contributed both directly and indirectlycannot be named for reasons which the reader will be able toappreciate.To them I extend a very special thanks.Ironic though itmay appear,one of those who must be singled out is the last chief ofthe KGB.not only did General of the Army Vladimir AlexandrovichKryuchkov approve the policy of making selected historical recordspublic,but it was he who approved my collaboration with JohnCostello for this book.Another important initiator of this project isLeonid Vladimirovich Shebarshin,the former head of the First ChiefDirectorate of the KGB whose idea it was to write about Orlov and whonurtured and encouraged the book in its formative stages.It wouldnot have been possible to navigate through the immense volume ofrecords or assemble the material on which this book is based withoutthe continuing help and patient advice of the Director of the RussianIntelligence Service Archive,Alexander Petrovich.Together with histwo assistants,Colonel Vyacheslav Petrovich Mazurov and ColonelDimitry Dimitrievich Vorobyev their advice and efforts have provedindispensable in this historic research effort into the files.Major-General Sergei Mikhailovich Golubev,the former Deputy Chief ofthe External Counterintelligence Directorate of the FCD warrants amention for the special assistance he provided
