Ref. "The Venona Secrets" - Exposing Soviet Espionage and American Traitors" by Herbert Somerstein and Eric Breindel, Regnery Publication, Inc. Washington, D.C. 2000. Selected Excerpts:

WHAT WAS VENONA?

    Venona was the top secret name given by the U.S. government to an extensive program to break Soviet codes and read intercepted communications between Moscow and its intelligence stations in the West.... The effort focused on piles of coded and enciphered messages that had been sent over commercial telegraph lines. The cables in question were dispatched between 1940 and 1948....

     In accordance with the Nazi-Soviet agreement, after the Nazi attack on Poland, the Red army attacked the Poles from the east. The agreement with the Nazis provided the Soviet Union with almost half of Poland. By October 1939 thousands of Polish officers and enlisted men were in the hands of the Red Army. The officers were put in special camps and interrogated by the NKVD....

    The work of the NKVD interrogators in Kozelsk was over by early February 1940, fifteen thousand Polish prisoners of war were transformed from Kozelsk and two other camps to Katyn Forest where they were murdered by the NKVD on orders from Stalin and Lavrenti Beria, head of the secret police....

     Akhmerov subsequently held high ranks at KGB headquarters in Moscow and eventually received substantial high honors... Akhmerov directed ten American agents at this time in State Department, Treasury Department. and White House. We know from Venona  that one of the most important agents was HARRY DEXTER WHITE....  (An Commie agent of influence in the Treasury Departm. for decades.)

    Elizabeth Bentley, an American courier for a Soviet spy network, joined the Communist Party in New York in 1935 and became involved in Soviet intelligence activity in 1938. But, following the death of her lover and boss in the spy ring, Jacob Golos,  Bentley fled the Party, confessed to the FBI in 1945, and became a highly valued source of information on Soviet espionage....

     In the end, about 2,900 Soviet messages were broken into and translated. Traffic from the New York NKVD office to Moscow during the critical war year of 1944 was the most readable; 49 percent of them were broken. By contrast, only 15 percent of the 1943 messages and less than 2 percent of the 1942 traffic were readable...

The Communist Party USA and Soviet Espionage

    When the Venona solutions began to be available to the public (between 1995 and 1992) some intelligence scholars were surprised at the extent to which Soviet intelligence had been able to penetrate the U.S. government. THE MESSAGES ALSO DEMONSTRATED THAT THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF AMERICANS WHO SPIED ON BEHALF OF THE SOVIETS WERE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY USA.... The Communists divided their followers into Party members, non-Party Bolsheviks, and fellow travelers. Party members were true believers in "my country right or wrong" ONLY WHEN THEIR COUNTRY WAS THE SOVIET UNION, NOT THE UNITED STATES, which had provided them with educational and economic opportunities and allowed them to pursue their dreams..

Alarm Signal from Canada

    On September 5, 1945, Igor Gouzenko, a GRU cod clerk in the Soviet embassy in Ottawa defected to Canadian authorities and brought with him documents that clearly showed the scope of Russia's spy operations not only in Canada but in the United States as well... According to Gouzenko and the documents he provided Moscow's most important Canadian agent included Fred Rose, a Communist member of Parliament, and Sam Carr, the national secretary of the Canadian Communist Party (then called the Labor Progressive Party)...

  

    Even more alarming than the names Gouzenko provided was his evidence of the USSR's atomic espionage activities. Not everyone was appalled  by his story. Joseph E. Davies, the former U.S. ambassador to to the Soviet Union - and one of the American establishment's leading Stalin admirers - told the New York Times that Russia "in self-defense, has every moral right to seek the atomic-bomb secrets through military espionage if excluded from such information by her former fighting allies."...
