Jack Barsky is a former KGB sleeper agent. Born in East Germany in 1949, he was recruited by the KGB while in college and sent to the United States. He spied for the Soviets for ten years before eventually escaping his handlers, as the Soviet Union was collapsing.

“I was going to serve the righteous cause. I was going to help free all the oppressed masses in the world and help accelerate the establishment of the worker's paradise on earth. It's a very romantic belief that has taken hold again among some young people: All people are good and if they steal or do bad things, it's because of the circumstances. So, we just need to take the shackles off of the working class—the oppressed. And I believed in this, 100 percent,” says Mr. Barsky.

Today, he is a proud American and the author of the 2017 memoir, “Deep Undercover: My Secret Life and Tangled Allegiances as a KGB Spy in America.”
“A lot of my friends … they were not able to shed the remnants of that brainwashing. And I heard this a lot: You know we had a good cause. The reason that it failed was we had the wrong people at the top,” says Mr. Barsky.
