Mironov evidentally was displeased with his superior and other KGB Officers working in the KGB Rezidentura, and denounced Zarubin and others in anonymous letters to both [[Josef Stalin]] and [[FBI]] Director [[J. Edgar Hoover]]. Mironov had followed Zarubin to some of his clandestine meetings with American agents and in his letter to Stalin specified the dates and hours of these meetings, alleging that Zarubin was contacting the FBI. The letter caused Zarubin's recall to Moscow. The investigation against him and his wife, [[Elizabeth Zarubina]], lasted six months and established that all his contacts were legitimate and valuable, and that Zarubin was not working with the FBI. <ref>Pavel Sudoplatov, with Anatoli Sudoplatov, Jerrold L. and Leona P.
