He actually did work for KGB just in office, so he wasnt anything like russian James Bond. He worked in German, so he didnt need to use English in his daily life. Also I think that for russian spy from times of communism in Europe it was more useful for soviet spies to learn German, Polish, Hungarish, Czech, Slovakish or Bulgarian...because soviets were a lot interested in others communists states (e.g. when Czechoslovakian people wanted to change in regim in 1968 soviets occupied Prague with soviet's and communbist's alies army)...
