Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei rārangi - I tōna tūranga tuatahi ki Rānana, ka pōraru a Gordievsky i tana mahi i roto i te KGB, ina koa i muri i te whakaekenga a te Soviet ki Czechoslovakia
i te tau 1968. I whakamatau ia ki te tuku i tetahi karere atawhai huna ki te Politiets Efterretningstjeneste (Danish Security Intelligence Service), i huaina ko PET, engari i mutu tana mahi e toru tau ka hoki ia ki Moscow i mua i te whakapiri tika. I te wā i tae mai ai ia ki Copenhagen i te Oketopa 1972 mō tētahi wā tuarua e toru tau, ko te PET me te MI6 <unk> i whakamōhiohia e tētahi o ngā hoa o mua o Gordievsky i te whare wānanga <unk> i whakaaro ko ia he kaihoko e taea ana te whakapati. I muri mai ka whakapā atu a MI6 ki a Gordievsky, a ka tiimata tana whakahaere i a ia hei kaihoko takirua i te 1974.
