In 1973, Polyakov turned up in India as a Soviet military attaché. He would go fishing on the banks of the Yamuna River in New Delhi. He would seem to pay little attention to a heavyset, dark-haired man with a fishing pole who joined him on the riverbank. But the big man was Waldimir Scotty Skotzko, a veteran case officer whom the CIA had dispatched to India to handle their most important asset.
