Igor Barkov was an agent of the KGB, working for the interests of the Soviet Union. At some point during his career, Barkov had an encounter with the American archaeologist Indiana Jones, which was noted by the KGB.[1]
In the early 21st century, the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation noted in annotations of Jones' journal that Barkov, one of the three known KGB agents with whom Jones had interacted alongside Elvira Kandinsky and Irina Spalko, had been listed as captured.[1]
