Gordievsky died on March 4 in England, where he lived since the suspects in 1985. The police said Saturday that he did not give his death suspicion.
Certain historians look at one of the most important spies of the season. In the 1980s, his intelligence helped avoid the harmful increase in nuclear differences between USSR and West.
He was born in Moscow in 1938, Gordievsky joined the KGB in the early years of 1960, serving in Moscow, Copenhagen, and London, when he became king of the KGB stations.
He was one who made them duked in the USSR districted Soviets after Moses’ tanks in the Prague Spring Freedom in 1968, and were hired by the British MI6 in the early 1970’s.
The 1990 book KGB: Inside storyAuthorized by Gordish and British Hikaki Christopher Andrew, said Gordievsky came to believe that “party government leads to intolerance, personality and destruction.”
He has decided that the best way to fight for freedom “was to serve west.”
Worked for British intelligence for more than 10 years for a magnificent time of war.
In 1983, Gordievsky warned the UK with us that Soviet leadership was so concerned about the nuclear attack that they considered the first strike.
As the tension was ruined during the Nate military exercise in Germany, Gordievsky helped to strengthen the Moscow that it was not the preceding nuclear attack.
Shortly thereafter, US President Ronald Reagan began to reduce nuclear and Soviet Union.
In 1984, Gordievsky read Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev before his first visit to UK – and said British how to approach Gorbachachev Gorbachekev. The Gorbachev Meeting and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was very successful.

The largest Soviet Soviet spy
Gordievsky was returned to Moscow to consult in 1985, and he decided to leave even though he was – accurately – that his role as twice as a double agent was shown.
He was torn and interrogated but was not charged, and Britain planned for heavy surgery to take him to take him to the Soviet Union – he poured back to Finland on the car.
He was the highest Soviet test to complete during a cold war.
Docs requested in 2014 showed that Gordievsky wanted to cut the agreement with Moscow, Britain would not expel all the KGB agents that appeared.
Moscow refused the request, and Topanese ordered 25 Russian expulsion, despite opposition from the outside secretary Geoffrey Howe, who drew away as a circle just as a gorbachachev was light between Russia and West.
Moscow responded by expelling 25 brains, lighting the second cycle when each side was released six officials.
However, despite Hone’s fear, political relationships were never divided.
Gordievsky family was kept under 24 hours of age before he was allowed to join himself in England in 1991.
He lived all his life under the UK protection in the silent city of Galming, 64 miles southwest of London.
Death is not treated as suspicious

In 2008, Gordievsky said that the poison was removed and spent 34 hours with Coma after taking their sleeping tablets provided by the Russian business.
The accidents experienced in 2018 in the 2018 intelligence manager Sergei Skripal and his daughter were very sick and made a serious illness in Soviet nervous.
Surrey police say that the management were called to the address at Godming on Godming on March 4, where “a 86-year-old man died in the area. “
The combined police led the investigation, but “death is not currently treated as suspicion” and “no suggests any major risk of members of the public.”
