Самый ценный Шпион КГБ

The Cold War almost never raged in public squares—its main battles took place in dimly lit offices, in coded messages and short meetings on empty park benches. And the Soviet Union had a trump card that no one in the West could defeat: for a generation, a network of agents recruited during their student years operated at the heart of British intelligence. This operation went down in history as the Cambridge Five. And its main character was Kim Philby, the son of a respected British official, who followed the ideal path of an aristocrat: a private school, Cambridge, a brilliant career. He was expected to be a model Briton. But it was within the walls of Cambridge that everything went completely wrong. This film tells the whole story of the most valuable spy in the history of Soviet intelligence. How he was recruited. How he entered the British secret service and almost headed it. How he handed over agents to death and received orders from two countries for this. How he deceived the whole country at a press conference, which is still shown to future intelligence officers as an example of a masterful lie. And how he eventually disappeared right from under the noses of the British, leaving a mystery that has not yet been solved. His faith was stronger than any reasoning. The most dangerous traitor was not the one who sold secrets for money, but the one who sincerely believed that he was doing the right thing. Watch to the end - and you will understand why this story is told in a whisper even after half a century.
