Based on the Mitrokhin Archive, a collection of KGB documents taken from the KGB archives by Vasili Mitrokhin, several Soviet defectors have claimed that Agee was an active and willing participant in Soviet disinformation operations. Oleg Kalugin, former head of the KGB’s Counterintelligence Directorate, states that in 1973 Agee approached the KGB’s resident in Mexico City and offered what Kalugin called a “treasure trove of information.” But the KGB was too suspicious to accept his offer.[8]
Kalugin states that:
“ Agee then went to the Cubans, who welcomed him with open arms...The Cubans shared Agee’s information with us. But as I sat in my office in Moscow reading reports about the growing revelations coming from Agee, I cursed our officers for turning away such a prize.[8] ”
While Agee was writing Inside the Company: CIA Diary, the KGB kept in contact with him through Edgar Anatolvevich Cheporov, a London correspondent of the Novosti News Agency.[

It’s possible that this was a hit job by the Cuban Government as a token to show how much they really want to normalize our relations being that Fidel is out of the picture. Let this be a warning to the other traitors in the CIA, you’re next.
"The Sword and The Shield" was a great book. I often feel very frustrated that more people don't know what we were dealing with back then. There are subsequent volumes of the Mitrokhin Archeve that I haven't read yet.
