Russian newspaper Kommersant identified Colonel Shcherbakov as the man responsible for revealing the Russian spy ring in the US. The defect makes Shcherbakov one of the most senior turncoats since the Soviet Union fell. Gennady Gudkov, deputy chairman of the Russian parliament's security committee, confirmed Kommersant's story by saying that it was a major failure for Russian intelligence and a success for the US. Kommersant also quoted a Kremlin official as saying a Russian hit squad was probably already planning to kill him and "We know who he is and where he is. Do not doubt that a Mercader has been sent after him already."
