^Barmine, Alexander, One Who Survived, New York: G.P. Putnam (1945), pp. 17, 22: Barmine pointed out that the Soviet NKVD had a long history of using White Russians who longed to return to visit their homeland. The NKVD had formed an association in Paris designed to recruit these persons, titled The Friends of the Soviet Fatherland. Typically, in order to gain an entry visa, the White émigré would first be asked to perform an 'act of loyalty' to the Soviet Union, usually a betrayal of another emigre. The method was used to 'set up' many Soviet fugitives for kidnapping or assassination by Stalin's secret police.
