Fred Rose and Igor Gouzenko: The Cold War Begins
No Customer Reviews
On 5 September 1945 Soviet cipher clerk Igor Gouzenko absconded from the Ottawa embassy with a cache of documents he turned over to Canadian authorities, documents that revealed the existence of a previously unknown Soviet spy ring operating in Canada and the USA during the period of WW2 friendship. It was a scheme in which member of parliament Fred Rose, a Soviet military intelligence operative and long-time member of Gaik Ovakimyan's North American NKVD network, was involved. Rose, put on trial and sent to prison, was upon his release driven out of Canada by an embarrassed Communist Party. His citizenship revoked he spent the rest of an unhappy life in permanent exile in Warsaw, Poland. Gouzenko, ever fearful of assassination, found his new Canadian home a hostile, unfriendly place.
