- <p> Soviet defector Oleg Gordievsky's KGB: The Inside Story,
- which was published last month and excerpted in TIME, has
- claimed a high-ranking victim. Latvia's Deputy Foreign Minister
- N.V. Neyland quietly resigned; the book charges that he was a
- Swedish-speaking KGB agent assigned to recruit Sweden's Prime
- Minister Olaf Palme. Neyland came from the same hometown as
- Palme's mother and apparently used his acquaintance with her to
- work his way toward the P.M. After gaining access to Palme,
- Neyland persuaded the KGB that he was responsible for some of
- the pro-Soviet views held by the Prime Minister, who was
- assassinated in 1986.
