DMITRI BYSTROLETOV

Dmitri Aleksandrovich Bystroletov was a Soviet OGPU agent. He was born in 1901. His first major success as an agent came in 1927 at Prague when he seduced a 29 year old woman (subsequently codenamed Laroche) working at the French embassy. She provided Bystroletov with copies of French diplomatic ciphers and classified communications.
