Tracks down the cars of Americans and gives them letters to give to the embassy. They don't know his name but he gives them intelligence. Known as CKSPHERE. Works at the NIIR and was a very valuable asset. The HQ gave them authority to talk to him even though he may be part of the KGB. He is doing it because he is a dissident at heart. He is a very driven man. He later wanted to meet in person and have a suicide pill.With the shortage, he didn't have very much but wanted to do anything for his son Oleg. He was so angry about his lack of money that he wanted "six figures." he would be compensated since everyone who saw his info was impressed. He reveals that he wants millions of dollars and will not always work voluntarily if he does not like the conditions. They are being vague with him by saying the product will determine his pay and that they want to put his money in the US. He eventually agrees to that but he now can't take the files home and he left a trail on all of the documents.

chief of the Soviet division. He was very impressed with Tolkavech's notes.

Stories of many Americans and how they worked in Russia, specifically Moscow. At first the US didn't want to recruit anybody from Russia in fear that they would be captured, so they were hesitant when they had their second breakthrough with Penkovsky. He gave them everything, even the top secret files the CIA didn't know about. His intelligence was key for President Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis. After he disappeared the CIA went through a tough time where they didn't accept any agents from Moscow because of Angleton. They also employed women as a new strategy. If a spy was caught, they would be considered persona non grata. The Soviets got more creative and set a fire to the US CIA to try to get information. They bugged houses, put microphones in chimneys, and bugged typewriters (none of Moscow's CIA typewriters). Tea and denim jeans were very rare and you could only buy things through connections instead of money. To help Tolkavech not get caught, they created new tech such as quieter, higher quality cameras.
