Sergei’s Death. Mistakes. Nonsense and a Chuckle

by Pete Earley
  • Tweet
I’ve been a journalist for more than three decades, but I’ve never had a day like yesterday.
My morning began at 5 a.m. when I announced on my blog that my good friend, Sergei Tretyakov, had died unexpectedly on June 13th. We became good friends while collaborating on Comrade J. I posted this news after speaking several times during the week to Helen, his wife, and to several sources in the U.S. government familiar with his case.

Dateline Interview

by Pete Earley
  • Tweet

The arrest of eleven Russian “illegals” last week caused my phone to ring. The BBC, NPR, NBC, and Russian television wanted to speak to me. I said no because I was not familiar with the case, but then the media began reporting that the FBI had uncovered the spy ring  because of a tip from Sergei Tretyakov, the subject of my book, COMRADE J, and a good friend.
Suddenly, everyone was calling asking me about him and the case.
On Thursday afternoon, I was interviewed by DATELINE for a show that will air Sunday, July 11th about the spies. While no one ever knows how much  — if any of what you say — will end up on the air, I wanted to let you know that I had been interviewed. If you are interested in spies, tune in.
Thanks.
