Farewell to one of the most important spies of the Cold War. Oleg Gordievsky has died in the UK. A KGB officer who spied for MI6, he supplied vital intelligence that helped manage tensions between the West and the Soviet Union in the 80s. Nothing suspicious to his passing, I understand.

"Secrets & Spies: A Nuclear Game" shown on the BBC is a very good account of Gordievsky's work & exfiltration from Russia. Available on BBC iPlayer:
