38. Stalin’s Apostles: The Cambridge Five and the Making of the Soviet Empire

Charles Cumming

Using recently declassified files, historian Antonia Senior and espionage writer Charles Cumming uncover the chilling true story of the Cambridge Five, the brilliant young spies who betrayed Britain to Stalin after being radicalised at Cambridge in the 1930s. From Kim Philby to Anthony Blunt, these men helped shape Soviet power at enormous human cost. This gripping talk explores how the Five become tools in Stalin’s imperial scheme, how they were finally exposed, and why their legacy still echoes today — from the Cold War to the authoritarian ambitions of Vladimir Putin’s Russia.
