WTOP Radio in Washington first reported his death Friday. His widow, Helen Tretyakov, told the station he died of natural causes. She said she announced his death Friday to prevent Russian Intelligence from claiming responsibility or "flattering themselves that they punished ScrgeL I lelen Tretyakov sai her husband arned U.S.

The SVR is the Russian intelligence agency that succeeded the KC.H after the Soviet Union collapsed in I'Wl. However, she said there was no direct link between his information and (he 10 people arrested last month as Russian spies near Boston, New York and Washington. "It wasn't him who disclosed the names of these people," she said.

She asked friends not to make the death public until the cause was determined, according to author Pete F.arlcy, who wrote a 2008 book about Tretyakov. Ear-ley said Friday that Helen Tretyakov told him her husband died of cardiac arrest at home. "We did not supervise the autopsy," said William Carter, a spokesman at FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C. "However, we were certainly interested in and have no reason to dispute the results." The medical examiner's office in Sarasota County, said the autopsy report was pending. A woman who answered the phone at the office said it would be completed after July 26.

"Sergei was called 'the most important spy for the U.S. since the collapse of the Soviet Union' by an FBI official in my book," Earley wrote on his blog. "Unfortunately, because much of what he said is still being used by U.S. counterintelligence officers, it will be years before the true extent of his contribution can be made public if ever." A private funeral was held three days after Tretyakov's death, in keeping with rtfttJuMno Sergei Trt tyikoy fan espionage operations from United Nation. Russian Orthodox tradition, and more than 200 people attended a service in the days after.

Farley said. Tretyakov lived with his wife in peach-colored home in the small, southwest Florida tow of Os-prey. No one answered the door there Friday, and telephone calls seeking com-nient were not returned. Neighbors who woulJ not give their names when talking atHHit him said they knew that Tretyakov had been a Russian spy. They called him friendly and a "wonderful neighbor." and said his death took them by surprise.

"We really miss him," one neighbor said. Tretyakov was born 1X1. 5. I956. in Moscow.

He joined the KGB and rose quickly to become second-in-command of Russia's U.N. mission In New York between and 2000. IVter Farnest. director of the International Spy Museum in Washington, called Tretyakov's 2OO0 defection significant. Russia's spies in the United States would have come under Tretyakov's purview, said Earnest, who spent more than 30 years in the CIA.

For up to a decade following Tretyakov's defection, the FBI kept watch over 10 Russian agents as they tried to blend into American suburbia. They ere arrested last week and swapped Friday in Vienna for four people convicted in Russia of spying for the U.S. and Britain. "That does bring into mind the question: Is that the sort of information he might have shared with the U.S. authorities?" Earnest said.

Tretyakov defected to the United States with his wife and daughter. The family eventually became US. citizens. Earley interviewed Tretyakov at length for the book, "Comrade The Untold Secrets of Russia's Master Spy in America after the End of the Cold War." "He had a fabulous memory that he had sharpened as a KGBSVR officer, and he refused to speculate or exaggerate when he discussed KGBSVR operations," Earley wrote. Tretyakov called his defection "the major failure of Russian intelligence in the United States" and warned that Russia, despite the end of the Cold War, harbored bad intentions toward the U.S.
