“I was beginning to like these guys.”—Oleg Kalugin on the FBI surveillance team observing him in Miami, December 1968
Once they were enemies. Cold War adversaries. One called the other the “gorilla in the mist.” Now they are 21st century friends. During this unique evening Major General Oleg Kalugin, the former head of Soviet KGB operations in the United States and later chief of KGB worldwide counterintelligence, and David Major, retired FBI supervisory specialist and National Security Council director of counterintelligence programs, will reveal how their careers intersected, paralleled, and diverged, as they handled some of the most notorious cases of the Cold War—from opposite sides. As the two trade incidents from John Walker’s case and others, discover how each side squared off on surveillance, recruitment, and covert communications. Now that the dust has somewhat settled on their overlapping cases, this is your chance to hear both sides of the story from FBI successes and snafus to KGB plots and procedures.
