Just finished watching "The Courier"... Waynne & Penkovsky were real heros of Cold War Era....Salute to Penkovsky, who laid his life for greater cause & saved million of lives.
Well talk about betraying his own country so that there could be world peace and sacrificing himself and taking all the accusations for himself so that a stranger from a rival nation Could go home to his wife and kids free.
Soviet Union was like a big prison, children working at tabaco for daily living, no underpants enough for citizens, but all money goes to militarization and Afghanistan war! Oleg Pencovskii is a hero like many others who were like him on American side!!!!
Penkovsky is a traitor who committed treason. World war 2 has ended just 14 years prior to Penkovsky becoming a western asset and Soviet Union was still in the recovery mode. Meanwhile, US has benefited economically from the war and sustained much lower human casualties and damages to its infrastructure than Soviet Union.
@@kirkbowyer3249 Thanks to him, soviets couldn't get nuclear missiles on Cuba. He did have a role prevention of war. Sometimes knowing what you enemy is doing can keep you from making rash decisions.
He is not a true 'American Patriot'. He wanted to avoid the launch of nuclear strikes and on the receing end happened to be USA. Penkovsky is a tru human being i would say. There are millions that are indebted to him for his actions. Thank you Col. Oleg Penkovsky for the lives you helped spare.
@DiscoverRussia he wanted to be american and he literally prevented nuclear war...giving america info on soviets ambitions and there power helped ALOT...with out penkovsky there wouldnt be a cuban missile crisis...we would be dead.
Oleg wasn't satisfied. With the way Russia was headed he served his nation. Received nothing in return he made a risky decision and went to the American side. Until he fell into his doom god bless you you are a true hero!
The answer of what happen to Oleg P. you find in the end (07,18), a typical guiltyconfessionI from the KGB officer "..got shot "?? Oleg was burned a live!
Yep, good point. Wynne was a very brave man in his own right, and was lucky not to be executed by the Soviets, instead being freed under a spy exchange deal.
Penskovsky, not only a great hero but also a saint because he did not betray Waynne and he saved our lives in and outside Russia. Those men will obtain the greatest glory and happiness in Heaven. But shame and eternal misery for those who ordered to martyrise and kill him, if they did not repent...
Penkovisky papers : I was thinking That it was. Just a mare book 15 yrs ago .. now I have discovered that it is a true life story of a great soldier oleg.
Question: there is a popular belief that any attempts to recruit Soviet citizens in that period were blocked y CIA chief of counter intelligence, Mr Angelton who believed his own source, certain Golitsyn, and eventually refused to accept any new agents. Infamous Nosenko case came down from this. So how did they bypass Angelton to recruit this guy?
My hero was killed by the lack of attention from our country, this hero should be with his family in Montana. Do your homework. He should be in in our country dead or alive. We suck
@Nguli34689 Interesting, did your Uncle know George Urban? VOA. *Think that's how you spell his name. But my "Nyet" was about the manner in which P. died.
And now the history repeats. Hope the world will have a Penkovsky- a true hero and a true man. An unknown hero till "The Courier". Sir Penkovsky, wherever you are, a deep respect!
Fidel Castro understood that Cuba survival depend heavily on the USSR .When he took power he started a ruthless repression.The insular condition of Cuba helped preserve his tyranny.
Tyvm Oleg 🥂, I wish'd that I could've met you, & that you could've breathed free air, but by the time that I was in, the EvilSovietUnion had already got you. You saved uncountable lives, you deserved a long quiet life.
@@angelgutierrez-kg5du yeah, it's still believed today that the Soviets circulated a video of him held on a stretcher and cremated alive. There are other theories like him committing suicide by gunshot to the head. Another theory is that he was executed in a Soviet camp but the more believable one was the cremation one since the Cheka had implemented that torture technique during Bolshevik times.
Penkovsky did the most damage to the Soviets and proved instrumental in the American decision making during the Cuban Missile Crisis. It is said that he even advocated to the Western intelligence the idea of smuggling a small tactical bomb and planting it in the Kremlin to decapitate the Soviet leadership.
@@Skymaster.47 however I believe the end result was a strategic win for ussr since usa then withdrew their icbm from Turkey. Although I'm pretty sure back then usa still had many other missiles somewhere else in western europe.
Here after watching The courier..Spectacular movie..(y)
YESS
Yes
Me too! Super intense movie.
Ditto!!! Brilliant movie!
Same
Just finished watching "The Courier"... Waynne & Penkovsky were real heros of Cold War Era....Salute to Penkovsky, who laid his life for greater cause & saved million of lives.
Che guevara was a sadist psychopath
@@toddmoore112 speak for yourself
@@Sauron2609 he guevara was a sadist psychopath
It's Greville Wynne, not Waynne.
With a Guevara pic on your profile?
Paradoxical
I just watched this entire vid and read every single comment and not once did notice the name Greville Wynne.
Well talk about betraying his own country so that there could be world peace and sacrificing himself and taking all the accusations for himself so that a stranger from a rival nation Could go home to his wife and kids free.
He was a fucking HERO!!
@@graffitikingdom4081he was a compromising dumb azz
A movie just came up called the courier...
He is a true hero to all.
Salute to Oleg penkovsky.
So damn tragic that we live in such an insane world that we punish people for trying to stop total annhilation of our entire planet.
Penkovsky and Wynne are the world heros.
Don't forget Gordievsky
It's why Oleg was given the Codename Hero.
I watched program on "Masterpiece Theater" many years ago called "Wynn and Penkovsky", it was remarkable. If you ever find it, it's worth a watch.
Someone people need to know about this hero's. Prevented a nuclear war.
Soviet Union was like a big prison, children working at tabaco for daily living, no underpants enough for citizens, but all money goes to militarization and Afghanistan war! Oleg Pencovskii is a hero like many others who were like him on American side!!!!

@@cptjohnbhewler1529 I just did...Was remarkable!

Thank you Col. Oleg Penkovsky for the lives you helped spare.
“The Courier” on Vudu now! This movie is based on this life of Wynn!
I will keep Oleg Penskovsky and all people who scarified themselves to save others lives in my prayers.
@DiscoverRussia he wanted to be american and he literally prevented nuclear war...giving america info on soviets ambitions and there power helped ALOT...with out penkovsky there wouldnt be a cuban missile crisis...we would be dead.
man's a legend
Oleg wasn't satisfied. With the way Russia was headed he served his nation. Received nothing in return he made a risky decision and went to the American side. Until he fell into his doom god bless you you are a true hero!
The answer of what happen to Oleg P. you find in the end (07,18), a typical guiltyconfessionI from the KGB officer "..got shot "?? Oleg was burned a live!
yes, his interrogator strongly hints at that at the end - ghastly
My uncle, an officer in USSR navy, actually knew a guy who's uncle was a crew member on a ship carrying the missiles over to cuba. Pretty cool ;)
Can u ask him to tell the truth to the world in detailed
Yep, good point. Wynne was a very brave man in his own right, and was lucky not to be executed by the Soviets, instead being freed under a spy exchange deal.
Just finished the movie THE COURIER and then looked for a documentary .
Oleg Penkowsky looks a bit like Angus Wright, who played the role of M16 agent Dickie Franks in the movie The Courier.
A hero. Just seen the movie. Great actor playing him. Its likely he did prevent nuclear war over Cuba.
7:16
By my information Penkovsky was cremated alive and it procedure was filmed for the next generation of military intelligence students.
Please explain why he provided vital nuclear military documents to the CIA and Mi6 years before missile of October in 1962
Penskovsky, not only a great hero but also a saint because he did not betray Waynne and he saved our lives in and outside Russia. Those men will obtain the greatest glory and happiness in Heaven. But shame and eternal misery for those who ordered to martyrise and kill him, if they did not repent...

WE stand on the shoulders of GIANTS. These men n women are the giants that came before us, and it is thanks to them that we live to see better days.
Uh, Ted Turner made this video. Some idiot wrote it, but thanks for the footage.
"...This is the picture of Oleg Penkovsky. A red army colonel. A great Ameican patriot".!!!!!! Great American patriot!!!!Lol
Oleg Penkovski was burned alive 😢
Question: there is a popular belief that any attempts to recruit Soviet citizens in that period were blocked y CIA chief of counter intelligence, Mr Angelton who believed his own source, certain Golitsyn, and eventually refused to accept any new agents. Infamous Nosenko case came down from this. So how did they bypass Angelton to recruit this guy?
They went thru MI-6. (Wouldn't have known if I didn't see 'The Courier'.)
How could he be an ''american patriot'' while he was a dead ahead russian ?
Because it's subjective based country of orgin
Becouse he loved american liberty, fredom and ideas :)
What have you done for your country apart from dragging it down.
It sounds cool tho, not. Americans know how to market stuff.
Great American Patriot :) hahaha
he is Russian patriot)
He is a world Patriot
@@desigyanshala618 correct
A story I am glad I came across, The Courier the facts, the journey. Amazing people, I wish you well.
Well getting shot I'd say is very merciful considering the nasty things they could've done to him.
he was tortured relentlessly beforehand.
@npaza that saves us all
The CIA guy here has wild eyes . Just sayin' .
Penkovsky's code name was 'Hero' .
Also here after watching the movie the courier. Such an interesting time in history. Any gd documentary recommendations welcome.
My hero was killed by the lack of attention from our country, this hero should be with his family in Montana. Do your homework. He should be in in our country dead or alive. We suck
why would he confess when he knew in his heart of hearts that he was right
Agent Hero. We salute your bravery.
@Nguli34689 Interesting, did your Uncle know George Urban? VOA. *Think that's how you spell his name.
But my "Nyet" was about the manner in which P. died.
the courier
@Nguli34689 No.
And now the history repeats. Hope the world will have a Penkovsky- a true hero and a true man. An unknown hero till "The Courier". Sir Penkovsky, wherever you are, a deep respect!
treason ..
He was a british agent

There were rumors of the soviets circulating a film of him bound to a stretcher being cremated alive.
Really?
