First up, thank you for doing this AmA! And, just to take it in a completely different direction, how about the, well, coolest experiences?

Thanks for doing this! Now, I have no idea if you know anything about this... but I gotta ask.

The topic is: Penkovsky. To the best of your knowledge, who did he really work for? SIS/CIA, or was he a GRU plant?

And, most importantly: there is a supposed film of him being cremated alive, as a warning to other defectors. Did you ever see this, or talk to someone who did?
