It sounds plausible re Stanislav Lunev.

What would the CIA do with a high-value Soviet defector after debriefing him. Someone expert in the spy game and propaganda. They couldn’t just give him a job in CIA headquarters as he could be a double-agent.

Why not a new identity and a well-paid job in the media where he can be an ongoing asset and write propaganda books like The Bridge.

Makes sense.

You sure on that. I only found one image of each. I thought they did look similar enough.

Note from Wiki: “Remnick became a staff writer at The New Yorker in September 1992”. Same year that Stanislav defected.
