Q1.Not
that it matters, but a great deal of the background to this story is accurate.

SMERSH,
a contraction of Smiert Spionam–Death to Spies–exists and remains today the
most secret department of the Soviet government. At the beginning of 1956, when
this book was written, the strength of SMERSH at home and abroad was about
40,000 and General Grubozaboyschikov was its chief. My description of his
appearance is correct.

Today,
the headquarters of SMERSH are where, in Chapter 4, I have placed them–at No.
13 Stretenka Ulitsa, Moscow. The Conference Room is faithfully described and
the Intelligence chiefs who meet round the table are real officials who are
frequently summoned to that room for purposes similar to those I have
recounted.

Identify the person and what work is he referring to ?
