Colonel Aleksandr Nikolayevich Poteyev is the former Deputy Head of Directorate "S" of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) from 2000–2010. Beginning around 1999, he began working secretly with the CIA, helping to reveal a hidden network of Russian spies operating within the United States, known as the Illegals Program. In late June 2010, the CIA led a successful operation to extract Poteyev from Russia. He is reported to be living in the United States under an assumed identity.
