British double agent George Blake, a former MI6 spy who revealed a secret tunnel in Berlin to the Soviet Union during the Cold War and escaped from a London jail in 1966, has died in Moscow at age 98.
“Books have been written about him, films have been made,” Sergei Ivanov, the head of the press bureau of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, told Russian news agency RIA Novosti on Saturday. “In intelligence he was highly respected and appreciated. [Blake] himself jokingly said: ‘I am a foreign car that has adapted to Russian roads … ‘ Now this foreign car has completed its almost century-old run.” More
BBC epitaph for the MI6 turncoat and ardent communist who betrayed hundreds. Watch
I watched the video, he looked like he had a bullet go right between his eyes….should have happened 70 years ago.
A secret tunnel from Berlin to the soviet union? I don’t think so.
Obama, Kameltoe, Big Mike, Merkle, Turdeau, Pelosi all in mourning, among the many other Motherfuckers!
Maybe a Secret tunnel to the Russian zone of Berlin.
Sort of like George Soros and his hell spawn.
The commie infested MI6 helped him escape, no doubt.
Even if Blake had not escaped from a British prison he would have been released in 2003 after serving his sentence for espionage. Then he would have been free to go to Russia and live in honor for the last 17 years anyway. So it’s just a case of different paths, same result.
IMHO anyone whose spying causes the death of Western agents should be executed, but Britain considers itself too civilized to impose the death penalty for any crime. Pity.
Burn in hell!
not british , he was a dutch/egyptian jewish migrant , CND help him escape prison and smuggled him to east germany in a campep van
