description: "Anatoliy Mikhaylovich Golitsyn was a Soviet KGB defector and author. Born in Soviet Ukraine, he became a major in the KGB before defecting in 1961. While most of Golitsyn's information was \"tantalizingly imprecise\", it nonetheless proved a \"treasure trove\" for Western intelligence agencies investigating KGB operations and infiltrations in the west. Golitsyn's information was particularly prized by CIA counterintelligence director James Angleton, with whom he formed a close, collaborative relationship."
