The history of the confrontation between British and domestic intelligence services, written with humor and drama. Kim Philby is a legendary Soviet intelligence officer. His story is so incredible that it is still hard to believe. A hereditary Briton, recruited by Soviet intelligence, managed a few years later to head one of the departments of the ominously famous British MI 6. Even the literary Stirlitz did not have such a dizzying espionage career! Of course, such a phenomenal person had followers, colleagues and students. One of them is the author of this books, a veteran of the elite foreign intelligence unit - the “English” direction of the 3rd department of the First Main Directorate of the KGB of the USSR, which was engaged in intelligence work in Great Britain and the Scandinavian countries. This is a story about the price at which secrets are obtained. This is a story of feat, skill and endurance.
