3:15 pm
use these words, but if we had used rhetoric we were doing, if we were always telling someone, this is how it should be or this, nothing would have happened, art is higher than rhetoric, art, i repeat, it is capable of turning people’s souls over. this is a gigantic event for the country in general, i think that for so many times and no matter how many times it is shown, so many times people sit down near the tv, well, because the great will always attract, no matter what. now so many 50 years have passed, let’s return to this film. these are the same emotions again, emotions of the heart, soul, emotions of the eyes, because this meeting again. with the present,
3:16 pm
for me this film is somehow fundamental, or something, such a sentimental one, it gives something more than just about the homeland, than just about the fate of the intelligence officer, and i think that there will be a sterletz for a long time, sorry for pathos is a guiding star for us in this chaos of materialism. and selfishness. stirlitz. and i will ask you to stay.

3:43 pm
banner, it was the arc of kursk. that's all, that's what he really reveled in, the most. kim philby saw his orders only when he arrived in moscow in 1963. then, in british society, philby was literally hated upon learning that he was a soviet spy who had worked as a double agent for more than 30 years.
3:44 pm

3:49 pm
of the socialist cell in cambridge, keeping records of donations. in addition to philby, there are four other people at the core of the cell. all of them would subsequently work for the ussr. in the seventies they would be called the "cambridge five". they will become the world's most famous spy group, about which hundreds of books will be written and dozens of films will be made. they believed that they were not ... giving the interests of great britain or the united states, but they were defending peace, which was also necessary for the population of the united states, and for great britain, for other countries, like the soviet union. these are

3:52 pm
these letters there were messages from the british journalist philip knightley, who constantly asked philby for an interview. i wrote to him every year for 25 years, reminding him.

3:56 pm
of marriage with rufina, kim philby was never able to get used to care and attention. all his life he trusted no one, always took risks, lived on the edge. this was the case in 1945. the cold war began immediately after may 9, 1945. of the year. churchel and the new us president truman are literally ready to start a war against the ussr. churchill, speaking in the folton speech about the need to deal with the soviet union.

3:59 pm
is out of the ordinary. they plan to send mi-6 representatives to istanbul to talk with the soviet vice-consuls. akim's only chance to escape is to fly himself, but directly offering his candidacy is too suspicious. the dacha was on his side. philby convinced management to send him. in fact, philby really didn’t like heights and airplanes, he really didn’t like them. nevertheless, well, i had to fly. kim should go to istanbul to meet with him. who will report that one of the soviet spies is kim philby himself. luck is an important component in almost all successful intelligence operations. you cannot control luck, but you can organize your activities, when luck
4:00 pm
comes, it will be easier for you to take advantage of it. before flying to turkey, philby meets with a soviet contact. and gives him all the information about volkov. soon after, kim flies to istanbul. it was necessary to gain time. so he took the flights that flew through african routes with landings and so on, i arrived at the end of the week. in istanbul, kim is met by a british embassy employee who knows nothing about the purpose of his visit. ambassador, but there was a century, and like every decent englishman, the ambassador went on vacation, then the ambassador arrived, then the embassy could not get through to the soviet embassy, everyone asked where volkov was, volkov was not there, for several

4:02 pm
it turned out that information about soviet spies was provided by a non-existent person, most likely this was a provocation. the management accepts kim's version, but this event becomes only the first in a series of indirect evidence against philby. less than a month passes before news of a new defector arrives. this time in canada, we visited in canada there is such a figure who betrayed our strategic agents around the world, which was. the cipher clerk at the ussr embassy in otava issued hundreds of secret documents, including soviet correspondence. dentures with foreign agents from the nuclear industry. invaluable information for western

4:04 pm
apparently there was a major leak from the british embassy in washington between the dates mentioned. i found lists with current dates, looking through them, i saw the name of the head of the embassy in washington. donald mclean. comparing the dates, kim quickly realized that the information could lead to mclain, and subsequently to the rest of the five. including himself. philby

american intelligence services are preparing groups of saboteurs who, with the help of bandera , are going to be thrown into the ussr. their task is to conduct subversive activities on the territory of ukraine. bandera and him.
4:15 pm
conditionally 20 saboteurs, all names, names, as we say, addresses, names, identities, all have long been known. but it is no longer difficult to detain them. none of the saboteurs who landed in ukraine ever contacted either bandera or representatives of the british intelligence. all of them were neutralized. as a result of another failure, the intelligence services of both countries are intensifying the search for the mole. to coordinate joint work, it was decided to organize a representative office of british intelligence in the united states. it is headed by kim philby.
4:16 pm
in fact, this post was already considered as the last stage in order to later be promoted to a manager. he was on the short list of these candidates to head intelligence. kim philby moves to washington, in his spacious american apartment, kim regularly arranges a reception. by that time, philby already had a large family. his wife ilens, who has been separated for more than 10 years, has five children. the cia and fbi are frequent guests in their house. he knew everything
4:17 pm
about the cia, he had a large piece of information about the pbr, right? well, this kitchen, it’s very important, who works where, how to approach whom, yes, so to speak, who has what weaknesses, you can only dream about it. keeping in touch as a soviet agent was not as difficult as it might seem, we were working right under the nose of the fbi, i traveled from washington to a neighboring city, for example, baltimore, there i met my contact and took him to a small village, away from civilization, where we left the car approximately.
4:18 pm
philby continues to fear for the safety of his cambridge five friend donald maclane. he could be among the suspects. soon kim organizes his transfer from the usa, another member of the spy group comes to work at the british embassy in the states, and for the first days burgess lives in philby’s house. bjos turned to me with a request to stay with me until he will find a place to live. and here i made a serious
4:19 pm
mistake. according to the rules, two agents of the same network should not have common contacts. if one fails, a shadow of suspicion will fall on the other. borges could get drunk right at the reception and then take a shower in his suit. burges said: “what, i disturbed someone with this, i was hot, but it attracted attention, and unnecessary attention.” does a scout really need it? for many years, kim skillfully covered up the agents of his network. but to divert suspicion of espionage from maclane, who by that time was already working in london, i couldn't. the americans included him in a narrow list of suspects in transferring data to the ussr. it became obvious that
4:20 pm
the ring was closing around mcclane, now the list of suspects was reduced to 20-25 people, and it was decided that mcclane really needed to be saved, we had to send him to the soviet union. we urgently need to warn maclane in london. leaving the service is too suspicious. philby develops a plan: now burgess's scandalous image must work for the good. burgess he rode on in his car to some conference, in some distant state, managed to exceed the speed limit three times in one day and was fined, and then he was imprisoned for the role of a stranger american whom he picked up
4:21 pm
on the way. if you disappear, you go on a spree for a week or two in prague, you will be forgiven for that, you will definitely come back, even if you have a reputation, but if you don’t come back, then i will be under the hood. i took burgess to the train station in washington, where he boarded a train to new york and then a plane to london. i said goodbye to him at the station, saying: take him out
4:22 pm
mclane. for me this was fatal news, and of course, all the arrows were turned on me. the british press erupted into a sensation. two soviet agents, donald maclane and guy burgess, fled to moscow. the scandal was gaining momentum. philby himself was under suspicion.
4:25 pm
guybjus, as he said, this is so that it doesn’t blow in his ears, like this, he really loved this old chair, i remember he stroked, stroked, it fit, the hat he inherited from burgess, kim wore constantly, although he knew that it was for him doesn't work at all. philby missed his friend although then in 1951, burjas's escape actually exposed him. the americans, they immediately said that philbe was to blame, that he
4:26 pm
was the third person. a few days later philby was recalled from washington to london. official reason to testify in the investigation into the escape of burjas and mclane. in fact, kim himself is under suspicion. the interrogations began in this building in london in 1951. even innocent people confessed to espionage to the chief counterintelligence investigator patrick melmo. the perpetrators
4:27 pm
had no chance at all. the investigator starts with the most insidious question. as an employee of the soviet embassy in istanbul, volkov ended up in a soviet prison, because of volkov’s desire to hand over to soviet agents. i didn’t let myself be misled, i answered many questions, that’s why i should know this, and i know this, and i answered some things logically and completely, that is, when i realized that there was no evidence. i know of many cases in which the perpetrator was convicted only because of a guilty plea. there might not have been enough evidence, so if he had not confessed, he would never have been brought to trial, and the sentences in such cases, convictions were made only because of an admission of guilt, each interrogation lasts
4:28 pm
several hours, and so on day after day, week after week, the investigators’ calculation is simple, no one is able to withstand such pressure. he was directly accused of being a russian agent, but he never admitted it. during interrogations , kim is forbidden to smoke, so melmo decided, because an extra second of thought or an awkward movement could give him away, and milmo continues to bombard kim with questions. used the fact of his stuttering to gain time to decide the correct answer several si.
4:29 pm
for kim to spill the beans himself. i noticed that there was not enough evidence. if there was enough evidence, they could detain me and put me in prison for assistance. they questioned me, but they didn't have enough evidence. they interrogated me to break my spirit and force me to confess. and all i could do was gather my courage. interrogations last for several months. kim remembers his own answers so as not
4:30 pm
to get confused in the testimony, because the investigators ask the same questions in order to catch him, in the next room all this the director of mi-5, the director of mi-6 , the deputy director of mi-5, were wiretapped, they sat and listened, as dick white, the director of mi5, later wrote, he says, it was all clear to him that he was lying. yes, that is, somewhere at the very beginning they understood from his reaction, i don’t know, with a sixth sense, that he was saying something wrong, but they could not prove it. as a result of the interrogations , no charges were brought against kim philby, but he was suspended from work without pay . his passport is taken away so that he cannot leave the country. they are keeping a close eye on him, hoping that he will make contact with to his contact. these were troubled years, the matter
4:31 pm
began to directly concern me, and i had to leave my post; it was quite difficult to make a living. kim's house is besieged by journalists, in order to protect his children and his seriously ill wife eileen from them, philby moves into his mother's apartment. then he receives the first message from soviet intelligence in the years of investigation. the meeting is scheduled for late evening in a pub on the outskirts of london. you have to be doubly careful. philby is under constant surveillance. one wrong step, make excuses it won't work anymore. but the main thing is that soviet intelligence remembers about him and... supports him, soviet intelligence helped during this
4:32 pm
period, so to speak, threw him some money, because he already has five children, a wife, and he is without work, it was necessary psychologically not to break, and he also could not get out of touch, ask for anything, could not do anything. the newspaper persecution of philby continues; member of the british parliament, colonel marcus lipton openly accuses kim of treason and demands a trial. it was late fifty on the fifth, when one of the influential members of parliament, austin, the stupidest man in parliament, called my name, me as the third. the accusation from such a large figure
4:33 pm
plays into philbe’s hands. now there is an excuse to play off the insult and hold your own press conference. he's still under investigation. true, 4 years of interrogations did not lead to anything, there is still nothing on the file, nevertheless, a public event is a big risk. in november '55. this house attracted
4:34 pm
the attention of journalists from all over europe. kim held this press conference in his apartment dora's mother. the goal is to prove to the public that he is not a soviet spy, and that british intelligence falsely accused him and forced him to leave his post. you can tell when your connections with the communists stopped. the last time i spoke to communists, knowing that there was a communist in front of me, was around 1934. he did them all, well...
4:35 pm
after all, in those moments his fate was decided; what was hidden behind the external calm and smile is impossible to guess. almost 20 years later, kim philby will look at the film 17 moments of spring, and like a professional will pay attention to
4:36 pm
some components. 17th moment of spring, he looked, then laughed a lot and said: “with such an expression on his face, our intelligence officer would not have lasted a day, he instantly became one of his own, with an amazing sense of humor, that is , a very easy person to communicate with. philby taught confidence and charm to the young intelligence officers, when he moved to the ussr, such a group of young employees was organized and an agreement was reached with kim that he would organize a seminar, it all turned out impromptu, it was just the first one organized. a meeting, it was, if my memory serves me right, december 75, small groups of two, three, four people, people
4:37 pm
who knew english, they played games called role-playing, philby played, let's say, a role, he was born in india into a family of english aristocrats, his father worked for british intelligence, it was his father who gave him the name kim, in honor of the hero of roman kipling, a young british intelligence officer. and this predetermined the future of his son. kim was only six when his parents divorced. mother returned with son to england. father, st. john philby, remained in india, and later moved to the arabian peninsula, converted to islam and took the name
4:38 pm
abdullah. he was completely imbued with arab ideas. he... retired from working for british intelligence, and it is believed that by doing this he betrayed, absolutely betrayed his country. saint john philby, an english aristocrat, won the trust of king ibn saud and became his personal advisor. it was in the middle east that , after many years of separation, he met his son kim. in 1956. the dark streak in philby's life seemed to be ending, he offer to return to british intelligence, work undercover as a correspondent for the observer newspaper in the capital of lebanon, beirut, it was said that i should go to
4:39 pm
the middle east for sis under the cover of the newspaper, there was an agreement with the observer publication, many people with whom i communicated.
4:40 pm
participation in communist demonstrations in austria, the leak of information from spain to the ussr during the civil war, and most importantly, the way to british intelligence was opened to kim philby by guys, a soviet spy, it became clear.
4:41 pm
yes, she began to deny us, yes, as a community, as people, as citizens. to admit that the heroes of ukraine are stepan bendera, henchmen of the fascists, well, we would definitely never admit this, this is precisely what we rose up against. we became free from the kiev junta. they wanted only one thing, back to russia as quickly as possible, and everyone believed that it should be the way it happened in crimea. what has happened now, there is no turning back, there is nowhere to retreat further. we are not aggressive, but we will fight for our own.
4:45 pm
i was walking down the street under his balcony, if he walks empty-handed, then everything is fine, then it’s just that their meeting is clear, if he has, say, a newspaper or a book in his hands, this means an urgent escape, simply, he leaves the house, and then it turns out that the curator forgot to show his identification mark, they immediately leave. there is a dry cargo ship at the port, on this dry cargo ship a new member of the team appears, he leaves the sport and somewhere on january 23 , sixty-three, he arrives in the city of odessa. nicholas eliot was fired from...
