because I am a born author. My KGB colleagues in Tokyo called me, with a grin, “An author covered as a spy.” And they were right.”
SNIPPET: “FP: Can you talk a bit about the growth of leftism in America and the KGB influence on it?
Preobrazhensky: Well, the KGB has no special need to influence American leftists any more. Their ancestors in Stalin’s time have done it for them. They have seeded leftism among the American intellectuals, and today’s KGB is only gathering their crop.
On the other hand, a lot of American leftists were recruited by the KGB in the Soviet period. They are still working for the Russians. There are many KGB collaborators in this country.”

“Spies Among Us
By: John Earl Haynes and Harvey Klehr”
WashingtonDecoded.com | Friday, June 19, 2009
SNIPPET: “While we were writing Spies: The Rise and Fall of the KGB in America, based on Alexander Vassiliev’s notebooks, we anticipated a hostile reaction from battered but still rancorous remnants of the pro-Communist left in the academic world and partisan pundits. Together they have denied for more than fifty years that Soviet espionage in the United States in the 1930s and 1940s had much significance, denounced claims linking the Communist Party of the USA (CPUSA) with Soviet espionage, and proclaimed the innocence of many of those identified as Soviet agents.”
SNIPPET: “In some quarters, the release of Vassiliev’s notebooks and simultaneous publication of Spies has been greeted with falsehoods, obfuscation, ad hominem attacks, insinuations of financial chicanery and forgery, and illogical, wrong-headed, and easily rebuttable arguments. These efforts will prove futile. By putting Vassiliev’s original notebooks in the Library of Congress with no restrictions on their use, and by posting scans of the notebooks on the web, the archival source of Spies is conveniently and easily available to the entire scholarly world, or to anyone simply interested in the subject. As other scholars consult and use the notebooks, we are entirely confident they will judge them authentic and reliable. There is much material in the notebooks that we did not use in Spies, and other researchers may spot matters we overlooked or will use the material to address questions we did not think to ask.”
