ExecutedToday.com writes about Richard Sorge, a spy whose “signal achievement was establishing, as a foreigner in a highly xenophobic Japan, a spy ring that for years penetrated the highest levels of the Japanese government and the German embassy, giving Moscow an inside look at Axis planning” – and who was executed on Nov. 7, 1944.

Why was the Stalin led regime so disrespectful
of the spy ring headed by Sorge except at the
end when sorge and co got caught by the Kempetai?
I mean also those years spent in Japan,
the years previously spent in China to build
his contacts, etc?
And its not as if Sorge and co. ever fed
the regime bogus information.
His info. was very near target on
the Nazis Operation Barbarossa , on target
concerning Japanese empire’s plans to attack
the UK Asian colonies and the USA by the
end of 1941.
Why didn’t the Russian regime admit to his work
after WW2??
Have you ever read or heart that Stalin has ever done anything right?
