Aleksander Cherpanov |
Aleksander Cherpanov worked for
the KGB department dealing with internal security and
counter-intelligence.
In November 1963 he sent the US embassy in Moscow a packet of highly classified papers with information dealing with surveillance and entrapment of diplomats along with his offer to work for CIA. The documents were returned by Americans to the Soviets, because they were considered KGB provocation. Cherpanov escaped from Moscow but was arrested by the border guards on December 17, 1963. |
