 Special Agent Droujinsky, a fellow Russian American, had spent his career impersonating a KGB operative in order to trick suspected moles into confessing their guilt.In 1988, Droujinsky had successfully finessed a confession from U.S. Army warrant officer James Hall III, who had been spying for both the KGB and the East German Stasi.Giving his name as "Igor Galkin", an SVR agent assigned to the Russian Embassy, Special Agent Droujinsky told Trofimoff that a defecting analyst had stolen or destroyed most of his file.
