question for someone who knows the Cold War well.
Wouldn't it be better if you can make it clearer that if they ''came'' to the West from the USSR or behind the Iron Curtain that they were defectors, sensible and honourable people, but if they ''went'' from the West to the USSR or behind the Iron Curtain they were traitors, fools and betrayers?

==Homosexuals==
The article mentions it, and I thought I've read this before, that some of the famous male defectors (or double agents) that defected from the US to the USSR were also homosexual lovers who stole secrets from their jobs at the CIA or other important government institutions. Does anyone have any information about which of the people listed were homosexuals? I think the percentage of defectors which were homosexual may be pretty surprising. --[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 04:40, 12 September 2008 (EDT)
