Oleg Penkovskiy, Peter Deriabin, Frank Gibney "The Penkovskiy Papers."
There are two very different opinions about Oleg Penkovskiy. While the majority of observers seem to feel that he was a genuine defector as described in "The Penkovskiy Papers," Peter Wright, a scientist with MI5 in Britain, was convinced that Penkovskiy was a Soviet plant designed to lead the United States to the conclusion that the USSR's intercontinental missile capabilities were much less developed than they actually were. The defector account says Penkovskiy approached American students on the Moskvoretsky Bridge in Moscow in July 1960 and gave them a package, which was delivered to the Central Intelligence Agency. CIA officers delayed in contacting him because they believed they were under constant surveillance. Penkovskiy eventually persuaded the British spy Greville Wynne to arrange a meeting with two American and two British intelligence officers during a visit to London in 1961. Wynne became one of his couriers. In his autobiography, Wynne says that he was carefully developed by British intelligence over many years with the specific task of making contact with Penkovskiy.
