First he spied for Great Britain, then for the Soviet Union – now the former agent George Blake has died at the age of 98. The Russian foreign intelligence service SWR announced on Saturday in the capital Moscow, according to the state agency Tass.

“He genuinely loved our country.” Blake admired the performance of the Soviet people in World War II, a spokesman said. He was a legendary intelligence officer.

The ex-agent, born in Rotterdam in 1922, was transferred to South Korea as a young spy for the British secret service after the Second World War.
