Overview

Walter G. Krivitsky, the master spy, was the first and one of the key defectors to warn the West early on about the Stalin regime. Krivitsky provided the British with clues that would have unmasked the Philby Spy Group, but was found out by Anthony Blunt, who warned Moscow. One month later Krivitsky was found dead in Washington, D.C.
