Before defecting from Russia to the West in 1992, Mitrokhin worked for 30 years in the foreign intelligence archives of the KGB.

However, Mitrokhin spent over a decade secretly making notes & transcripts of these highly classified files which he smuggled out of the archives, which he eventually brought to the U.K. Photos.
