An interview / profile of Jack Barsky, a former spy for the Soviet Union’s KGB, assigned to the United States during the last years of the Cold War, with the aim of infiltrating President Jimmy Carter’s White House. Barsky, born Albrecht Dittrich in East Germany, was recruited by a Russian KGB agent. Failing at his original mission, he then worked at MetLife in IT, where he stole IBM source code for the Soviets. He also led a double life, with a wife and son in Germany and a wife and daughter in the United States. Recalled by the KGB in 1988, he made the decision to stay in the U.S. with his daughter. He lied to the KGB by telling them that he was dying of AIDS. He had another child, a son, and settled down with his family in Mount Bethel, Pennsylvania. The FBI started observing Barsky, and in May of 1997 had gathered enough evidence to question him. After the interrogation, the FBI concluded that his spy days were over and that he would be most useful in supplying information as to how the KGB operated. He now lives in upstate New York as director of software development for an undisclosed company that manages New York’s high-voltage power grid. Also includes interviews with: Joe Reilly, former FBI agent; and Chelsea (last name not disclosed), Barsky’s daughter.
