• Anatoli Golitsyn Anatoli Golitsyn was a KGB major who defected to the CIA in Helsinki in December 1961, provided intelligence that led to several confirmed Western penetrations, convinced James Angleton that a high-level Soviet mole existed in the CIA, and argued that subsequent defectors including Yuri Nosenko were KGB plants - a framework that paralyzed CIA Soviet operations for a decade without producing a confirmed mole.
