MOSCOW One of the Cold War's most famous defectors says Russia probably has about 50 deep-cover couples and maybe even up to 60 of them spying inside the United States.
Oleg Gordievsky, a former deputy head of the KGB in London who defected in 1985, said Russian President Dmitry Medvedev would know the number of illegal operatives in each target country.
The 71-year-old ex-double agent .. "there's usually 40 to 50 couples, all illegal."
"The president will know the number, and in each country how many but not their names," said Gordievsky, ..
The FBI announced Monday the arrests of 10 alleged deep-cover Russian agents after tracking the suspects for years.

This seems soooo ironic considering this administration....
Just think how much easier it would for the FBI if we rigidly enforced our immigration laws, as all other nations do, and how much safer Americans would be from subversion.
So much for glasnost. The Soviet Union may have ended, but the KGB never did, apparently.
Why undercover??? Just make a visit to the Pres and he will give them all information they want!!

I just heard that another pair was discovered:

I must say though, I’d be disappointed if the CIA wasn’t doing the very same thing in Russia.
Hahaha! There’s probably that many in EVERY major city in the United States! Each military installation has at least a handful to a couple dozen. And that’s not counting all the other countries that spy on us. Heck, if there’s a Chinese restaurant, there’s a cell. This is an intentional lowball estimate, in my professional opinion.
While the Soviet Union is defunct, there are still plenty of former KGB officers working in the current Russian government. “Treachery” by Chapman Pincher is a good book to read if you want an idea of how vast the Soviet spy networks were.
And we are doing the same exact thing in those countries as well.
It’s the “spy game” folks, it will always be with us. And you have to accept that as a part of life and always assume it’s out there.
From my readings about the Soviet Union, I can say that the General Secretary of the Soviet Union, Gorbachev, might still be running things.
If Zero really didn’t know about this, I bet he is very quickly hunting down those who took this action so they can be summoned to the WH and fired, as is the pattern.
In every way it seems like 1930s deja vu, with new and very destructive wrinkles. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
That pretty much describes every couple here in L.A.
The FBI doesn't arrest folks on the orders of the opposition party.
I would. I'm convinced that Obama has diverted all of our intelligence assets to look at our "real" enemies, Israel and the UK.
Wonder how many of ‘em are elected to congress...
No worries, 0bamao will help his comrades by granting amnesty.
How crazy has this world become that my first thought is whether, or not, these Russian spies have anything on Zero that they can leak?
