Talking of really infamous spies, sleepers, moles and even the fictional Smiley, Bond and Bourne, one day Donald J Trump will eclipse them all. Why? Credible revelations from seven former KGB/FSB officers about Donald J Trump being a KGB agent or asset (codenamed Krasnov) since the 1970s were published recently on TheBurlingtonFiles website at https://theburlingtonfiles.org/news_2025.03.16.php.

The following KGB/FSB officers and defectors have disclosed (at great personal risk) that Donald Trump was a KGB/FSB agent or asset decades before he first became President of the USA: Yuri Shvets (KGB Major); Oleg Kalugin (KGB General); Alexander Litvinenko (assassinated FSB Officer); Viktor Suvorov (GRU Officer); Boris Karpichkov (KGB Major); Sergei Tretyakov (SVR Officer); and Alnur Mussayev (Kazakhstan’s KNB (National Security Committee) Chief). Perhaps things would have been different if Trump had read the enigmatic fact based spy thriller Beyond Enkription in TheBurlingtonFiles.

As the biographer of Edith Tudor-Hart I am quite shocked to read that Mr. Richards believes Edith “has now faded into obscurity”. He writes this right after a magnificent show ended at the Tate Britain, no less, which lasted fort several months? I also wonder why Mr. Richards does not mention Duncan Forbes’ amazing research and wonderful book ‘In the Shadow of Tyranny’, why he doesn’t mention my book on Edith published in Germany and France, does not mention my documentary film ‘Tracking Edith’ which was widely seen in the UK in 2017/18 and widely reviewed in the press, in The Guardian among others? But worst of all is portraying Edith as a kind of fraud who in some way staged or perhaps even faked her photographs. That assessment by Mr. Richards borders on the scandalous.

It appears historically ironic (at least to me) that Edith planned a book titled “Rich Man, Poor Man” when John Le Carré some 40 years later wrote the novel “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” (later a major BBC-tv serial) with the spy (Bill Haydon) by and large modelled on Kim Philby, Edith’s recruit! Le Carré used the nursery rhyme as a code for the five suspects “Control” is after.

Thank you GA. I love her social commentary. She was a very brave woman.

Edith Tudor-Hart did die a lonely death, but her work is receiving significant attention and respect now. Two years ago I was able to see an excellent documentary about her life and work, entitled ‘Tracking Edith,’ which was shown at a Regent Street cinema; and last September there was a Victoria & Albert Museum large gallery room exhibition devoted to her photography equally along with that of her brother, Wolfgang Suschitzky. Her Wikipedia entry seems a fair brief summary, and I appreciate the Gentle Author publicising what sounds like a most interesting exhibition at Four Corners, which I look forward to attending with a friend who is a member of the Tudor-Hart family and is the person who ‘introduced’ me to Edith’s life history.

When she married Alexander Tudor-Hart, she became the step-mother of Julian Tudor-Hart. He was a GP in Glyncorrwg and Communist Parliamentary candidate for Aberavon, my home town. His obituary- https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/jul/12/julian-tudor-hart-obituary is well worth a read.

So tempting to dismiss her as merely politically naive, but ‘No Home No Dole’ and ‘Total Darkness’ show graphically how far short our own system fell, to the point at which even a monster like Stalin might have seemed to offer a viable alternative.

Very good to see these fine photos again and I hope to get to the exhibition at Four Corners. There is a photograph you have featured showing Tony and Libby Hall’s reflections in a mirror with a price tag painted on it in Cheshire Street, and I wondered if this was a conscious homage to Edith Tudor-Hart. I suppose the unknown man in Edith’s picture is not her brother Wolfgang?
