Vladimir Mikhailovich Petrov/Evdokia Alexeyevna Petrova (KV2/3439 - 3440) 1946-1955
Almost a third of the files in this release deal with the high-profile defection of Soviet agents Vladimir Petrov and his wife Evdokia to Australia in 1954. This famous Cold War incident was a turning point in Australian history and provided MI5 with the first definitive information on the whereabouts of the missing diplomats, and members of the Cambridge spy ring, Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean.
Files KV2/3439 and KV2/3440 are available to view on DocumentsOnline.
