Gordievsky, Oleg. "New Memoirs from Moscow." Intelligence
and National Security 11, no. 3 (Jul. 1996): 586-592.
This a review article covering eight KGB-related memoirs, seven in Russian (Bakatin, Grusjko, Kirpichenko [two books], Leonov, Lyubimov, and Shebarshio) and one in English (Kalugin), as well as Yevgenia Albats' The State within a State. Gordievsky finds Nikolai Leonov's Likholetye (The Troubled Years) the "most intriguing," and consequently the bulk of the article focuses on this work by the former "head of the information-analytic service of the FCD."
