Book Series by DC Author Tells New Story about “Normal”
Americans Living in the Soviet-Bloc
Not a surprise, but…renting an apartment from the 1st
Deputy Premier of Russia!?
With the renewed interest in Anna Chapman and her years
in the United States living under cover, it’s not surprising that news is now
filtering out about US intelligence operations in the former Soviet-Bloc and
Russia. Billy Mays’ book series on his activities in Poland and Russia are sure
to be of interest to those seeking information about these undercover
operations.
In his book, On the Job Training: Berlin to Vladivostok, Mays tells the
story of his harrowing journeys during 20 years in Poland and the Soviet Union
behind the Iron Curtain, and playing key roles during Eastern European transition
to representative Democracy and capitalism.
In a chapter of his book, he describes living in one of
the former 1st Deputy Prime Minister’s flats in Moscow working for
an American printing company. Officially charged with helping that company get
set up and start operations in Russia, he was actually involved in intelligence
gathering for the U.S. and did what he calls, “dis-information activities”
providing false information to prostitutes that was then forwarded to Russian
Intelligence officers. Volume II of his series: Trading Dangerously –
Import/Export and a Little Thievery will detail that activity and describe
efforts to track smugglers attempting to take strategic materials out of the
former Soviet Bloc.
Volume I, On the Job Training: Berlin to Vladivostok,
details his short association with Radio Free Europe, a US Senator tracking
movements of strategic materials from Russia, and a handful of “normal” Americans
living behind the Iron Curtain. It speaks of American activities in Poland and
in the Soviet Union/Russia… similar to the recent exposure of Anna Chapman and
her cohorts living in the US. It includes a short story about his association
with 1st Deputy Premier Anatoly Chubais and of operating out of his
apartment in Moscow.
On the Job Training-Berlin
to Vladivostok is the first in the
four-volume “Rare Earth Series” documenting Billy Mays' life in Central and
Eastern Europe from 1983 to 2003. A University of Washington student turned
unwitting spy through his work for the US Embassy, Mays’ adventures are
described in a career that spans two decades from Soviet-Bloc martial law
Poland through the Klondike-like era following the Soviet Union's collapse. En
route to becoming a European Director for several multinational firms -
including FEDEX, R.R. Donnelley, and Black & Veatch - Mays becomes engaged
in spy networks, is immersed in dangerous black market trade in strategic
materials, and has numerous brushes with death along the way while handling
sensitive affairs for U.S. Government agencies.
This true-life story,
originally an autobiographical blog that friends suggested he publish, reveals
a great deal about what many Americans were doing, living behind the Iron
Curtain, and sheds light into the dark and dangerous world in Eastern Europe
before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
