A fact from Yuri Nosenko appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 1 March 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the former KGB agent Yuri Nosenko was incarcerated for five years by the CIA including 1,277 days of interrogation, because the American agents did not believe he had truly defected?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/March.

Biography assessment rating comment

The article may be improved by following the WikiProject Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article. -- Jreferee 21:13, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This page is full of errors and I have removed some of them:

In the book SPY HANDLER by Cherkashin, the author states that Nosenko really was a defector and that the CIA mishandled him badly.

Removed: References to Angleton as responsible for hostile interrogation: This was the responsibility of the soviet-russia (SR) division and is claim that I now make supported by autobiography of Richard Helms (2002), Tennent Bagley (2007) and HSCA testimonies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.138.134.129 (talk) 06:55, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bad intro

The intro doesn't give proper context. What are the "Family Jewels"... what claims did he make...? The reader has no idea what the situation is. Must be rewritten. Malick78 (talk) 11:14, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Movie Citation

I suspect that this is the movie that folks are discussing in this article: [ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092277/ Yuri Nosenko, KGB] This is an IMDB reference to a made for TV movie from 1986 described as the true-life story of Yuri Nosenko, a top Soviet KGB agent who defected to the West at the height of the Cold War in 1962.

WP article needed on Bagley

I don't have time to do so at present, but somebody should create at least a stub and preferably an article about Tennent H. "Pete" Bagley, who played a central role in this story and is a noted author and intelligence figure in his own right.
