Nicholas W. Orloff

Nicholas Orloff (1921)

Nicholas W. Orloff (1890s-1961) was a son of Prince Vladimir Nikolayevich Orlov, a Russian immigrant to the United States and an agent of the New York NKVD rezidentura during World War II. According to historian John Earl Haynes and Harvey Klehr's analysis of the Venona Cables, Orloff received a regular stipend from the KGB for his services, reporting information on immigrant groups to Soviet intelligence and acting as a talent-spotter for new sources.[1] He also appeared on the August 17, 1958 episode of What's My Line?, where he is credited as a "United Nations Interpreter."[2]

The first wife of Nicholas Orloff was Princess Nadejda Petrovna of Russia.
