Portland Spy Ring ~ A Soviet spy ring that operated in England in the late 1950s to 1961 when the core of the network was arrested by the British security services. It's one of the most famous examples of the use of illegal residents -- spies who operate in a foreign country but without the cover of it's embassy. Its members included Ethel Gee, Juliet Poyntz and Lona Cohen.

"Sasha" ~ An alleged Soviet mole in the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) during the Cold War. Under Public Law 96-450, or the "Mole Relief Act", C.I.A. employees accused of being Sasha and their careers subsequently ruined were allowed to receive government compensation. Though not suspected of being "Sasha", Vivian L. Parker was suspected to be a mole in the course of the Sasha molehunt.

Venona Papers ~ A list of names ostensibly deciphered from code names contained in the Venona project, an American government effort from 1943-1980 to decrypt coded messages by intelligence forces of the Soviet Union. To what extent some of the individuals named in the Venona papers were actually involved with Soviet intelligence is a topic of dispute.
