		At the beginning of WWII Gouzenko took intelligence training and in 1943 was appointed cipher clerk at the Soviet legation in Ottawa, where he learned that Soviet intelligence operated several spy networks in Canada.
		Gouzenko's testimony and documents impressed the commissioners, who confirmed in July 1946 that a spy ring had been operating in Canada, aimed at, among other things, the secrets of the atomic bomb.
		Gouzenko was given a new identity, and for the rest of his life he and his family had police protection.

		Gouzenko was protected by his Canadian neighbour, who got him and his family to safety, called the police and told the agents when they returned that the Gouzenkos were away.
		Gouzenko was transferred to Intelligence Headquarters in Moscow, where he observed a network of Communist spooks from all over the world.
		Gouzenko’s reply would be that he “had a duty to the millions enslaved and voiceless in Russia.” At the very least, he was an opportunist who made a better life for himself and his family, though he did not enjoy the freedom we take for granted.

	CBC News:Plaque erected to honour Soviet defector Igor Gouzenko
		OTTAWA - A bronze plaque was erected in Ottawa Thursday to commemorate the bravery of Igor Gouzenko, the Soviet embassy cipher clerk whose defection in 1945 marked the beginning of the Cold War.
		Gouzenko left the Soviet embassy on Sept. 5, 1945, with 109 secret documents that revealed a Soviet spy ring had penetrated key government departments, the Canadian military and a laboratory with access to secrets of the atomic bomb.

		Gouzenko had been working ostensibly as a military attaché in the Soviet Embassy in the Canadian capital for two years when he was informed he, his pregnant wife and their young son were to be recalled to Moscow.
		Gouzenko’s revelations led to the arrest and conviction of dozens of Soviet operatives in Canada, the U.K., and the United States, including the aforementioned Rosenbergs.
		Gouzenko had no doubt the mind-boggling infiltration and espionage conducted by the Soviets as the Second World War wound to a close was simply the preparation for a third world war, in which the Communists would topple states weakened from within.

	Soviet Defector
		When Igor Gouzenko died [in 1982], he was buried in an unmarked grave because people were afraid the Soviets or their sympathizers would deface it.
		Gouzenko's information and the secret documents he brought with him from the Soviet embassy were the first pieces of hard evidence that the Soviets were spying on their allies, Prof.
		Gouzenko disclosed the existence of Soviet "sleeper networks" -- spy rings consisting of secret agents recruited at early ages and kept in place for years until they attained positions from which to influence the policies of their native countries or steal important scientific, military or political secrets.

	CIRC - Igor Gouzenko
		The defection in September 1945 of Igor Gouzenko, a cipher clerk at the Soviet embassy in Ottawa, led to the round-up of an 18-strong spy ring.
		I, Igor Gouzenko wish to make the following statement of my own will: Having arrived in Canada two years ago, I was surprised during the first days by the complete freedom of the individual which exists in Canada but does not exists in Russia.
		Gouzenko and his family were taken from Ottawa and transported to the secret and secure Camp-X where they would remain throughout the Royal Commission Inquiry that was mandated to investigate the allegations regarding his activities.

	The Weekly Standard
		Igor Gouzenko was a code clerk in the Russian embassy in Ottawa whose decision to defect in September 1945 set off a political earthquake.
		While she has thoroughly canvassed recently opened archives about Gouzenko and the firestorm he created, Knight is not a terribly reliable guide to what the case revealed about Soviet espionage in North America or the Western response to it.
		Gouzenko was about to be recalled to Russia when, enamored of life in the West and fearful of being disciplined for security lapses, he secreted evidence of a large GRU (Soviet military intelligence) spy ring directed by his superior, Colonel Nikolai Zabotin, and sought political asylum along with his pregnant wife and young daughter.

	A secret identity finally revealed
		Igor and his pregnant wife were hidden at Camp "X" - a spy training centre near Oshawa that is slated to become a museum of clandestine operations.
		Gouzenko's revelations shocked the western world, and led to exposing the atomic spies in the U.S. and Britain: Harry Gold, Alger Hiss, Harry Dexter White, Klaus Fuchs, Alan Nunn May, Bruno Pontecarvo and, eventually, Sir Anthony Blunt.
		This Thursday, Igor and Anna's children will be at the graves of their parents, seeing for the first time the Gouzenko name openly honoured, with no concern about security.

	TorontoSun.com - Peter Worthington - Awakening to reality of a cold war
		Igor Gouzenko's 1945 defection from the Soviet embassy in Ottawa, with documents that revealed a spy ring that reached from Canada into Britain and the U.S., shocked the world and marked the official start of the Cold War that lasted until Sovietism collapsed in 1990.
		The documents Gouzenko swiped from the embassy, where he was a cipher clerk, identified a bunch of middle-management Canadians who, as Knight says, didn't really have information that meant much, other than to brand themselves as traitors willing to sell out their country -- not for money, but for misguided idealism.
		Gouzenko was uneasy about why they wanted to meet him, and feared he might be killed.

		Igor Gouzenko had had enough of spying for Russia in Canada and he requested political asylum for himself and for his family.
		Igor Gouzenko had in his possession a briefcase containing confidential documents outlining the depth of the Russian spy network active in Canada and the United States at that time.
		During the entire time that Igor Gouzenko was under protection of the Canadian Government at Camp-X, it is amazing that the Russian intelligence service, to the best of our knowledge and in spite of its level of skill and capability, had absolutely no knowledge of his whereabouts.

		A cipher officer at the Soviet embassy in Moscow in 1945, Gouzenko "escaped" with documents that revealed a massive Soviet espionage ring in Canada.
		I knew Gouzenko as well as anyone outside his family, and I'd suggest that the RCMP became a greater "nightmare" for him than he was to them.
		The RCMP seems to have been the source for some malignant rumours about Gouzenko -- that he was a drunk, that his information was unreliable, that he was useless, that he was erratic, vain.
