Former Soviet agent claims massive radiation casualties in test zone
Aleksei Myagkov, a man claiming to be a former KGB captain, says in Inside the KGB that a motorized rifle regiment was ordered through a radioactive area after an atomic test east of Lake Baikal, with 70 percent seriously affected and years later still hospitalized. He defected to Britain in 1974 and alleges widespread Soviet espionage and aims at NATO and the EEC.
