I saw a limit to what I was giving as kind of a scam I was running on the KGB, by giving them people that I knew were their double agents fed to us.
Aldrich Ames

I wanted to choose somewhere public, because I was scared of the KGB.
Mathias Rust

I was not extremely patriotic about Mother Russia. I played their game, pretending. You have to deal with, you know, party people, KGB. Horrifying.
Mikhail Baryshnikov

I've met enough KGB colonels in my life.
Garry Kasparov

Yakov Smirnoff

Let's say a Soviet exchange student back in the '70s would go back and tell the KGB about people and places and things that he'd seen and done and been involved with. This is not really espionage; there's no betrayal of trust.
Aldrich Ames

Perhaps my information hurt the Soviet Union more than it helped. I have no idea. It was not something I ever discussed with the KGB officers that I was dealing with.
Aldrich Ames

The only thing I ever withheld from the KGB were the names of two agents whom I personally had known and handled and had a particular feeling for.
