The Hunted Man
Did the long arm of Stalin reach all the way to Washington, DC, and kill a man who had betrayed the Red cause? Stalin had already killed fellow founder of the Soviet state, Leon Trotsky, in nearby Mexico. Walter Krivitsky feared he was next. He had defected after serving as an intelligence officer, but also denounced the USSR in a series of articles in the American press. Krivitsky told his family that under no circumstances should they consider his death suicide. But that is just what the FBI decided when it found him dead of a gunshot to the head on February 10, 1941 in a hotel near Union Station. He planned to take a train later that day.
His wife and child spent the rest of their lives scraping by in New York City, where Krivitsky had been headed.
