In this episode of the History in Motion Podcast, we dive into the story of Kim Philby, the British intelligence officer who secretly worked for the Soviet Union. As a high-ranking MI6 agent and member of the Cambridge Five, Philby’s double life devastated Western intelligence and forever altered Cold War espionage.
Trusted as a leader in counter-Soviet operations, Philby passed vital secrets to the KGB, shielding Soviet agents and deceiving friends and colleagues alike. His shocking defection to Moscow exposed the extent of Soviet infiltration.
Join us as we explore the personal betrayals, hidden loyalties, and lasting impact of Philby’s actions in one of history’s greatest espionage scandals.
