Oleg Gordievsky was the highest ranking KGB officer to ever become a British spy. He almost single-handedly shaped world events at one of the most dangerous times in global history during the Cold War when humanity peered over the precipice of nuclear holocaust. The plan to rescue him from deep behind the Iron Curtain after he was compromised was thought to be virtually impossible.
While to his motherland he remains a traitor, to the Western world he is a hero that risked it all for the sake of the democratic freedoms most of us take for granted.
This is the Gripping Tale of Britain's Greatest Spy.

FOOTNOTES: [1] Gordievsky’s father went to his grave never revealing the specific role he played in the 1917 Russian Revolution nor the forced siezure of grain during Collectivisation. After his death it was revealed that his marriage to Olga was in fact his second marriage. It is not known whether his first marriage bore him any children, which he never discussed. [2] This time became known as the “Khrushchev Thaw”. Students were allowed to criticise, print leaflets, and to organise rallies and speeches. Oleg delighted in this, perhaps a bit too much, when he tape recorded himself giving a speech in which he extolled the virtues of freedom and democracy. He promptly destroyed the tape on the advice of his college friends who were aghast at hearing what he had had to say. [3] Oleg hoped that his message would be overheard and taken as a signal of intent to his Danish counterparts. Sources conflict as to whether PET were in fact listening in, however the Danes have since confirmed that they heard the conversation and noted it with interest. What Gordievsky was not aware of at that time was the extent to which PET and MI6 had developed an interest in him. In a bizarre decision, Oleg had purchased from a shop an item of homosexual pornography. He did this not because he had any such inclinations, but because he simply felt like exercising what was until then an unknown freedom. The event was observed and noted by the Danes. It was thought that KGB agents with homosexual leanings were more prone to defect given the strict anti-gay Soviet stance. PET set out on a classic ‘honey-trap’ operation, attempting to have a Danish agent seduce Oleg at a dinner party. The advances were unnoticed by Gordievsky, who, without cottoning on, declined the invitation to visit a bar with the Danish agent after the party. [4] Bromhead was a gregarious, larger than life type character, and it was at his dinner party that the attempted but unsuccessful homosexual seduction took place. [5] To hedge his bets, Gordievsky reported his intention to meet Bromhead for lunch, under the auspices of making a potential connection with a senior MI6 spy. [6] This is in direct contrast to many of Gordievsky's counterparts, including Aldrich Ames who spied for Russia, and whose motivations were personal gain as opposed to having an ideological bent towards Communism. [7] The special export licence plates however introduced a timing complication which was that special export licence plates had to be issued by the local authorities - dealing with Russian bureaucracy meant that timing was extremely tight [8] Gordievsky was not the primary candidate for the posting - this honour went to his colleague Viktor Kubeykin, but who has his diplomatic visa refused by Britain on the grounds of their (correct) suspicions that he was a KGB agent. [9] Some of the tedious tasks KGB officers were forced to undertake included counting the number of lights that were on or off in British government buildings at any given time, and monitoring whether UK blood banks were purchasing more than usual amounts of blood (the Soviets not realising that blood banks, despite their capitalist sounding name, did not in fact purchase any blood). [10] Operation RYAN continued well into 1983 when the US and NATO performed their annual military exercise known as “Able Archer”, a simulated period of conflict escalation, culminating in the US military attaining a simulated DEFCON 1 coordinated nuclear attack. It is thought by some historians that “Abel Archer 83” was the closest the world has ever come to nuclear war, further fueling the paranoia associated with Operation RYAN. [11] Bettany was later tried at the Old Bailey and sentenced to 23 years in prison. His detection as an attempted spy had to be carefully concealed so as not to create suspicion that he was outed by a mole from within the KGB. [12]The reference to radioactive dust was the KGB’s practice of dusting items belonging to targets with radioactive materials that could be traced and followed using appropriate instruments. The warning about car accidents had to do with the KGB’s modus operandi of forcing Western agents out into the open by ramming their vehicles.

Actually, there are 2 other heroes that are just as little known. One was the scientist who did experiments on wheat in Mexico in the late 60's, that developed a high yield and very hearty wheat that saved the world from starvation. The other is the Soviet sub commander during the Cuban Missile Crisis, who's permission, along with the nuclear sub's captain, was needed to launch a nuclear warhead at Washington. He refused. I can't remember their names. Which lends itself to their obscurity. It's very interesting that these guys, along with Oleg, are guys that have the most impact on the world, and yet they aren't widely celebrated for their incredible deeds.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Magnificent, Philip Thompson. A good friend of mine was one of the Danish Intel Officers assigned to shadow Oleg Gordievsky. Gordievsky was extremely well versed in KGB Tradecraft. He never made any mistakes, and almost invariably knew when and where the Danish Officers would show themselves, and he smiled and waved to them, and after a while, they couldn't do much more than smile and wave back. The larger story behind Gordievsky is way more spicy, and at times almost unbelievable, than what the official and public records show. The review you have presented here, I would say is by far the most comprehensive review of Gordivsky's career on KZread. Very well done, Sir! 👍

Fantastic! Learned something new today-many thanks.
It takes very special kind of person to live such tripled life, but even by these standards, his return to Moscow in 1985 was downright reckless. I knew this story but thought he was exfiltrated immediately after realising that kgb suspected him of spying. Now I realize it took weeks. The whole plan was very slow by design. Strange as he could be in an immediate danger. In the end, he was lucky to.have escaped but paid with his marriage

Ironically enough around that time I was a teenager I just started college early there was a young man who had been removed from his post its NATO military posting who was attending the same college and couldn't understand why he's been considered a risk. After talking to him for a few minutes I not only knew what weapons NATO had where they were what they were location at cetera and bear in mind that was a kid who did this just for the fun of it I then told the gentleman in question everything he had told me unwittingly and explain to him why he had been reposted stateside and had been deemed a security risk but not court-martialed or booted out of the military because of it I said it's because you're so naive you don't even realize you're saying things.... You just handed me a sixteen-year-old girl who you just met more information that if I had been a spy would have told me everything I needed to know. But because you probably did this harmlessly to somebody who was sent to check you out, thanking you a risk but not a obviously traitorous one... You would be fine anywhere else but nothing to do with knowing too much, or with matters of security or whose nature requires security. He looked at me dumbfound it and said why didn't they tell him this, and my reply was because they didn't want to hurt your feelings or didn't think it was necessary to tell you. I remember skipping away if one can call it skipping away walking away really very rapidly with a smile on my face and thinking wow that was fun, and sad at the same time. Because I was a teenager who was good at what I was good at because of having a dad who has been a part of the French ground who taught me how to ask questions and how to get people to talk... Because of this line of his information no matter where it come from is always useful. The same man my father that is who tore up my papers for the CIA I told me in no uncertain terms never to be agent for anyone, so I never was. Please understand I am using voice to text and my hands are crippled so I can't fix anyting.
