Picture #5: This is a picture of the front page of The Globe and Mail in February 1946, when the world is finally told about Gouzenko’s defection and the fact that a spy ring has been operating in Canada for the past couple of years. The fact that this was made into a headline shows how big of a news story it truly was, and how the information that Gouzenko shared terrorized and changed the opinion of many Canadians. Although the Soviet Union attempted to mask its deceitfulness through manipulating false news, after Igor Gouzenko defected them, Canadians finally realized how cruel the Soviet Union truly was.
