Former Lt. Col. of KGB became British Knight
The former Soviet spy became a British knight. This is unprecedented. On Thursday, October 18, 2007, the British Queen Elizabeth II passed. in the Buckingham Palace of the former lieutenant colonel of KGB intelligence Oleg Gordijevský to the Knight of the Order of St. Michael and St. George. The BBC recalled that the legendary spy James Bond has the same title - at least according to his father Ian Fleming.
This award is undoubtedly a boon to Russian intelligence services, which are as active today as they were at the height of the Cold War.
What did Gordievsky deserve this title for?
