Thursday December 16, 2004 12:39 by Brian Vernon
Victor Makarov once spied for Britain from the heart of the KGB, spending five years in a labour camp after he was caught. After MI6 helped him defect to this country, he hoped for a new and prosperous beginning in the nation for which he had risked his life. But the reality has been very different - living on a disability allowance and a few official handouts, he has become the spy who has been left out in the cold, embittered and poverty-stricken. Now a man who is a reminder of aspects of an era both sides hoped would be quietly forgotten, has re-emerged: a former spy who wants to claim what he believes is his due. |
