Le Dissident du KGB

The KGB Dissident

The history of the KGB includes many spies who went over to the West or became double agents, but Viktor Orekhov was the only office in charge of the political police who went from repression of dissidents to joining their cause. Before he was arrested in 1978 and sentenced to ten years in a camp, Orekhov informed and protected the dissidents he had to survey. After his release, he met the dissidents he had helped. He became their ex-KGB consultant, to the great displeasure of his former superiors, who in 1995 had him sentenced to three years of hard labor. Released two years later, he discovered that a contract had been taken out on him; he fled to the United States, where he is still hiding today under an assumed name. Aged 65, he now survives delivering pizzas.
After searching for months, Nicolas Jallot tracked him down. This is his incredible story, told for the first time.
