Hopkins an architect of president Franklin d. Roosevelt a new Deal and his closest personal adviser As an unwitting a agent of major significance for the soviet Union. A a Kab the inside Story a by Oleg a. Gordievsky the soviet unions spy chief in London from 1982 until his defection in 1985, also says that the a fifth Many Long sought As a soviet spy inside British intelligence was John Cairncross an undercover expert with mi6, the British foreign intelligence Agency and that Julius and Ethel Rosenberg executed at new Yorkus sing sing prison in 1953 for spying were a dedicated courageous soviet  the Book co written by a Cambridge University history professor Christopher Andrew says Gordievsky concluded that Hopkins was an unwitting agent in the sense that he encouraged Roosevelt to take positions favored by Moscow and not a knowing spy. It says Hopkins influenced the United states to accept soviet control Over Poland the Baltic states and Romania. Gordievsky who now lives under an alias in England defected from Moscow in 1985 after surmising that his cover had been blown As a double agent who had also worked for British intelligence for nearly two decades. His Book purporting to be a history of the soviet intelligence Agency since its founding on dec. 20,1917, is being published in the United states by Harper Collins publishers and in Britain by Hodder amp Stoughton later this week. Excerpts have been sold to the times of London and to time Magazine in the United states and both began publishing them last weekend. Gordievsky said he had verified Cairncross identification As the a fifth Man a working with the famous quartet of Kim Philby Guy Burgess Donald Maclean and sir Anthony Blunt from conversations with other Kab officials Over the years in Moscow and from secondary references in the files. A 1987 Book by Peter Wright a former British intelligence official said that Blunt had identified Cairncross As a spy in a confession in 1964 and that the latter immediately confessed. Cairncross never responded to the allegations. Wright speculated that the real a fifth Many was somebody else a sir Roger Hollis the former director of mi5, the British Domestic counter espionage Agency. With the cold War now dead the Public relations of espionage have come in from the cold at least to the Point where Gordievsky appears for photographers in Goatee and Mustache which he dispenses with when journalists leave cameras at Home. As presumably the Man he really is he looks More like an Ordinary soviet intellectual than a spymaster. A i liked history and historical studies a explained Gordievsky who Speaks fluent English and says he infiltrated mi5 because As the pkg by a London station chief he knew it was a a clean of spies by the time he worked Here in the Early 1980s. Hopkins As a emr. New deals in the 1930s, was a target of right Wing critics of Roosevelt a Liberal social policies. He later was an adviser to president Truman. The assertion that he unwittingly helped the soviet Union stems from a lecture that Gordievsky attended in the pkg by a Headquarters in Moscow by Iskhak a. Akhmerov who the Book says was Alger Hiss wartime Kab controller. Hiss who served in the state department was accused by Whittaker Chambers of having Given him confidential documents to transmit to the soviet Union. Hiss was convicted of perjury but denied having been a soviet spy. A Akhmerov identified the most important of All soviet wartime agents in the United states a the Book says a was Harry  a but Gordievsky concluded that Hopkins had been an unconscious Ratner than a conscious agent a the Book says. A Hopkins was an american Patriot with no admiration for either the principle or the practice of the communist  Oleg a. Gordievsky with fake Goatee Mustache
