Clearly there is a genetic proclivity for deception if nothing else. Apples don’t fall far from the tree. Reminds me of the mole programmer kid in Le Bureau thriller series.
I'm convinced Vitaly Yurchenko was a false defector and that Dmitry Polyakov for one year (1962) and Aleksei Kulak for fifteen years (1962-1977) were Kremlin-loyal triple-agents at the FBI's NYC field office. (It's interesting that Oleg Kalugin defends the bona fides of Nosenko and Yurchenko.
Pete Bagley says in his 2014 article Ghosts of the Spy Wars that it's unlikely that Hanssen and Ames betrayed everyone who was rolled up in 1985.
