Igor Gouzenko was a Soviet cipher clerk who defected to Canada in 1945, bringing with him documents that revealed a Soviet espionage network operating in the West. His revelations exposed the extent of Soviet spying, fueling fears of communist infiltration during the Cold War. As a result, Gouzenko's defection is often credited with sparking a significant shift in Western perceptions of the Soviet Union, leading to heightened tensions and the onset of anti-communist sentiment in several countries. His actions ultimately played a key role in shaping intelligence and security policies during the early Cold War era.
