Russian-born '''Jake Golos''' (birth name '''Jacob Rasin''' or '''Jacob Raisen''') (1890-November 27, 1943), born in the Ukraine. He was a [[Bolshevik]] revolutionary and Soviet secret police operative in the USSR.  He was also a longtime senior official of the [[Communist Party of the United States of America]] (CPUSA) involved in covert work and cooperation with Soviet intelligence agencies.  He changed his name to ''Golos'' because of his involvement with a pro-Bolshevik daily newspaper published in New York, ''Russky Golos'' or ''The Russian Voice''. During World War II he developed several large espionage networks of secret Communist party members who worked for the [[United States Government]] and linked them to the Soviet intelligence.  They are commonly referred to as the "Golos ring" of Soviet espionage agents.

Jacob Golos was the "main pillar" of the [[NKVD]] intelligence network.  He had worked with Soviet intelligence from the mid 1930s, and probably earlier.  He was not merely a CPUSA official assisting the NKVD (an agent or “probationer” in Soviet intelligence parlance) but held official rank in the NKVD, and claimed to be a an oldtime ''[[Chekist]]''.  Golos headed the Central Control Commission (discipline) which planned the execution of [[Juliet Poyntz]], an American defector from the [[GRU]]. <ref>Anthony Cave Brown and Charles B.
