Who is George Blake?

In 1951, North Korea captured Blake, and soon, his mind was instigated with communist thoughts. According to Blake, it was the atrocities performed by the United States which compelled his mind to develop an obsession towards Marxism.

"I realized back then that such conflicts are deadly dangerous for the entire humankind and made the most important decision in my life — to cooperate with the Soviet intelligence voluntarily and for free to help protect peace in the world," said Blake in the recently issued statement.

After returning to the UK, David Blake started working as a spy for the USSR, and soon he was nabbed in 1961. He escaped miraculously from the prison in 1966, and soon he fled to Russia. At many times, Blake has called Russia his 'second motherland.'
