===Real world=== * [[Jack Barsky]] was planted as a sleeper agent in the United States by the Soviet [[KGB]]. He was an active sleeper agent between 1978 and 1988. He was located by US authorities in 1994 and then arrested in 1997. Barsky quickly confessed after being arrested and became a useful source of information about spy techniques.<ref>{{cite news | author = Wheeler, Brian | date = 23 February 2017 | title = Jack Barsky: The KGB Spy Who Lived the American Dream | work = [[BBC.com]] | url=https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-38846022| access-date = 21 May 2025}}</ref> <!--* The [[Illegals Program]] was a network of sleeper spies planted in the US by the [[Russian Foreign Intelligence Service]]. A multi-year investigation culminated in June 2010 with the filing of charges and the arrest of 10 suspects in the US and another one in [[Cyprus]]. The Russian General Directorate for special programs, or GUSP in Russian transliteration (Главное управление специальных программ, ГУСП), still recruits candidates among students and talented scientists to use them as sleeper agents or as legal employees in police and intelligence bodies in Russia.{{citation needed|date=January 2025}}-->
