European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - January 17, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse                                This it a Cia Safe House where Kab defector Vitaly Yurchenko was said to have been kept after his defection in August. Disillusioned defectors continued from Page 13 said the average defector has torturous psychological problems because of doubts As to whether he did the right thing. Bui these and other exp urls said the typical defector s problems Are compounded by indelicate Cia handling a subject that has received Little Public attention because virtually All defectors dependent on Cia income refuse to discuss it publicly. Two exceptions Ere Vladimir Sakharov a soviet Diplomat and part Lime Kab agent who defected in Kuwait in 1971, and Nicolae Horo Dunca a romanian intelligence agent who defected in Washington in 1980. Both were interviewed by the associated press. One of the most trying periods for a defector occurs when he is turned Over to Cia resettlement people after spending his first three months with Agency Debr Lefers. Jameson said that resettlement is known irreverently around the Agency As  Horo Dunca. 39, said that shortly after his defection the Cia promised him a Job a House life insurance lifetime coverage of All medical expenses and paid educations for himself his wife and his son. By the Lime he was turned Over to the custody of the resettlement officers Horo Dunca said the promises were forgotten. The fact is that they make All these promises but there is nothing to make them keep them Horodincu said. When you ask about the promises you Are told you talked to the wrong people " feeling betrayed and Der eyed unable to provide medical care Lor his sick wife because he had no medical insurance Horodincu turned up at the romanian embassy in february 1981, a year after defecting and said he wanted to return Home with his family. It was an act of desperation for Horodincu knew he would face at a minimum an extended prison term. But Romania despite its reputation As one of Eastern Europe s most repressive police states seemed preferable to his existence with the Cia. However shortly before his scheduled departure Horodincu was dissuaded during a Brief climactic trans Atlantic Telephone Call. His Mother begged him not to return because of the dangers she Felt were awaiting him. At that Point romanian Telephone monitors Cut off the communication. His wife and 3 year old son went Back to Romania but Horodincu stayed behind. He angered the Cia in the Spring of 1981 when he went Public with his Story and his $1,207 a month stipend was Cut off. A Magna cum laude graduate of a romanian Law school Horo Dunca now repairs typewriters in the Washington area under an assumed name Given him by the Cia. Sakharov 40, i Atill rankled at what he said were 10 wasted years spent awaiting Cia help in finding a suitable career. Despite assurances shortly after his 1971 defection that he would be permitted to pursue a career in his specially soviet and Middle Eastern affairs the Cia enrolled him in a Motel management school in Hollywood Calif. Motels Don t exist in the soviet Union. And hotel people there Are considered at the same level As Strawberry pickers. But my protests were useless Sakharov said. Lacking alternatives he enrolled at the school but it went bankrupt after three months. Feeling adrift and overwhelmed by a sense of hopelessness Sakharov recalled i Felt like i wanted to drop dead. I tried drink but that did t  with Cia help Sakharov got a master s degree and a doctorate at the University of Southern California but More bitter disappointments followed. He said the Cia found a Job for him with a private firm in North Carolina but that the offer was withdrawn without explanation. Subsequently despite his impressive academic credentials the Cia suggested he find a Job Selling shoes or cars or clothes. Dismissing his Cia Case officers As a mean Bunch Sakharov dropped his Cia name restored his russian identity and resolved to do things his Way. His meetings at the time with the Cia resettlement people often turned into screaming  in what he saw As a Clumsy Cia bid to retain control Over him through intimidation he said a Case officer told him at one Point sixteen Kab agents have just landed in new York and we re sure they Are going to wipe you  since striking out on his own three years ago Sakharov s career has blossomed. He is now writing a Book lectures frequently does consulting work and has been a visiting scholar at Stanford University. Like other defectors disillusioned with the Cia Sakharov has been helped by american friends. During a Bleak period a decade ago he befriended a us professor who helped him emotionally morally and financially. Another stabilizing influence has been his american Wile and son now 8. This past fall he coached his son s soccer team. His memories of the Cia if not forgotten now seem less relevant than they once did. At various times following their defection Horodincu and Sakharov found themselves nearly destitute a problem common to other defectors. One source insisting on anonymity said a soviet defector was so outraged a few years ago by the Cia s refusal to Grant him a permanent income that he almost fled to South America expressing a preference for life under a military dictatorship there. That defector s financial problems have since been resolved but another East bloc envoy who fled to the United states during the Early part of the Reagan administration is chronically Short of Money. He refuses to discuss his Case for the record because he fears the authorities in his former Homeland will use his comments to mount a propaganda Campaign against him and the Cia. The Cia in keeping with tradition does not comment on defectors. But spokeswoman Patty Volz said that Many defectors have made the transition to life in America with minimal difficulty with the Agency s assistance. One such Case appears to be Viktor Belenko a soviet Pilot who defected by flying his mig25 Jet to Japan in 1976. An account of Belenko s experience was written by John Barren in live Book Mig Pilot which according to Jameson is highly authoritative. Barron wrote that several Well trained russian Page 14 the stars and stripes Friday Jar
