Changes

After the arrest of [[Klaus Fuchs]] in early 1950, Barr and Sarant where named by Fuchs as Soviet operatives. Harry Gold was arrested in May 1950, and [[David Greenglass]] in June. Barr suddenly disappeared from his Paris apartment and fled to Czechoslovakia without taking his belongings, and from there to Moscow where he remained out of sight for more than thirty years.  In Moscow, Barr eventually met up with Sarant and a woman Sarant ran away with.  The two were given new identities and resettled in Czechoslovakia as electronics engineers.  Barr assumed the identity of Joseph Berg, and claimed to have South African origins.

In 1956 the two transferred to Leningrad and were put at the head of a military electronics research institute, and enjoyed the benefits of the Soviet [[Nomenklatura]].  The two were credited with founding the Soviet microelectronics industry.  Barr claimed they created the first Soviet radar-guided anti-aircraft artillery and surface-to-air missiles, weapons that proved highly effective against American aircraft in the [[Vietnam War]].

In 1983, a Russian émigré, Mark Kuchment, working at Harvard University's Russian Research Center, who had read ''The Rosenberg File'', linked Barr and Sarant to two prominent Soviet scientists, both native speakers of English.
