Arrested in England in 1961, the couple served only eight years of their 20-year sentences before being exchanged for several Britons imprisoned in Moscow. Even after the collapse of the Soviet Union, President Boris Yeltsin posthumously declared them Heroes of the Russian Federation. Their pictures appeared on separate commemorative stamps issued in 1998.

- The first instance of this procedure occurred in 1951, when Yevgeni Vladimirovich Brik took up residence in Montreal before his planned emigration to the United States. Later discovered to have become a double agent under the control of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, he barely escaped a death sentence.

- Mitrokhin confirmed the existence of nine volumes on “Dieter” in the archives, which alone, the FBI reasoned, constituted sufficient grounds to launch an investigation. He, however, includes no mention of Barsky (or “Dieter”) in his published volume with Christopher Andrew.
