Notorious MI6 double agent George Blake died on Boxing Day at the age of 98
He was feted in Russia after escaping from a prison term for spying for the USSR
A newly uncovered report from 1961 said he was unreliable and very un-British
The report said it had been a mistake for MI6 to recruit Blake in the first place
We Remember: Cold War Warrior and True Pole MichaÅ Franciszek Goleniewski 31 Dec 2020 #1
The very end of 2020 saw the regurgitation in the press of quite a few notorious Soviet-era Western traitors. One of the most despicable of which was the Netherlands-born, Turkish Jewish, British turncoat and avowed communist George Blake aka George Behar aka Georgiy Ivanovich Bleyk (sheesh! talk about having an identity crisis!) who finally croaked in Russia at the age of 98.
Blake s reign of treachery is said to have resulted directly in the apprehension and deaths of hundreds anti-communist agents operating behind the Iron Curtain.
Although Blake s disgraceful name grabbed all the headlines back in the 20th century and again in the last few weeks of 2020, history shows us that there was one Polish name, one MichaÅ Franciszek Goleniewski, who heroically exposed Blake to the West and in one felling blow put an abrupt halt to his rampaging blood-soaked betrayals.

George Blake, the former British spy-turned-KGB double agent during the height of the Cold War, was buried Wednesday in Moscow, honored as a Russian national hero. The KGB mole escaped a U.K. prison in 1966 and fled to the Soviet Union.
Blake died Saturday in Moscow at the age of 98.
The Soviet Union bestowed many decorations on Blake, awarded him a pension and provided him with an apartment. He was named a KGB colonel. A Russian espionage official called him a role model.
