Memoirs of a defector, a former Soviet military intelligence officer Ismail Akhmedov, who asked for political asylum in Turkey in 1942 and then left for the United States in 1953. The original book was released in the United States in 1984. Despite the propaganda anti-Soviet character, it is of some interest, especially with regard to the early period of the existence of Soviet military intelligence, although the reliability of some points seems doubtful. There are also obvious mistakes in the book, such as the confusion of the two Kobulov brothers or the assertion that Mayakovsky hanged himself (and not shot himself). For some reason, the name of the author and the protagonist of the memoirs is written everywhere as "Akhmetov," although in both Russian and foreign sources it is written only as "Akhmedov Akhmedov," therefore it is the generally accepted spelling that is used here.
