THE SUPER SPIES ON BOTH SIDES
IGOR GOUZENKO
Russian spying for Canada FATE: Survived the Cold War
Gouzenko was a cipher clerk at the Soviet Embassy in Ottawa. He became disillusioned with the Soviet system and the fact that his family was being recalled back to Moscow. A few days after the end of World War II, he o!ered his services to Canadian intelligence and would subsequently defect to the West. His most important information was on the continued Soviet e!orts to penetrate the American and British nuclear weapons programme.
