Vladimir Kuzichkin
Vladimir Anatolyevich Kuzichkin (Russian: Владимир Анатольевич Кузичкин; 1947 – May 2009) was a former Soviet foreign intelligence officer who defected to the United Kingdom. He worked as an undercover agent for the KGB in Iran beginning in 1977. The details of his defection are uncertain, but he arrived in the UK in October 1982. Kuzichkin gave information on Soviet operations, agents, and socialist activists to MI6; British intelligence and the CIA then provided the information to the Khomeini regime, which executed many of the agents and socialist activists. His memoirs were published in the UK in 1990 as Inside the KGB: Myth and Reality by André Deutsch Limited. Pantheon Books published the US edition under the title Inside the KGB: My Life in Soviet Espionage.
