...nights later, Volodya, Ivan and Vanya met again. Hidden all around were FBI men, eavesdropping, shooting movies and taking still pictures They quickly identified Ivan the Driver as Gennadi G. Sevastyanov, 33-a Russian "diplomat" carried on the rolls of the Soviet embassy as a "cultural attaché." He was actually a member of KGB-the Soviet secret police, trying to recruit a spy. "Which side are you on-ours or the Americans?" he asked Vanya. "You could better your position in life if you would cooperate." He quizzed Vanya about his intelligence work, told him candidly: "We want operational...
Persuasive Speech. The festival was organized as a salute to Soviet music in general: along with Shostakovich came Conductor Gennadi Rozhdestvensky, Violinist David Oistrakh, Cellist Mstislav Rostropovich and his wife, Singer Galina Vishnevskaya.

Gennadi Popov, a second secretary at Ottawa's Soviet embassy - the same embassy where Cipher Clerk Igor Gouzenko exposed a vast spy apparatus in 1945 - was ordered out of Canada last July for trying to bribe an R.C.A.F. civilian employee...
...Gennadi Khomyakov, a veteran of the "isolator" camp on the Solovetski Islands. Standard punishment in wintertime was to send prisoners barefoot down 273 ice-covered steps to haul water from a frozen lake; their feet usually froze into icy stumps . . . and most of the victims died. One crazed fellow prisoner, to escape the logging detail, cut off one finger but was sent back to work. Losing his head completely, he chopped off his entire left hand, and collapsed unconscious. He was later shot for "malicious shirking of work...
