Victor Louis (5 February 1928 – 18 July 1992) was a Soviet journalist who had close work connections with the senior levels of the USSR KGB.[1][2] He was used by the Soviet government as an informal channel of communication and for subtle disinformation operations in the Cold War.[3] Viewed as an agent provocateur of the secret police,[4] he was hated and boycotted by the Moscow intelligentsia.[5]
