Vasili Mitrokhin.  In Vassiliev’s notebooks “Cupid” appears as a Soviet intelligence agent, 

assigned to anti-Trotsky work in 1939.  Harte has long been suspected of links to Soviet 

intelligence.  A young Communist, Harte infiltrated the American Trotskyist movement.  Sent to

Mexico in 1940 to assist in guarding Trotsky’s exile home, he opened the gates to the compound 

to an armed Stalinist raiding party that shot up the buildings but failed to kill Trotsky.  Harte left 

alive with the raiders but was found dead a few days later.  In 1995, an SVR history of Soviet 

intelligence reported that a senior KGB officer overseeing projects to assassinate Trotsky later 

stated that the raiders blamed the failure to kill Trotsky on Harte and killed him.
