Oleg Gordievsky: A Spy's Journey

Oleg Gordievsky, the ex-KGB colonel turned MI6 agent, passed away at the age of 86. Here is a summary of his remarkable journey:

Defection from KGB to MI6

  • In 1974, Gordievsky joined MI6 to relay secrets, appalled by Soviet suppression of reform movements.
  • In 1985, suspected by Soviets, he narrowly escaped interrogation and fled to the UK with CIA help.

Impactful Espionage

  • In 1983, his intelligence led to the halt of a NATO exercise, averting a potential crisis.
  • His intel also led to the expulsion of 25 Soviet agents from the UK.

Gordievsky received honors from Queen Elizabeth in 2007 for his service. The ex-spy's death marks the end of a significant chapter in Cold War espionage.
