BARANOV, VYECHESLAV

A GRU colonel recruited in Dhaka, Bangladesh, in 1989 by the Central Intelligence Agency, Baranov narrowly avoided a death sentence when he was betrayed by Aldrich Ames and instead served long terms of  imprisonment at Perm 35, the notorious Soviet labor camp in the Urals. Upon his release he was
resettled in the United States.
