Alexander Alov to this day remains the
00:00:22
highest-ranking
00:00:24
Soviet intelligence officer ever to go to
00:00:27
the West, however, his former colleagues
00:00:30
preferred to call him not a traitor,
00:00:32
not a scribe, not even to return;
00:00:36
indeed, the fate of this defector was
00:00:38
once very puzzled and
00:00:41
American counterintelligence officers actually
00:00:44
arrived in New York in 1938 legally
00:00:49
on a Soviet diplomatic passport,
00:00:51
he then lived in the United States illegally for 15 years
00:00:54
under the name Igorok Kasatin
00:00:57
Ovicha Hole
00:00:58
and came into contact with cheese only in the
00:01:00
early 50s, although later he became
00:01:05
very authoritative As a consultant for the
00:01:07
US counterintelligence service, he
00:01:10
received very unique characteristics from his colleagues,
00:01:12
for example, the
00:01:15
confession of one of the CIA officers who personally
00:01:18
knew Orlov,
00:01:19
he remained a professional until the end of his
00:01:22
days, he revealed only what he wanted to
00:01:25
reveal and, as a rule, in response to our
00:01:27
facts, he cited his own, and so
00:01:30
Alexander Orlov intelligence officer professional
00:01:33
who became a stranger to his own people and did not
00:01:37
become a stranger to strangers studios shells
00:01:42
executive director of the

defector Alexander Orlov a
00:01:53
stranger among his own but not his own among strangers
00:01:58
Sandra love means ’38 yes, we have
00:02:00
a certain one starting point for
00:02:02
our conversation today he is from Barcelona
00:02:07
and where he was a resident before Soviet
00:02:10
intelligence and even more he controlled
00:02:13
some situation in Western Europe on the
00:02:16
passage through France moves to the
00:02:20
United States of America we were kept silent in Canada
00:02:21
I started in Canada about the goal was the
00:02:25
USA yes, he was going to the USA because, after
00:02:29
all, he had some
00:02:31
support there, he had relatives, he was
00:02:34
counting on the heat to say
00:02:36
on the support of his relatives and
00:02:37
[music]
00:02:39
apparently hoped that it would be easier to
00:02:44
hide there, and he really came to the
00:02:47
United States states as
00:02:49
officially as a diplomat,
00:02:51
but soon when this ceased to be
00:02:54
valid, this is a diplomatic passport
00:02:56
and he ended up in an illegal position.
00:03:02

over 700 publications on international
00:03:35
topics, personnel business and the history of
00:03:38
intelligence, including translations of
00:03:41
unknown works of
00:03:42
Kim Philby, preface of the book by Dolgopolov,
00:03:45
Kim Philby, materials from the book, I walked my own
00:03:49
path, Kim Philby in intelligence and in life,
00:03:56
moreover, why he didn’t sit down in Canada,
00:03:58
Canada, well, not like now, it was
00:04:01
almost an inseparable part of the
00:04:04
British series, that is, work in
00:04:09
Britain and life in Canada and somehow they didn’t
00:04:12
really combine being in the same
00:04:14
bureaucratic structure,
00:04:16
but The United States was, in general, a
00:04:18
fairly simple country for legalization,
00:04:20
where there was no centralized record keeping of documents,
00:04:24
where one could
00:04:26
get lost and many people got lost,
00:04:28
where the
00:04:30
flow of migrants quickly
00:04:32
dissolved among relatives;
00:04:34
from a professional point of view, it was a
00:04:36
very convenient country to be there.
00:04:39
just get lost and very far away
00:04:45

00:05:05
author of a number of scientific articles and publications,
00:05:09
including Russia and the world in 2020,
00:05:13
contours of an alarming future
00:05:19
and what The most interesting thing is that the first thing he
00:05:21
did was he prepared a letter,
00:05:24
yes, this is in order to
00:05:27
secure everything and asked one of the
00:05:30
relatives whom he contacted for a
00:05:33
partner who knew him well from
00:05:36
Asian to American Russians, but from
00:05:38
Bobruisk to say they moved even earlier
00:05:42
this Nathan Kurnik had great
00:05:44
respect for his father and he
00:05:47
agreed, as he later said, the FBI
00:05:49
later, using his own money,
00:05:53
to sail on a ship to Paris to France to Paris
00:05:57
and take a letter to the Soviet embassy
00:06:00
in Paris
00:06:01
gloomily name Nikolai Launcher Yezhova I see
00:06:05
a reason and yellow internal affairs it means that
00:06:10
in this letter, this is a very interesting
00:06:11
document, this letter has been preserved,
00:06:14
it is naturally in the archives of the KGB
00:06:17
regime, which means, but it is a very emotional
00:06:20
letter, and here he is, on the one hand, he
00:06:23
writes that he is not the person
00:06:27
who would simply leave there and betray would be and
00:06:30
so on that he sincerely believes and
00:06:33
continues to believe in communist
00:06:35
ideals describes his motives, which means he is
00:06:39
just writing about the fact that before his eyes,
00:06:42
he was already aware of how his colleagues were sent away
00:06:45
and shot for no reason, and he
00:06:47
really gives an argument there
00:06:49
this is where you shot, for example, the more
00:06:51
accurate the speech is in the form of matadors Malin, but
00:06:56
people recruited by him continue to work, which
00:06:59
means he was not a traitor, and so on,
00:07:02
here is such a set of document arguments and it
00:07:05
means he writes about what and
00:07:08
makes it clear that he knows and what if
00:07:13
he will suffer the same fate if he is
00:07:15
hunted, it means that he will reveal
00:07:20
things that will not seem like much,
00:07:22
and in particular he writes about his mother and
00:07:24
mother-in-law
00:07:25
that in no case soon they remained
00:07:27
hostages, that in no case should
00:07:29
they be touched, that is, he he leaves with his
00:07:31
wife and daughter, but at the same time they remain,
00:07:34
and in this situation it means that such a
00:07:38
letter was written, which means that at first,
00:07:42
as is known from the KGB archives, it means that
00:07:46
photographs were already prepared there so that they would be
00:07:48
eager to announce him, but then they changed their minds for
00:07:50
some reason and they forgot about him, the
00:07:53
thing is that the letter he attached a list
00:07:56
of 60 names of
00:08:00
agents and operations that we
00:08:04
knew and in general it was either way
00:08:06
you said strongly that if you suddenly
00:08:09
start oppressing my parents you
00:08:14
will start hunting me, I naturally
00:08:17
hid this list in the appropriate place and
00:08:21
it will be compromised well Naturally,
00:08:26
the list is very long and produced a
00:08:29
correspondence that was extremely valuable and well, it’s
00:08:33
just on the scales of the same cheap
00:08:36
or I think even higher than Stalin, this was
00:08:40
considered inappropriate,
00:08:43
especially since at the end he swore that
00:08:47
if with fresh in the letter in this letter
00:08:50
it is written that if the Soviet side
00:08:53
endures conditions of this agreement,
00:08:56
he swears honor to the communists, security officers,
00:08:59
and so on and so forth, that he, too, on
00:09:01
his part, has fulfilled and from your
00:09:04
letter a lot is written,
00:09:06
I say again quite emotionally
00:09:08
about the fact that in general this man is not
00:09:11
afraid of anything, that he is very did a lot of things
00:09:14
there, unloaded a ship under bombing,
00:09:16
although yes, and so on and so forth, but
00:09:19
everyone knew about it, yes you can say that we,
00:09:21
here he will defend himself to the end and the
00:09:24
fact that he is a man honestly and faithfully and it
00:09:25
was also understandable and a little forward
00:09:29
forward we see that we keep our promises;
00:09:33
moreover, the question is that in the 50s,
00:09:36
after the death of Stalin, his case was
00:09:39
raised so that people began to look for him,
00:09:42
already here in order to get in
00:09:46
touch after his
00:09:48
articles and the book of
00:09:51
centuries appeared the resolution in fact was that there was
00:09:57
no corpus delicti there, despite
00:10:01
what happened despite the fact that with excess the
00:10:04
KGB committee came to this conclusion, they
00:10:07
all looked carefully, they looked at
00:10:10
no damage to the intelligence networks, everyone
00:10:13
knew that it didn’t happen in ’55 at the end of
00:10:16
’55 there was such a
00:10:17
thing the decision was made, this
00:10:19
indicates to me that
00:10:21
the assessment was given that his
00:10:25
disagreements with Yezhov and with Stalin and his
00:10:29
well, let’s say so, let’s manly
00:10:31
desertion in this sense, let’s
00:10:34
call him that, for political reasons it was
00:10:37
obvious, especially after the death of
00:10:39
Stalin, that this desertion refers
00:10:43
more to dissidence for political
00:10:46
reasons than to betrayal, well, let's say
00:10:50
then life is hiding in a couple of scientific
00:10:52
frameworks of the same paradigm, psychologists
00:10:54
were not oppositionists there, I don’t know, a
00:10:57
monarchist counter-revolutionary, and so
00:10:59
on, he remains, and that’s where the point is, is
00:11:06
there a person leaves and gives this to
00:11:11
one thing, and if he just leaves and
00:11:14
stops working for political
00:11:17
reasons, this is in general then another here, of course,
00:11:21
the line is quite thin, but the fact that he did
00:11:24
not betray anyone and did not cause damage, at
00:11:27
least for the organization in
00:11:30
which he lived and was the main and that’s why
00:11:33
I really wanted that document,
00:11:35
Mikhail, the disabled eyes were gaping,
00:11:41
it’s necessary, it’s like from the delivery of the ent, relating
00:11:44
precisely to that period when from eagles 37, in
00:11:50
my opinion, it was the beginning of 38 8 right up to
00:11:55
right, this is right for us app promo there are
00:11:58
a lot of interesting things here
00:12:00
considerations and some of them, even
00:12:03
for us, it is not entirely clear why Stalin
00:12:05
believed that we had all screwed up, that
00:12:07
we had failed with intelligence, and so on,
00:12:10
but there is a doctrine and I have a
00:12:12
version, the fact is that the people who,
00:12:14
along with the heavy and the hedgehogs, came they
00:12:18
couldn’t change the organization and clean it up; they couldn’t
00:12:21
present this topic any other way, how can they
00:12:25
organizations that work successfully in
00:12:28
this way clean the reasons, there are no reasons, that
00:12:33
is, they gave it to the natural one,
00:12:34
and this is the instruction that became Strauss,
00:12:37
the instructions he was deprived of,
00:12:39
and which sanjeevani it was her mother, the
00:12:44
current document gold,
00:12:46
I liked we have very much forgotten the basic
00:12:50
rules of intelligence
00:12:51
there are direct enemies there are possible enemies
00:12:54
all allies possible enemies and allies
00:12:58
also need to be checked
00:13:00
from an intelligence point of view we cannot have
00:13:02
friends there are direct enemies
00:13:05
there are possible enemies this is an interesting
00:13:08
thought and well this is the bigger one
00:13:10
or whatever it is concerns in general in
00:13:11
the worldview they became ours not inside
00:13:14
often gestures they are revealed and the hidden
00:13:16
lion there are a lot of interesting things, there is
00:13:19
simply not enough time to carry them around, but this is what
00:13:22
is directly related to that
00:13:24
purge and directly the heroes of our
00:13:27
program
00:13:28
means the intelligence network to reconnaissance for
00:13:32
management needs to be disbanded, it is better to
00:13:35
disband the whole
00:13:36
call people take a closer look at them and
00:13:39
after a thorough check some of
00:13:42
them can be used in another
00:13:44
direction in intelligence it is not clear to send
00:13:48
to other places better less but
00:13:51
proven and healthy the central
00:13:54
apparatus should consist only of its own
00:13:57
people here big we know this is a familiar
00:13:59
feeling here microsd ramil term
00:14:02
question of the Comintern who handed over to his people,
00:14:04
that is, they are definitely not foreigners,
00:14:06
are they definitely Theodore Mana, this is of course
00:14:11
interesting and look under he gave
00:14:13
such instructions, which means what he was
00:14:15
guided by, probably most likely
00:14:17
more political considerations, bar
00:14:20
quickly rip or fresh no 5 minutes of their
00:14:23
disassembly before which are useful for dinner
00:14:26
this one, yes, but these people, I don’t know
00:14:30
how Voroshilov is there, but at least the People’s Commissar of
00:14:33
Ezhov means that he began to pay
00:14:36
his attention to the world and just in case, apparently
00:14:39
there is still this sergeant’s gap, as if in
00:14:42
case of everyone, we quietly shoot and for this
00:14:47
showdown got caught like the internationalists
00:14:50
Comintern sheep like Theodor Ali who
00:14:53
worked with whom the Riga Five
00:14:56
[music]
00:14:58
molli
00:14:59
Theodor Stepanovich Soviet intelligence officer
00:15:02
state security major during the First
00:15:05
World War was mobilized into the
00:15:07
Austro-Hungarian army after being captured in
00:15:10
1918 voluntarily joined the
00:15:13
workers' and peasants' red army since
00:15:17
1921 in the state security organs, the
00:15:20
head of the London illegal
00:15:22
station is best known for his
00:15:25
joint work with Arnold and for the recruitment of the
00:15:27
Cambridge Five in 1937, he was
00:15:31
recalled to Moscow,
00:15:33
shot on September 20, 1938
00:15:39
[music]
00:15:41
and a number of other people, and
00:15:44
accordingly, Alexander
00:15:47
cannot be at all called his for the former, either a
00:15:49
priest or in general a person from the
00:15:51
other side, and that means that even
00:15:55
our hero Alexander Orlov, whom
00:15:57
they wanted to liquidate in exactly the same way, was there to
00:15:59
invite him to the passage to get
00:16:01
married there and there he already got it, but he is a
00:16:03
fairly experienced person, he realized
00:16:05
what kind of trap is this, environmentalists, if
00:16:08
I may, this is a complex document, this is an
00:16:11
ambiguous document, so I would like
00:16:14
our listeners not to get
00:16:17
the feeling that this is Stalin’s document, it’s
00:16:20
just to break everything up and kill everyone, there are
00:16:23
some other colors from the same
00:16:26
documents, look in our country
00:16:34
yes, please, it
00:16:36
is necessary to put out intelligence
00:16:39
and counterintelligence propaganda,
00:16:40
publish a counterintelligence shooting gallery, do not
00:16:43
hide it from readers in the West, the
00:16:45
bourgeoisie creates a halo around their spies,
00:16:48
in our country little is known about
00:16:50
intelligence officers, they are ashamed of their work and
00:16:53
their rank, so there is no influx of
00:16:55
new forces, it is necessary to popularize the work
00:16:58
of intelligence and counterintelligence,
00:16:59
to promote intelligence means
00:17:01
to attract talented young people,
00:17:04
girls, scientists, as a deal between the whole, a
00:17:09
whole series of officially paradoxical ones
00:17:12
about the two wounded will be then life for
00:17:15
a year will be then given this whole
00:17:17
story here this is with the help of tass this
00:17:21
complexity of that not this complexity of the situation
00:17:24
later became very and removable very much I like it is
00:17:28
necessary to drink
00:17:29
VJ volume text thoughts Dryden
00:17:33
volumetric there which bourgeois agents
00:17:36
which our intelligence officers will defeat I will tell you
00:17:38
a lot of things
00:17:39
tell me the works are described in each domain
00:17:42
question and our hero could know about this
00:17:45
instruction in principle could act even I
00:17:52
can somehow influence it is excluded
00:17:54
because These notes in the margins are what
00:17:58
they were in general
00:18:01
for an experienced person, he will quickly
00:18:05
feel them in the mood that is
00:18:07
going on, it’s all of his servants who are not
00:18:11
given personally, so look, yes, yes, clearly it is necessary
00:18:14
then the USA gets to the USA through the Soviet
00:18:17
diplomatic passport, the passport
00:18:19
ends and he goes into
00:18:22
illegal status and that’s 15 years of life, that’s how
00:18:25
he’s been for 15 years, why the war period
00:18:29
with very dubious surnames, it looks like a
00:18:32
German one, and by the way, he came under
00:18:36
surveillance and a rope was welded behind the insulator, in
00:18:40
fact, a rope was pulled due to the fact that
00:18:43
he kept some materials in the safe and
00:18:47
the means
00:18:48
helped it was in Boston and the clerk
00:18:55
probably saw that there was some kind of
00:18:58
roll of canvas with film, naturally
00:19:03
war hysteria, a German surname or dreams,
00:19:07
and for us they were successful manias, he reported to the
00:19:12
FBI why the investigation did not find
00:19:17
him on the spot since he moved
00:19:19
every in general, for several months
00:19:22
the star of even the battle until the 100th daughter later
00:19:24
.
00:19:25
unfortunately she died in California they
00:19:30
were at that time and in general
00:19:33
they were every time one step away from the FBI
00:19:38
but let’s just say I’m not ahead very much go well
00:19:42
there Valerie is deciding
00:19:44
but they still had money, that is,
00:19:47
they are like experienced people to count they knew how to spend money
00:19:51
and spent it little by little in
00:19:54
order to maintain a minimum
00:19:56
standard of living, they had enough of this money
00:20:00
almost until the fifties,
00:20:03
he did not work in this status, did not
00:20:05
earn money, apparently there was no time,
00:20:09
and this naturally was both a
00:20:14
weakness from a financial point of
00:20:17
view and a strength because it was
00:20:19
almost impossible to
00:20:21
get hold of him, that is, not in any files,
00:20:24
in any wide circles of people who
00:20:28
work with you every day, communicate with him, he
00:20:31
didn’t appear here, he really behaved
00:20:34
like a professional, stage I’ll add that he’s about
00:20:39
to hide and these are the difficulties with the floor
00:20:43
the legal position was also connected with
00:20:45
the fact that firstly they demanded some
00:20:49
special law, a presidential decree,
00:20:52
to hide all the cells before wartime so that
00:20:55
they would not be there German Nazis among the
00:20:59
enemies of some of these same ones and therefore they
00:21:01
opened everything but it was not there, how to hide it
00:21:03
there What does his 1 and 2
00:21:06
mean mobilization? He was subject to mobilization due to his
00:21:09
age and I also
00:21:11
try to leave him and he had to
00:21:14
run away all the time in this way
00:21:16
and how he managed to do this, again with the
00:21:19
help of relatives, there were some
00:21:21
semi-legal conversations with the
00:21:25
immigration authorities they said
00:21:27
that this person came from Russia, they
00:21:29
might be looking for him there for something else,
00:21:32
Yuri Nagibin will become bears about how he
00:21:35
had some kind of Russian trace
00:21:37
or Soviet trace there for me, I understood that he
00:21:41
had absolutely hands on a
00:21:42
kiss for years, the thing is that through his
00:21:44
relatives As far as I remember, he
00:21:46
went to the leadership of the
00:21:50
immigration service and explained his
00:21:54
situation privately, that he
00:21:59
was under attack, naturally,
00:22:05
Stalinist Russia was a communist
00:22:08
country, clearly in America there were those who
00:22:10
sympathized with the fact that you never know,
00:22:13
someone would come now to look for him, that is,
00:22:16
he was not reported to the database data, he was given
00:22:21
documents that allowed him
00:22:24
to be legally in the United States,
00:22:26
but they were not put through the normal procedure,
00:22:31
they saw and the exception was stopped, but
00:22:34
people acted within the framework of some kind of
00:22:35
laws, contacts with the
00:22:38
civil administration, civil
00:22:40
civil, and all the time he was working
00:22:44
on a book
00:22:45
Stalin's crime all these years, he was not
00:22:48
working and how he was working without pawning
00:22:51
he worked on the book turned out quite
00:22:54
well, but we have not yet mentioned one thing
00:22:56
about Trotsky, one of the first steps that he
00:22:59
took, he wrote a letter, he
00:23:04
wrote a letter to Trotsky with a
00:23:06
warning that there was an agent in his circle,
00:23:08
which means 1 dollar no one
00:23:12
Zborovsky whom he personally knew, yes,
00:23:15
but in Trotsky’s entourage they didn’t
00:23:18
take it seriously, why?
00:23:20
the Russian knew our hero personally, no, I
00:23:23
receive a letter from an unknown person
00:23:26
who wanted to warn him that he was
00:23:29
in danger, but for some reason, for
00:23:32
some reason, those
00:23:33
around him Trotsky somehow
00:23:35
didn’t believe it, but look, this is another
00:23:38
argument for his motivation, that is,
00:23:42
despite despite the fact that he was essentially a
00:23:46
conductor of Stalin’s policies in Spain
00:23:50
against Trotskyism
00:23:52
and, in fact, in his workplace in
00:23:55
Europe, he retained the understanding that
00:24:01
the persecution of Trotsky was, in general, a
00:24:04
political struggle and he even
00:24:07
sympathized with a person who did not
00:24:09
sympathize with the divorce of this
00:24:12
internationalism
00:24:13
back then, in those years of the 20s, he had it
00:24:17
if he had not taken such a step, this step,
00:24:19
firstly, was risky for him, and
00:24:23
secondly, it would not have made sense if he did
00:24:25
not share that position, well, here he
00:24:29
signed up
00:24:30
or not, not with his name not in his own
00:24:34
name and that’s why they somehow
00:24:36
checked there, no such thing, in general, it
00:24:38
measures this question as it should, which means if
00:24:41
they believed, maybe
00:24:42
everything would have turned out a little differently, so he wrote this
00:24:46
book, well, I know what he did during this
00:24:49
time, such a positive thing, he created this
00:24:52
book, an attack of a sheet of crime and
00:24:55
on the history of this case, the secret story of
00:24:57
redemption where he outlined let's go out and the
00:25:00
publishing name is clear, which means it
00:25:03
appeared
00:25:05
first in newspapers in leading American
00:25:08
newspapers and the first material was
00:25:10
published on
00:25:11
March 5, all 3 blessings are the day of death Stalin,
00:25:13
by such a coincidence, I was flying and got into
00:25:17
this, he was lucky twice because there
00:25:22
were 2 more dates that killed me, to be
00:25:25
honest, I forgot, I guessed hell before the 20th
00:25:29
Congress, another serious material that I
00:25:33
prepared, which went into print, exactly
00:25:37
coincided with the departure, not by the decomposition of old
00:25:41
combs, but I wrote this book right away in
00:25:43
English, what is known,
00:25:46
that is, the purpose, he described it in Japanese
00:25:49
in Russian because he didn’t have such
00:25:51
knowledge of the English language, he forgot how to learn it,
00:25:53
it wasn’t what he was looking for, the
00:25:55
translator began, there was also
00:25:58
the problem of the translator, the problems of the
00:26:00
translators, and from they refused someone
00:26:02
because it turned out that his wife showed it was
00:26:04
too expensive and then, again through
00:26:06
relatives, they went to cheaper
00:26:09
channels,
00:26:11
but he was forced to count the money, but
00:26:14
immediately looking ahead, these publications,
00:26:16
of course, provided financial support for
00:26:18
their wife just at the moment
00:26:21
when they ended it’s already the last money
00:26:24
I’m just getting at, that with the publication
00:26:26
theirs gives, his illegal
00:26:28
period ends, that is, he goes on stage and the
00:26:31
situation turns out to be his own, they say Edgar
00:26:35
Hoover led the FBI, he was overjoyed
00:26:39
with joy when he found out that for 14 years a
00:26:43
KGB general lived with him illegal
00:26:46
situation,
00:26:47
the investigation began, interrogations began,
00:26:50
and it was here that the most
00:26:53
interesting things began, he showed himself as a
00:26:55
huge professional, and
00:26:57
in these moments, than twice there were
00:27:02
interrogations by the FBI, there were no interrogations of the
00:27:05
immigration service, then when
00:27:08
Hoover, in general, left him behind for
00:27:12
lack of a result
00:27:14
[music]
00:27:18
Hoover John Edgar American
00:27:20
statesman
00:27:22
founder of the Federal Bureau of
00:27:23
Investigation who served as its
00:27:25
director from 1924 to 1972 during this
00:27:31
period there were 8 presidents in the United States he
00:27:35
developed most of the modern
00:27:36
methods of crime investigation
00:27:39
qualitatively increased the level of qualifications of
00:27:40
personnel with a high degree of probability
00:27:44
possessed compromising information on
00:27:47
prominent political figures
00:27:52
then the FBI simply did not have material on
00:27:57
which it was possible to catch him in a lie
00:27:59
or something else, but let’s imagine
00:28:04
that he experienced very serious pressure
00:28:06
during several years of interrogation
00:28:09
they had to be isolated from the family no
00:28:12
no Russian word just called called
00:28:15
soft ford about 1 in soft
00:28:18
form
00:28:20
this is not a soft form of a wheel pipe wall
00:28:24
for there is nothing to do with him how much that’s
00:28:28
because he writes he was left with an absolutely
00:28:32
terrible impression from the FBI because
00:28:35
instead of developing it in some way
00:28:38
and he showed his
00:28:40
political position completely, with the
00:28:42
revelations they began to simply put pressure on him,
00:28:44
yes, but not of course it
00:28:47
showed very great strength in this regard, you suddenly
00:28:49
lost his memory, the badge very
00:28:53
competently diverted the conversations right away to
00:28:55
the dead, but that’s all that was there,
00:28:58
they killed starting with Trotsky and so on and so on
00:29:00
then everyone who was shot,
00:29:02
he told everything in great detail about some things, as
00:29:05
soon as something so lively started, I,
00:29:08
and then his memory failed him, why
00:29:11
it all lasted for a very long time and was very
00:29:13
cool, even the legend of his inner
00:29:15
God moments will be good, you
00:29:18
know he was associated with the arrest of our
00:29:22
famous illegal immigrant Abel
00:29:26
[music]
00:29:28
Abel Rudolf Ivanovich
00:29:30
Soviet intelligence officer illegal colonel
00:29:33
having received Soviet citizenship in the
00:29:35
twenties worked as a translator in the
00:29:37
executive committee of the Comintern served in the
00:29:40
army where he received a specialty and
00:29:42
radio operator
00:29:43
having joined the foreign department of the
00:29:45
OGPU worked in the thirties along the line
00:29:48
illegal intelligence and radio operator of
00:29:50
stations in Norway and Great Britain
00:29:52
after the escape of Alexander Orlov was
00:29:55
recalled from 1948 worked for the USA in 1957
00:30:02
was arrested for seven exchanges
00:30:08
he contacted them said ha this
00:30:11
know they drew before this when
00:30:14
you found out already arrested I this
00:30:15
man seems to be a video in the corridors
00:30:17
dragging the Lubyanka confirmed the
00:30:20
girl how great how great, but he did
00:30:23
not say that Abel was a
00:30:25
cryptographer and radio operator in the thirties,
00:30:29
he worked in England under his
00:30:31
direct supervision,
00:30:33
that is, there is no trace, that is, on the one
00:30:36
hand, he moved out and the most important thing is
00:30:38
that he knew from - for real, yes, in this
00:30:42
letter from Yezhov, this is what he
00:30:44
had, what assets the dow took with him,
00:30:47
so he knew, but Cambridge up to the top five,
00:30:49
the Cambridge five, not only that, we
00:30:53
know, for example, that Arnoldovich, who
00:30:56
recruited the top five, he had 17
00:30:58
recruited agents 17 one thing and
00:31:02
Orlov knew all this, this once means it was
00:31:06
only from Arnold alone 4 he knew the whole
00:31:08
apparatus, which means he knew everything that was in
00:31:11
France,
00:31:12
he knew everything from the Red Chapel
00:31:16
[music]
00:31:19
Red Chapel is the general name
00:31:22
assigned by the Gestapo to independent
00:31:24
groups of the anti-Nazi
00:31:26
resistance movement and intelligence networks
00:31:29
that contacted the USSR and
00:31:31
operated in European countries
00:31:33
during the Second World War, the composition of the groups
00:31:36
was international, with the exception of
00:31:38
Germany, it consisted of anti-fascists
00:31:41
of various political orientations and
00:31:43
workers of the commentary district
00:31:45
[applause]
00:31:49
and there, I understand, there were a lot of awards
00:31:52
because he was led by his assistant
00:31:55
deputy
00:31:56
Alexander Korotkov is also a famous
00:31:58
intelligence officer and through him he knew all
00:32:01
this, in fact, he knew everything, both
00:32:04
legal and illegal operations in
00:32:07
leading European countries in the 30s,
00:32:12
he knew all this or knew enough
00:32:17
to deduce blindly where he did not
00:32:19
know exactly so that means a book has been published,
00:32:22
and he somehow plays
00:32:25
the role of a consultant in US counterintelligence until he
00:32:31
understands that, in general, he didn’t do anything that
00:32:36
could somehow worsen the situation of the
00:32:39
Soviet Union, and now
00:32:42
we can immediately move on to the example of
00:32:46
what it is natural for him to do later after the 50s they
00:32:49
began to search in order to find out
00:32:54
what exactly happened there and what
00:32:57
he said and what he didn’t say because they
00:33:00
began to receive material from the hearings in
00:33:03
Congress and naturally it was not a question of
00:33:08
idle curiosity,
00:33:10
they needed to know him to look for mine
00:33:14
even not only 69 fifty-nine, the
00:33:17
best search engine, Mikhail K
00:33:20
Feoktistov, and it’s interesting when they
00:33:24
already met the eagle, he’s basking, that
00:33:26
our people are burning everywhere with pride, how you
00:33:28
found me, only our intelligence can
00:33:30
know our Russia,
00:33:32
but what is known was whether the task of
00:33:36
eliminating Orlov was then or
00:33:39
really they wanted to find out his
00:33:40
circumstances, but the task of eliminating him
00:33:43
could no longer be small because the KGB of the USSR in the
00:33:48
sixties, the
00:33:49
KGB of the USSR or the MGB then in the 50s were,
00:33:55
of course, two different organizations in terms of task and ideology,
00:33:59
and here I think the task of
00:34:05
finding out is always worth it because to
00:34:08
hand over the truth and In
00:34:11
general, there were so many people at the junction of the operation
00:34:13
that it was necessary to find out and they found out
00:34:17
in the end after a meeting in sixty-
00:34:19
nine, which was
00:34:22
completely unexpected for him, he was afraid of a
00:34:24
provocation
00:34:25
that the FBI would send someone and only the
00:34:30
second meeting 7 before he moved only the
00:34:34
second meeting in the seventy-first year
00:34:36
when he could calmly
00:34:38
find out they found people whom the
00:34:45
Americans in no case could have
00:34:47
known these stories further with
00:34:50
relatives with everything else and he was
00:34:52
convinced that this worker turns out to
00:34:55
have been in the same places in Ukraine, is there
00:34:59
Belarus? - the name of the village and
00:35:02
he ran and ran past the well like a crane and
00:35:05
he found out that the Americans simply couldn’t
00:35:07
know this coincidence, it’s not a
00:35:10
setup, that is, he arranged everything to be checked
00:35:14
there by an agent who came out
00:35:16
with him, of course this was the main
00:35:18
danger, then the paste is all that’s it these
00:35:22
problems with identification were overcome,
00:35:26
they talked for 5 hours, in general,
00:35:29
he told in sufficient detail about
00:35:32
what happened between 38 and my 71 years old,
00:35:36
which is interesting, this is confirmed by
00:35:39
archival data from the FBI and the KGB of the USSR of the first
00:35:44
main directorate, and there and there is a
00:35:46
report to find yours too there is no man, the FBI
00:35:51
report was written by
00:35:52
Orlov and, accordingly, Feoktistov
00:35:56
wrote a report, as it were, by the USSR about the
00:35:59
same 5-hour e yu
00:36:01
and when you look at what
00:36:03
Orlov wrote, it means, well, in short, since it
00:36:07
was necessary to write so that the excuse is what is being
00:36:09
said, what exactly is it we wrote
00:36:12
the feoktists you are raising that is, they were already
00:36:14
conspiratorially
00:36:16
deceiving the FBI together and there
00:36:20
were several very warm moments when 10 at the
00:36:22
end they parted quite amicably
00:36:24
he was given an official
00:36:27
invitation to return to the Soviet Union for a
00:36:33
general's job to carry a pension of 300 rubles, a
00:36:36
two-room apartment and a full guarantee
00:36:39
that there would be nothing against it, he said, he
00:36:41
thanked, he said, yes, thank you very much,
00:36:44
but I’m probably no longer strange that he
00:36:46
was at a very respectable age, it’s
00:36:49
not long before his death,
00:36:50
here we have a lot of connections due to a number of
00:36:53
circumstances, I myself will stay here,
00:36:56
my daughter’s grave was brought to my daughter, yes, that’s why
00:37:01
the ending was just like
00:37:03
that, it was very touching, and at the
00:37:07
end they were already playing the same dudu dudeli,
00:37:09
which is said, after the first meeting,
00:37:14
when it was sixty-nine, there was a
00:37:17
very sharp reaction from Maria,
00:37:19
his wife, once she was waving a revolver,
00:37:22
they came to kill you, who are you so
00:37:25
young the man there in your hands you pick up
00:37:29
all that means and yet when the
00:37:32
opera worker came out on the stairs he was
00:37:35
caught up with Orlovsky a young chick tell him
00:37:37
that I didn’t betray anyone I didn’t
00:37:39
tell anything even before the first meeting
00:37:41
he was already given the same cover before
00:37:44
dinner she calmed down that means that’s all, but for now the
00:37:47
lari horizon is to be carried and it
00:37:50
has been revealed to the end, well, this is the story,
00:37:54
but still about this book on a manual on
00:37:58
intelligence activities in
00:37:59
partisan warfare, what is this
00:38:01
book, also a practical guide
00:38:03
for whom, why, well, it’s clear with Stalin, yes
00:38:07
it is he has some kind of political score
00:38:10
to settle and but it was important to him, as far as
00:38:13
I understand,
00:38:15
during the
00:38:17
period of his career in the center so that the
00:38:21
period of the early thirties
00:38:24
or the end of the twenties when he
00:38:28
was more or less stable in Moscow, he
00:38:32
taught, he was also a counterintelligence officer
00:38:37
the beginning of his career the main 6 we cut off the
00:38:40
enemy to say yes, and they can, from the
00:38:43
experience of the civil war, from the experience of his
00:38:46
operational work, he was already writing
00:38:50
for the center for training
00:38:53
[music]
00:38:55
counterintelligence officers, he wrote a manual, that
00:38:58
is, most likely
00:39:00
the idea in this manual they are universal
00:39:04
counterintelligence is universal they formed the
00:39:08
basis of that
00:39:10
document of the question for whom this was an
00:39:15
American publication, however, he
00:39:16
was counting on it or he just wanted his
00:39:19
experience somehow we will be told
00:39:20
safe enough and for the gathered and
00:39:22
anal pride is the professional
00:39:25
pride of a person who knows how it
00:39:28
works and wanted to share his experience,
00:39:33
I will once again repeat the experience of the generalist,
00:39:36
that is, it does not depend on the strange one,
00:39:40
or is it a systematic
00:39:44
manual on organizing a
00:39:48
counterintelligence guerrilla,
00:39:51
and the desk on the capture of women's work, taking into
00:39:54
account the Spanish experience, the colossal
00:39:57
coloring is this and I agree here
00:40:00
completely, but they say that every person
00:40:02
in his life he can write at least one
00:40:04
book, that is, set out the
00:40:07
biography of his fathers, what was there, he got
00:40:10
two opportunities, the first
00:40:12
political, as if this is all according to
00:40:15
Stalin, and the second is purely purely
00:40:17
professional and why don’t they
00:40:19
do anything like that there was nothing there
00:40:24
he actually had lectures, by the
00:40:27
way, nothing was preserved, so they
00:40:28
found these lectures that he gave at
00:40:30
courses for intelligence officers in the late 20s and early
00:40:34
30s to
00:40:35
his students, not as educational
00:40:39
knowledge, and there is nothing surprising here
00:40:42
because we see all the traces
00:40:43
it’s blurry, remember how we did when
00:40:46
one of the actors found himself
00:40:48
abroad in the 70s, he was erased
00:40:50
instantly from the credits or the film they
00:40:52
showed his participation there, Saveliy
00:40:55
Kramarov somewhere where
00:40:57
he is, well, who knows, here it’s the same material,
00:41:03
that is, it lies in folders not top
00:41:06
secret it lies somewhere in folders for
00:41:09
official use
00:41:11
periodically these folders are taken somewhere
00:41:13
waiting for
00:41:15
Vanya, that is, it’s not just not forever one way
00:41:17
or another, he buried it in himself until he
00:41:19
rethought it, published it in the United
00:41:23
States that he wrote nothing in general,
00:41:25
I know
00:41:26
the mail for myself, some diaries and
00:41:29
notes,
00:41:30
the history of the brand, I’ll keep silent for now,
00:41:34
I think the figure itself is Orlova
00:41:39
Anna for a lesson, she is a lesson in time for a lesson for a
00:41:46
person in general, she is so
00:41:49
multifaceted, multifaceted, there are
00:41:54
questions there, and absolutely pride
00:41:58
for the country and for what was done and then
00:42:02
you are tears and blood and everything else, that is, there is
00:42:06
300 gardens of lust around one person and which is a very
00:42:09
unusual turning point, this gives a very
00:42:12
unusual collision as there will be
00:42:14
unconventional themes in which this is what I
00:42:18
would like to say on In this regard, the fact is
00:42:21
that
00:42:23
intelligence work itself,
00:42:26
it carries within itself a contradiction and a
00:42:30
tragedy, a contradiction because it is
00:42:34
done as he perceived it for
00:42:37
good purposes, but it is done naturally by those
00:42:41
methods that
00:42:44
are at least according to the laws of those countries in which
00:42:50
he works criminally
00:42:53
and, moreover, even if not according to the laws of those
00:42:58
countries, he used people for his own purposes,
00:43:04
naturally, and here this contradiction
00:43:07
between the goal and methods which,
00:43:12
especially during Stalin’s times, was very often
00:43:15
tragic, he took it all upon
00:43:18
himself. how did Philby take it upon himself,
00:43:21
that is, he was the link between the
00:43:24
goal and the methods, and then when the method
00:43:27
I understood could not be accepted by him as hers as
00:43:35
his own, he took it upon himself, but he took
00:43:38
responsibility and I care less about her for the
00:43:40
people fence, yes, he subjected the cop to this
00:43:43
absolutely absolutely correctly, that is, he
00:43:47
was essentially, well, how can I even
00:43:53
express this, essentially was the last
00:43:57
authority in this chain from good
00:44:03
to result in a situation where the
00:44:07
last authority was not supposed,
00:44:09
probably yes, technically, I mean
00:44:12
when this the last resort could be a
00:44:15
tragedy for many people, that is, to live
00:44:19
understanding that yes, you are working for a good
00:44:23
goal in which you believe, but
00:44:25
that your work still brings tragedy
00:44:29
not only to yourself and his family,
00:44:33
but this was a tragedy of the family, of course, a
00:44:36
tragedy to other people, yes, they are enemies
00:44:39
and sometimes they are not enemies, sometimes they are just those
00:44:42
people who find themselves on the path
00:44:44
and nothing can be done here, either you do
00:44:47
n’t do this or you take
00:44:50
on this burden of
00:44:53
responsibility between the purpose of the methods
00:44:56
so yes, I would also add
00:45:00
look below to create what happened
00:45:03
if If it weren’t for him to carry around, there wouldn’t have
00:45:06
been the Cambridge Five, who
00:45:08
made such a colossal contribution, only
00:45:10
she alone
00:45:12
means that this book describes that
00:45:14
he had very sensible thoughts about
00:45:17
creating a security system in Spain,
00:45:21
if they had listened to this matter there, in
00:45:24
general, something
00:45:26
else It’s not clear what the civil war would have been like, it would have
00:45:28
ended in a very serious sky,
00:45:31
it’s described in this study, so they did
00:45:34
n’t finish it either, but it’s not his
00:45:37
fault anymore, that is, there were very such things, but
00:45:40
join in
00:45:41
then after all, we’ll tell you a few words about this book
00:45:43
1 to 1 layer these yes here I am so
00:45:46
that our TV viewers have the opportunity
00:45:48
to turn to a reliable source themselves, I think
00:45:51
it was internado quite a long time ago in the
00:45:54
mid-90s,
00:45:55
which means this is a completely unique publication,
00:45:58
and it’s even more close to me that I knew very well from
00:46:01
one of our Russian author Oleg
00:46:03
Tsarev the person
00:46:06
he worked with This means that in the last years of
00:46:10
his operational activity he worked in the
00:46:12
press bureau of foreign intelligence and was
00:46:15
working on archives, and then the
00:46:18
then head of intelligence,
00:46:21
Leonid Shebarshin, called him and gave a completely
00:46:24
unusual instruction to bring up
00:46:26
my materials about Orlov for the first time because
00:46:30
he was a person who was not allowed
00:46:33
talk at all,
00:46:34
but the visibility of the towers, he understood that this was
00:46:36
such an important person, he gave the gardener a
00:46:39
task and then they jointly decided that it was
00:46:42
best to do this with the author on the
00:46:45
other hand, on the other hand,
00:46:48
John Castello came up with such a story, which means and
00:46:51
agreed that he would work, that
00:46:53
is, this would provide access archives of the FBI and
00:46:56
CIA on the one hand on the other side of the
00:46:58
speech it was when it was possible for me to let
00:47:01
Vanga clean the wires, they both complied with that
00:47:05
is, there were some naturally
00:47:07
certain prohibitions, but a very
00:47:09
good creative couple developed that made
00:47:12
this all possible and in fact in
00:47:15
this book about you argument, we are now
00:47:17
talking about it and
00:47:20
studying in the future here is the phil biome as
00:47:22
I call the Cambridge Five and
00:47:25
these other questions I am constantly
00:47:27
faced with the fact that this is the primary source we
00:47:29
will show yes this is the primary source to which
00:47:33
dozens of other publications refer
00:47:36
and why yes according to that the simple reason that
00:47:39
this was created in the archives and when you
00:47:42
look at these footnotes there is a house there
00:47:44
jumping Burgess page such and such there such and
00:47:47
such is kept there in a personal file, that
00:47:50
is, this is a completely unique case, I
00:47:53
will say that there were cases in the history of intelligence
00:47:55
when
00:47:57
outsiders were allowed in in particular, a famous
00:47:59
writer and publicist and the date
00:48:02
were allowed to work there, but their
00:48:06
work may have been of less
00:48:07
quality for the reason that they were not
00:48:09
intelligence officers, a
00:48:11
professional intelligence officer worked here and he knew
00:48:13
where to go, and I’ll tell you that this is the case,
00:48:16
of course, I myself saw these terrible ones
00:48:19
these 6 hundred page volumes from tissue
00:48:23
paper from my safe were
00:48:25
lying there for a while, it’s still you’re risking
00:48:27
a fiver, I looked at it in trepidation, then I
00:48:29
quickly got tired; in general, it’s very difficult to take it all
00:48:31
apart and read it, that is,
00:48:34
it’s a gigantic work and we have to
00:48:36
to say thank you to this author, I hope that
00:48:39
I proceed from the fact that John Castello
00:48:41
carried out the same extensive work on the Western
00:48:43
side, and so they created such a
00:48:46
detailed book, which for the first time serves as a
00:48:49
source for several
00:48:51
decades, I’m
00:48:53
forced to somehow
00:48:58
not finish our conversation, but I hope suspend the
00:49:02
edges, limit them in time but not in
00:49:05
meaning, because the story of Alexander
00:49:07
Orlov turns out to be so voluminous, so
00:49:10
complete and such a strong lesson
00:49:13
that, even in general, it doesn’t have, it
00:49:15
seems to me there is some kind of final
00:49:17
solution, here’s the lesson and we all don’t have it there is
00:49:20
this story, we need to refer to it, we need to
00:49:21
re-read it here and remember there, maybe
00:49:25
something is very important for our
00:49:27
being in this story,
00:49:29
thank you very much for this conversation,
00:49:31
studio store ada were Mikhail Bogdanov
00:49:33
Andrey Bezrukov we talked about
00:49:36
Alexander Orlov
00:49:37
it was a program from a triad of everything
00:49:40
good [music]
00:49:46
here
00:49:56
he is [music]

Description:

365 дней ТВ представляет | Историада | Выпуск № 38 Невозвращенец Александр Орлов: чужой среди своих, но не свой среди чужих Подписывайтесь на канал https://www.youtube.com/user/365DAYonTV?sub_confirmation=1 Александр Орлов и по сей день остаётся самым высокопоставленным офицером советской разведки, когда-либо ушедшим на Запад. Однако его бывшие коллеги предпочитали называть его не предателем, и даже не перебежчиком, а невозвращенцем. Действительно, судьба этого «перебежчика» сильно озадачила и офицеров американской контрразведки: прибыв в Нью-Йорк по советскому дипломатическому паспорту в 1938 году, Орлов затем 15 лет нелегально проживал в США под именем Игоря Константиновича Берга. А в контакт с ЦРУ он вступил только в 1952 году. А хотя в дальнейшем он стал авторитетным консультантом контрразведывательной службы США, его новые коллеги давали ему весьма своеобразную характеристику. Вот признание одного из офицеров ЦРУ, хорошо знавшего Орлова: «Он остался профессионалом до конца своих дней. Он раскрывал только то, что хотел раскрыть, и, как правило, в ответ на наши факты приводил собственные». Итак, Александр Орлов, разведчик-профессионал, который став чужим для своих, не стал своим для чужих. В студии Историады – исполнительный директор Фонда памяти Кима Филби Михаил Богданов и доцент МГИМО Андрей Безруков.
