Thank you We sneak now We're talking about the dumbest

00:06

kgb spy and this is pretty interesting His name was

00:10

oleg lilan It was the nineteen sixties and he was

00:13

a part of the kgb And so they're like all

00:15

right go over the london We want you to spy

00:18

on the russian trade federation there and tell us what's

00:20

up and he's like cool I got you let's do

00:22

this And so he goes over to london and he's

00:25

in the trade federation Supposedly one of them you know

00:28

and apparently he's like tapping it up with all of

00:30

his buddies having a good time not having a good

00:33

time They decided to go to a pub and you

00:35

know have a couple of drinks or twenty who knows

00:38

So the drinking having a good time and he decides

00:41

he wants to go home first of all the y

00:44

not classy oleg not classy and so he's driving home

00:47

And you know he started swerving and while they swore

00:49

but it's like a weight my headlights aren't on either

00:52

but he wasn't the only person who noticed that Ah

00:54

police officer noticed that So he pulls him over and

00:57

so old is like okay what's gonna happen here what's

00:59

going on And so he gets out of the car

01:02

and he's clearly drunk and the police officer sees it

01:05

so he arrests him and so he puts him in

01:07

the back of the car and old legs like no

01:09

i'm not having this and so he puts his feet

01:11

on the police officers shoulders and so then police officers

01:14

like dude what do you do it like i'm just

01:16

arrested you you can't do that and gold is like

01:18

yeah i can i'm a kgb official do i could

01:21

do whatever i want your beneath me and so that

01:23

the police officers like oh really Well we'll see about

01:25

that when i take you downtown that takes him downtown

01:28

puts him in jail Luckily his buddies over at the

01:31

russian trade federation they bail him out and you're like

01:34

okay do what are you doing Like come out of

01:36

jail let let's ditch get your stuff together is basically

01:40

what's happening here But before he had a chance to

01:42

actually get his stuff together and my five swoops in

01:45

and takes him to a safe house Now if you

01:47

don't know who am i five is they're just like

01:49

the london version of the cia here in america is

01:52

a lot of acronyms but not all important just know

01:55

that they're really serious and that they're dangerous So am

01:59

i five takes him to a c gatehouse and before

02:01

he has a chance to like even do anything else

02:04

they start like cracking down on him and like asking

02:06

for information and stuff like that because they found out

02:08

that he said he was a kgb official and so

02:11

then only finally like brakes and snaps and he wants

02:14

to defect where defecting This is basically he's about to

02:17

snitch on all of his friends That's exactly what that

02:19

means So he's talking to them they're talking they're talking

02:22

they're doing more talking and then finally he's like okay

02:25

i'll give you the names of everybody but this is

02:28

what i want I want to live a normal life

02:30

here in london with my main squeeze out of the

02:33

kgb out of all of this stuff like sure but

02:36

you've got to give us names so he gives him

02:37

all of these names and it turns out there was

02:39

over like one hundred five supposed kgb officials that they

02:44

had to expel from london because only pretty much snitched

02:47

on them So the moral of the story is maybe

02:50

don't snitch on your crime buddies Maybe do i don't

02:53

know I don't know what the moralist but that's not

02:54

the point The point is olek is the dumbest kgb

02:57

official that i've ever read about I don't know about

03:00

you and so there goes your little known history fact 00:03:03.088 --> [endTime] about only lie elin
