CI Centre Professors Oleg Kalugin (L) and David Major (R) stand near the former Soviet Embassy on 16th Street in Washington, DC, two blocks from the White House.

Retired KGB Major General Kalugin worked on the fourth floor of this building and served as the Deputy KGB Rezident. Through his work here, he later became the chief of KGB foreign counterintelligence. Retired Supervisory Special Agent Major kept watch over the intelligence officers who worked in this building while he was in the FBI and while he was at the White House as the Director of Counterintelligence Programs on the National Security Council.

Now together they and other CI Centre professors who worked and operated in this city from both sides show you a unique, inside view of the spy wars that have taken place here in Washington, DC.

Through the doors of the former Soviet Embassy walked many Americans with a US Government security clearance who volunteered to spy for the KGB for money. Among them were John Walker, US Navy; Ron Pelton, NSA; and Rick Ames, CIA--all who were sentenced to life in prison for the damage they had done.

An epicenter for espionage, this Embassy  (now the Russian ambassador's residence)  is just one of the sites that CI Centre professors talk about on the SpyDrive® tour of espionage-related sites in the city of Washington, DC--the spy capital of the world.
