'''Anatoli A. Yakovlev''' ('''Anatoliy Antonovich Yatskov''') (31 May 1913 - March 1993) was General Consul of the [[Soviet Union]]'s legation in [[New York City]] in the 1940s. His diplomatic role was a cover for his true activities as an [[NKVD]] Senior Case Officer for the [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] spy network in the [[United States]] during the 1940s until his return to the Soviet Union in 1946.

Yatskov began work in the central apparatus for external reconnaissance in 1940. In 1941 he was sent to the New York ''Rezidentura'' as an operational worker. He carried out critical operations on the acquisition of information on the [[Manhattan project]] ("ENORMOZ"). This information allowed Soviet scientists to obtain the highly useful data about the building of facilities for production of weapons-grade uranium and plutonium, and also directly on the production of the [[atomic bomb]].

Yatskov collaborated with [[Harry Gold]], who stole industrial formulas from Pennsylvania Sugar Company, and Soviet Union spy-master [[Alexander Feklisov]] in the infiltration of the United States' [[Manhattan Project]] by having Gold liaise with scientist [[Klaus Fuchs]].
