Among the instances of Wright’s dishonesty in fabricating or distorting evidence to fit his conspiracy theories which came to light after his retirement in 1976 were the following:

(i) Wright has quoted an incident in 1961 when the KGB Resident Korovin was said to have been watching television [news] on the evening of the day when Lonsdale and the Krogers etc were arrested – and showed no emotion [the implication being that he had been forewarned]. This is quite untrue. Korovin was having a party with his two deputies and they were not watching television or listening to the radio.

(ii) Wright ‘led’ his witnesses most unscrupulously in, for example, his interviews of the Petrovs, Elsa Bernaut99 and Blunt (in one interview he suggested to Blunt that Hollis was a spy, causing Blunt considerable anxiety for his own safety).

(iii) His tendency to select a solution, then tailor the evidence to fit it (as in his 1965 investigation of the fire at the Moscow Embassy in 1964).

(iv) His standard manoeuvre when worsted in argument of taking refuge in mystery (‘If you knew what I know’). This was a characteristic shared by Angleton in CIA. In both cases this was later shown to be a dishonest charade.100
