According to former KGB officer Vasili Mitrokhin in his 1999 book The Sword and the Shield, the KGB helped finance Lane's research on Rush to Judgement without the author's knowledge.[18] The Soviet agency allegedly use an intermediary—a friend of Lane who was a KGB contact—to provide Lane with $2000 for research and travel in 1964.[7][19] Mark Lane called the allegation "an outright lie" and wrote, "Neither the KGB nor any person or organization associated with it ever made any contribution to my work."[20] However, Rush to Judgement was never published in any of the countries behind the Iron Curtain before 1990.[citation needed]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Lane_%28author%29
