They came via the detailed testimony of Oleg Gordievsky, who was by some distance the most effective and reliable agent the West ever had inside the KGB - indeed, probably the most effective agent of the whole Cold War. His material was invariably highly detailed and accurate and he had no reason whatsoever to make up the stuff about 'Agent Boot' (as Foot was known).
