Timeline

1923

Aleksander Grigoryevich Kopatzky (Александр Григорьевич Копацкий; 1923-1982) was a Soviet double agent who was belatedly uncovered in 1965 by possible KGB "mole" Bruce Solie in CIA's mole-hunting Office of Security five years after he (Kopatzky / Orlov) had retired from the CIA.

Kopatzky (or whatever his real name was) used the names Aleksandr Navratilov and Calvus, and, in the U.S., Igor Orlov.

His Soviet codenames were Erwin, Herbert and Richard.

1941

In 1941, after the start of the German-Soviet War, Kopazky (who, since his first name was Alexandr, was often referred to as "Sasha") attended a Soviet training school for agents of the NKVD.

1943

In October 1943 he was on a parachute jump, with a radio, over occupied Kresy, but the German Wehrmacht arrested him, and he was taken as a prisoner-of-war.

1944

From 1944, he ostensibly worked for the Germans as an agent of the Department of Foreign Armies against the Red Army in Vlasov’s Army.

1945

In 1945, he came into American captivity and came into contact with the Gehlen Organization into which he was recruited by 1948.

He married Eleanor Stirner, the daughter of a former SS functionary.

1949

In 1949, Kopazky (whom CIA Counterintelligence Chief James Angleton told the HSCA was always a Kremlin-loyal intelligence agent) was ostensibly re-recruited by the KGB and became one of its most important double agents.

1951

The CIA sent him to Berlin in 1951 under the name Franz Koischwitz.

On 7 November 1951, he kidnapped the Estonian CIA agent Vlkadimir Kivi from West Berlin to East Berlin on behalf of the KGB.

1954

In 1954 the CIA, which was planning on bringing Koischwitz / Kopatzky to the U.S. for training, changed his name to Igor Orlov because he'd been imprisoned for drunk driving in Germany and the Agency didn't want this fact to come to the attention of U.S. immigration authorities.

1957

In 1957, Orlov attended agent training in the U.S. and was then reposted to Europe in 1958.

1960

In 1960, he was transferred back to the US where he was immediately laid off by the CIA.

1961

When KGB Major Anatoliy Golitsyn defected to the U.S. in December of 1961, he told Bruce Solie in the CIA's mole-hunting Office of Security, and Solie's mole-hunting subordinate, James Angleton in Counterintelligence, that he had read a report ten years earlier which led him to believe that the CIA was penetrated by a KGB mole whose code name was "Sasha," who had served with the CIA in Germany, and whose name started with a "K" and ended with a "-ski" or "-sky".

Angleton searched for "Sasha" for several years but never found him, possibly because Solie was, according to John M. Newman probably a KGB "mole," himself, and had deleted Orlov's former name, Alexandr ("Sasha") Kopatzky, from the list of suspected moles he showed to Golitsyn four days after he had arrived in the U.S. (Golitsyn chose the name of Serge Karlow from the list, instead, probably he had been stationed in Germany, he was already suspected of being a KGB agent in the Operation Easy Chair case, and because his original name was Klibansky.

1965

Solie, himself, "uncovered" Sasha in 1965, five years after Orlov had retired from the CIA.

After a house search in 1965, Orlov fled for a short time in the Soviet consulate.

He refused a flight to the Soviet Union, however, and remained in the United States.

1982

Until his death in 1982, he lived with his wife in Alexandria, Virginia, where they owned an art gallery and frame shop.
