"Yuri Vasilevich Krotkov (11 November 1917 - 26 December 1981) was a Soviet dramatist. Working as a KGB agent, he (allegedly) defected to the West in 1963. Nosenko's former CIA case officer, Tennent H. Bagley, who died in 2014, believed Nosenko and Krotkov were false defectors. Professor John M. Newman, author of the 1995/2008 book, "Oswald and the CIA," also believes Nosenko and Krotkov were false defectors, and that they cooperated with a KGB provocateur by the name of Alexandr Cherepanov to discredit true-defector Anatoliy Golitsyn and to prevent the CIA's uncovering a KGB "mole" by the name of Bruce Solie in CIA's mole-hunting Office of Security."
