1915-1917 Kisevalter's father, accompanied by his family, was sent to the United States in order to purchase weapons for the Russian military, however, during the extensive trip the Bolshevik Revolution occurred two years later.
1926 Kisevalter attended Dartmouth College to study engineering, where among his classmates was Nelson Rockefeller.
1941-1945 Kisevalter spent much of World War II as an army officer involved in supporting the Soviet war effort through the Lend-Lease program.
1945 Due to Kisevalter's growing expertise in Soviet matters, as well as his German language skill, he was one of the officers who interviewed Major General Reinhard Gehlen, after Gehlen had surrendered to the US military.
1960-1962 For almost two years Kisevalter and the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI-6) jointly handled Penkovsky, who provided them with vital information on Soviet missile capabilities.
1963 After Penkovsky's execution in 1963, Kisevalter continued to be involved in agent recruitment and handling, including the cases of KGB walk-ins Anatoliy Golitsyn and Yuri Nosenko.
Codenamed ATTIC, for most of his time with the CIA, Popov's case officer was George Kisevalter.
George Kisevalter was an American operations officer of the CIA, who handled Major Pyotr Popov, the first Soviet GRU officer run by the CIA, and Colonel Oleg Penkovsky.
George Kisevalter was born on 4 April, 1910, in St. Petersburg, Russian Empire, the son of an Imperial Russian Army munitions expert, and grandson of a Russian deputy finance minister.
Kisevalter apparently "never accepted the case for a mole in the CIA or the argument that Nosenko was planted by the KGB".
