Soviet Spies, FDR and the Cold War – In 1995 the FBI and other government agencies declassified records which named hundreds of Soviet agents in the Franklin Roosevelt administration including many in post-war policy-making positions. This talk will name some of those Soviet agents, explain how they were identified, and give examples of how they laid the groundwork which greatly benefited the Soviet Union in the Cold War. Because of the revelations of large scale Soviet penetration of the US during World War II, the history of the Cold War is now being rewritten.
