 | | His story can be partially checked from independent sources, the main one of which is the account by Genrikh S. Liushkov given to the Japanese interrogators after his defection to them in June, 1938 (Liushkov, head of the Far Eastern NKVD, had been sent there to help the 1938 purge). |
 | | Liushkov disclosed to the Japanese the existence of an plot in the Far East, and his account of the plot confirms Svetlanin's in several minor respects. |
 | | According to Professor Alvin T. Coox, the Japanese considered Polish intelligence to be "the best anti-Soviet service in the world at the time." See his "L'Affaire Lyushkov: Anatomy of a Soviet Defector," Soviet Studies, 20 (Jan. 1968), 406. |
