I was so impressed by him that I thought I had encountered the embodiment of American values: here was the openness, honesty, and decency of which I had heard so much. Of course I didn’t know at that time that he had been trying to kill me. When I first appeared at the meeting with him in Washington, I must have seemed like a ghost risen from the dead. I believe that I was the first source he betrayed. He received his first payment from the KGB on 18 May 1985, the day after I was recalled to Moscow for interrogation…. Ames would have known exactly what he was doing in betraying the information: he was sentencing the victim to death. He knew any important source he passed on to the Russians would be shot—and most were. He has the blood of a dozen officers on his hands. He would have had my blood, too, had he not managed to escape before the KGB had any evidence (other than Ames’s tip-off) against me.”—Oleg Gordievsky TuesdayAugust 27, 2019 TuesdayAugust 27, 2019 TuesdayAugust 27, 2019 TuesdayAugust 27, 2019 TuesdayAugust 27, 2019 Fascinated by Philby TuesdayAugust 27, 2019 TuesdayAugust 27, 2019 In 1984, Hanssen was posted to the Soviet analytical unit of the FBI, which was responsible for identifying Soviet spies and intelligence officers in the United States. In 1985, he sent an anonymous letter to the KGB asking for $100,000 in exchange for the names of three KGB officers who had become double agents in the United States: Boris Yuzhin, Valery Martynov, and Sergei Motorin. All of them, unbeknownst to Hanssen, had already been exposed by Ames. Nevertheless, this was the beginning of Hanssen’s most active period as a double agent. The FBI assigned Hanssen to investigate his own leak. Hanssen then gave the KGB the report of his investigation, which included a list of all Soviets who had contacted the FBI about FBI moles.
