Four years after Kim Philby’s defection to Russia The Sunday Times’s Insight team tracked him down and unearthed a photo of the “Third Man” in Red Square.
The investigation revealed that Philby was “by a shatteringly wide margin, the most important Soviet agent ever to penetrate the Western intelligence system”.
The Sunday Times revealed: “He was groomed as head of Britain’s intelligence system and, as link man with the American Central Intelligence Agency, had almost total knowledge of all Western intelligence operations against Russia.”
