The man who launched the ”COLD WAR” – The Gouzenko case
#coldwar #canada #russia #spy
The "Hot War" of World War II came to an end on September 2, 1945, with Japan's surrender. Three days later, on the evening of September 5, the Cold War—or, at least, the end of it—was declared.
A month after Japan's surrender, Igor Sergeievich Gouzenko, a junior diplomat at the Soviet Embassy in Ottawa, sought to flee to Canada with various documents he had acquired from the embassy.
He brought several documents with him, the most of which were written in Russian and proved the existence of a Soviet spy ring in Canada.
He had no clue his activities would spark a major post-war crisis.
❓Igor Sergeievich Gouzenko, who is he?
Igor Sergeievic Guzenko was born in 1919 in Rahachovo, Belarus, former USSR. During WWII, he was a cryptography officer. In 1943, he was transferred to Ottawa, where he worked in the Soviet Embassy until 1945. This work gave him access to a number of documents proving Soviet spying.
The man in question, Igor Sergeievich Guzenko, was more than a junior diplomat: he was a member of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU), the Soviet military's foreign military intelligence agency.
As part of the Soviet mission in Ottawa, his primary responsibilities included encrypting and decrypting messages for the GRU's chief in Ottawa, Colonel Nikolai Zabotin, who led a network of operatives in Canada who gathered intelligence for the Soviet Union under the guise of a Soviet military attache.
