Five brilliant Cambridge University students—Kim Philby, Guy Burgess, Donald Maclean, Anthony Blunt, and John Cairncross—were secretly recruited by the KGB in 1934 and spent 20 years infiltrating British intelligence, leaking military secrets, agent identities, and nuclear intelligence to the Soviet Union, with Burgess and Maclean fleeing to Moscow in 1951 and Philby escaping in 1963, while Blunt remained hidden as the Queen's art curator until his betrayal was revealed.

The Cambridge Five: The Spy Ring That Betrayed The West for 20 Years #crime #mystery #facts #historyHinzugefügt:
In 1934, five Cambridge [music] students made a decision that would destroy Western intelligence for decades. Kim Philby, >> [music] >> Guy Burgess, Donald Maclean, Anthony Blunt, and John Cairncross weren't just brilliant students. They were Soviet spies in the making.
>> [music] >> The KGB recruited them young, told them to blend in, build careers, wait. And they did it perfectly. Philby rose to run MI6 operations against the Soviet Union. Maclean became a top Foreign Office [music] diplomat. Blunt joined MI5 and became the Queen's art curator.
For 20 years, they fed Moscow everything. Military secrets, agent identities, nuclear intelligence, [music] millions of classified documents, countless Western operations blown, agents executed. Then in 1951, [music] Burgess and Maclean suddenly vanished, fled to Moscow just hours before arrest.
British intelligence [music] went into meltdown. Who else was compromised?
Philby survived the suspicion for 12 more [music] years, until 1963, when he too escaped to Moscow. But the biggest shock came later. Anthony Blunt, [music] trusted keeper of the Queen's art collection, had been feeding secrets to Moscow the entire time. The most devastating [music] spy ring in history, hidden in plain sight.
