Some CIA sources betrayed

 * Vitaly Yurchenko was a KGB officer in the Fifth Department of Directorate K, "the highest-ranking KGB officer ever to defect to the United States". In August 1985, he defected via Rome to the US, only to repatriate to the Soviet Union three months later. Ames was privy to all information that Yurchenko gave to the CIA and was able to transmit it to the KGB, which allowed easy cover-ups of lost information. Yurchenko returned to the Soviet Union in 1985 and was re-assigned to a desk job within the FCD, a reward for helping to keep Ames' spying a secret.


 * In the mid-1980s, Major General Dmitri Polyakov was the highest ranking figure in Soviet military intelligence (GRU) giving information to the CIA. He was executed in 1988 after Ames exposed him.  He was probably the most valuable asset compromised by Ames.  One CIA official said of Polyakov, "He didn't do this for money. He insisted on staying in place to help us." He had already been betrayed earlier by Robert Hanssen, but had escaped arrest and execution until Ames's denunciation.


 * Colonel Oleg Gordievsky was the head of the London rezidentura (residency) and spied for the SIS (MI6). Ames handed over information about Gordievsky that positively identified him as a traitor, although he managed to escape to the Finnish border where he was extracted to the United Kingdom via Norway by the British SIS before he could be detained in Russia.


 * Valery Martynov was a Line X (Technical&Scientific Intelligence) officer at the Washington rezidentura. Martynov revealed the identities of fifty Soviet intelligence officers operating out the embassy plus technical and scientific targets that the KGB had penetrated. Ames turned over Martynov's name to the KGB, and he was executed. He was later also betrayed by Robert Hanssen.


 * Major Sergei Motorin was a Line PR (Political Intelligence) officer at the Washington rezidentura whom the FBI tried to blackmail into spying for the US. He eventually cooperated for his own reasons. Motorin was one of two moles at the rezidentura betrayed by Ames and then quickly executed. He was later also betrayed by Robert Hanssen.


 * Colonel Leonid Polishchuk (rus) was a Line KR (Counter-intelligence) agent in Nigeria. He too was betrayed by Ames. He had been recruited a decade earlier by the CIA while posted in Kathmandu, Nepal as a Line PR (Political Intelligence) officer, but had broken contact after being recalled to Moscow. He had only re-established contact with the CIA in Lagos, Nigeria in February 1985. His arrest was attributed to a chance encounter where KGB agents had observed a CIA agent loading a dead drop. After some time, Polishchuk was seen removing the contents.


 * Colonel Vladimir M. Piguzov (rus) was an instructor at the KGB’s Andropov Institute training academy in 1986 when he was apprehended. He had spied for the CIA while posted in Jakarta, Indonesia and had provided them with information that led to the arrest of CIA officer David Henry Barnett for spying for the KGB, but he had not been in contact with the CIA since 1979 when he had been recalled to Moscow. He too was executed.


 * Gennady Varenik, the son of a senior KGB officer posted to Bonn, West Germany under cover as a TASS correspondent when he was recruited by the CIA in March 1985. Due to Ames's information, he was arrested in East Berlin in November 1985 and executed in February 1987 after being interrogated thoroughly.


 * Adolf Tolkachev an electronics engineer at the Soviet radar design house Phazotron. As one of the chief designers, Tolkachev gave the CIA complete information about such projects as the R-23, R-24, R-33, R-27, and R-60, S-300; fighter-interceptor aircraft radars used on the MiG-29, MiG-31, and Su-27; and other avionics while spying for them between 1979 and 1985. By the time Ames provided information about him to the KGB, he had already been betrayed by CIA officer Edward Lee Howard, and arrested. Ames's information provided confirmation of his treachery and he was executed in 1986.


 * Sergey Fedorenko was a nuclear arms expert assigned to the Soviet delegation to the United Nations. In 1978, Ames was assigned to handle him, and Fedorenko betrayed information about the Soviet missile program to Ames. The two men became good friends, hugging when Fedorenko was about to return to Moscow. “We had become close friends,” said Ames. “We trusted each other completely.”  Ames was initially hesitant to betray his friend, but soon after handing over the majority of the information, he decided to also betray Fedorenko to "do a good job" for the KGB. Back in the USSR, Fedorenko used political connections to get himself out of trouble.  Years later, Fedorenko met his friend Ames for an emotional reunion over lunch and promised to move to the U.S. for good.  Ames promised to help.  Shortly after lunch, Ames betrayed him to the KGB for a second time.  Fedorenko escaped arrest, defected, and is currently living in Rhode Island.
