Yevgeni Vladimirovich Brik and James Douglas Finley Morrison were
central figures in what was considered one of the most important
Cold War operations in the West at the time. Their story, which
involves espionage, intelligence tradecraft, intelligence service
penetrations, double agent scenarios, and betrayal, is a piece of
Cold War intelligence history that has never been fully told.
Yevgeni Brik was a KGB deep cover illegal who had been dispatched
to Canada in 1951. He settled in Verdun, Quebec. He eventually
became the KGB Illegal Resident where he had responsibility for
running a number of agents, one of whom was working on the CF-105,
Avro Arrow. In 1953, he fell in love with a married Canadian woman
to whom he revealed his true identity. She persuaded him to turn
himself in, which resulted in his becoming a double agent, working
for Canada. He was later betrayed by a Royal Canadian Mounted
Police Officer, James Morrison, who sought money from the KGB to
pay his debts. Brik was consequently lured back to Moscow in 1955,
where he was arrested, and interrogated. Convicted of treason, a
traitor's fate awaited him, predictable, grim and final.
Incredibly, he reappeared at a British Embassy as an old man in
1992, seeking Canada's help. He was exfiltrated by a joint Canadian
/ British intelligence team which was headed by Donald Mahar. He
was debriefed by Mahar for several months when they returned to
Canada.
