	Jacob Golos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jacob Golos was the "main pillar" of the NKVD intelligence network.
		Sometime in Novemeber of 1943, Golos met in New York with key figures of the Perlo group, a group working in several government departments and agencies in Washington, D.C. The group was already in the service of Browder.

		Golos was a veteran of the radical Left.
		Kessler misses that Golos was born Jacob Raisen in Ukraine in 1890, a fact included in the indispensable Venona: Decoding Soviet Espionage in America, by John Earl Haynes and Harvey Klehr.
		The prominence of Golos in socialist politics, ethnic Russian affairs, and, in effect, an official Soviet travel agency, demonstrates the absurdity of one of the favorite clichés of anti-anti-Communists, holding that Communist party activists were invariably kept away from secret work for the various networks dedicated to intelligence and repression.

	Treason - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Senator Joseph McCarthy referred to "twenty years of treason" (1933–1953, the administrations of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Harry S Truman) when numerous communist spy rings involving hundreds of agents were operating inside the United States government.
		As documented in the VENONA papers, these rings included the Rosenbergs ring, the Perlo group, the Nathan Silvermaster group, the Harold Ware group, the Jacob Golos group, the Karl group, etc.
		Thanks to the opening of Soviet archives in the 1990s, much more has been learned about these rings which were more widespread than was known at the time.

		In 1940 Gold was activated for Soviet espionage by Jacob Golos, but he was not a recruited agent of the rezidentura.
		This changed in late 1940 when Soviet Case Officer Semyon Semenov appropriated Gold from Golos (Gold confession, KF-AS, p.196).
		Gold became a formally recruited Soviet agent at this time, and was assigned the covername GUS, or GOOSE.

		Golos was the glue that attached Bentley to the party for years.
		She encountered one twist and deception after another and turned a blind eye; the greatest example being that Yasha was married and had a son as well as another mistress.
		Golos had been her handler, her friend, her lover and her “hero.” He also kept her in the loop.

		Eventually Golos gets caught in a passport fraud scheme which effectively blows his anonymity vis-a-vis the FBI, forcing him to utilize his mistress Bentley as a front.

		She was also, in a different sense, what Golos needed, and she became his mistress as well as his assistant.
		In 1942 Jacob Golos handed over to the XY Line a technical source, a radio engineer who headed up a party cell of other technical sources, collecting both dues and data.

	Clever Girl: Elizabeth Bentley, the Spy Who Ushered in the McCarthy Era -- book review
		But soon she was being drawn deeper into a shadowy world that existed just under the radar, and before long, with the help of some mysterious mentors (including her first “real love,” Jacob Golos), she entered the world of espionage.
		With Golos to guide her, she soon became a critical director of operations, overseeing many other spies and responsible for getting information to a succession of men and women who then took that info directly to Moscow.
		As Elizabeth grew closer to Golos, who turned out to be an undercover KGB agent, she became more emboldened and asked for more spying responsibilities.

		In March 1940, the Justice Department indicted Golos, whom it had identified as the source of forged passports for communist party officials and Soviet agents, for failing to register as a foreign agent.
		The attention did not prevent Golos from personally meeting with Rosenberg and running an extensive espionage network, or from helping coordinate the August 1940 assassination in Mexico of Lev Trotsky, Lenin’s second in command and ardent foe of Stalin.
		In addition to failing to keep its eyes on Golos, the FBI and its counterparts in army counterintelligence made poor use of information that could have shut down Rosenberg’s operation long before any important secrets were stolen.

		Although his portrait is not as detailed as Bentley's, Louis Budenz, in one of the first ex-Communist recantations -- This Is My Story (1947) -- also depicts Jacob Golos, whom he includes among the "Russian born.

		Jacob Golos was an agent, a Soviet "group handler" in New York; but Lauchlin Currie, an assistant to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, was probably no more than a source, occasionally a reluctant one.
		The authors' approach suggests that they examined the files by searching for particular names: Known spies such as Elizabeth Bentley, Martha Dodd, Klaus Fuchs, Golos, and Michael Straight, for example, are treated at length.
		The authors also sought information to substantiate accusations that were leveled during the Cold War at high-ranking government officials, such as the State Department's Laurence Duggan and Alger Hiss as well as Currie.

		In that book, Bentley depicted herself-falsely- as a conventional housewife who, like any good wife, obeyed her husband.
		In fact, while she and Jacob Golos-who turned out to be a top Soviet agent within the American Communist party-were lovers, he was married to someone else.
		Olmsted correctly notes that Bentley's self- portrait was a fraud, and that she had, in reality, "led a most unconventional life, from her rejection of marriage to her choice of careers.
