I had trouble disentangling these two pictures; they're generally listed together. Cherkashin's photo pullouts say <a href="http://www.bureauandthemole.com/images/players/motorin.gif" rel="nofollow">this</a> is Martynov, and the man pictured in my post is Sergei Motorin, another KGB turncoat who met the same fate for the same reason. My call was based on the names assigned by the <a href="http://www.bureauandthemole.com/" rel="nofollow">website</a> of the Hanssen book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0871138344/exectoda-20" rel="nofollow">The Bureau and the Mole</a>: http://www.bureauandthemole.com/images/players/motorin.gif http://www.bureauandthemole.com/images/players/martynov.gif This is at least implicitly echoed by most online imagery I was able to locate. Obviously, one of these sources is incorrect, although the error in either case could be at the editing/production level when they chose images to throw in, rather than that of the original author. Bottom line -- I'm not sure and don't quite have the werewithal to do the primary sourcing to untangle it. I suppose since Cherkashin actually knew the guy, one ought to lean towards his book's identifications by default. Thanks for catching that, whit.

I had trouble disentangling these two pictures; they’re generally listed together. Cherkashin’s photo pullouts say this is Martynov, and the man pictured in my post is Sergei Motorin, another KGB turncoat who met the same fate for the same reason.

My call was based on the names assigned by the website of the Hanssen book The Bureau and the Mole:

Now, according the Cherkashin's book and FBI photos, the photo you displayed is NOT of Martynov but a another KGB mole.
