I had the pleasure of listening to a lecture given by Kalugin who said absolutely nothing of any interest - more about how how he hated the Communist system and wanted to destroy it from within.
Oleg Danilovich Kalugin is a retired Major General in the Soviet KGB. Born in Leningrad in 1934, his father was an officer in Stalin's NKVD. Oleg Kalugin attended Leningrad State University and was recruited by the KGB for foreign intelligence work, serving in the First Chief Directorate. Undercover as a journalist, he attended Columbia University in New York as a Fulbright Scholar in 1958 and then worked as a Radio Moscow correspondent at the UN in New York, conducting espionage and influence operations. From 1965 to 1970, he served as deputy rezident and acting chief of the Rezidency at the Soviet Embassy in Washington, DC. General Kalugin rose quickly in the First Chief Directorate, becoming the youngest general in the history of the KGB, and eventually he became the head of worldwide foreign counterintelligence (Line KR). Serving at the center of some of the most important espionage cases of his period, including the Walker spy ring, he quickly became known for his aggressive operational methodology.
