Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated UK double agent George Blake who worked for
the Soviet Union and the KGB with his 90th birthday.

Blake has lived in Russia since his escape from the British prison in 1966.
During more than a decade of his work for the British Secret Intelligence Service, Blake passed a lot of
secrets to the KGB that helped the Soviets unmask a number of UK agents and foil many British plans.
One of the biggest operations he foiled was a Western plan to build a tunnel under East Berlin to
eavesdrop on Soviet communications.
In 1961, Blake was exposed by a Polish defector and jailed for 42 years in prison for espionage. He
escaped from Wormwood Scrubs prison in London five years later and fled to East Germany and then
to Russia.
