Petrov affair
Petrov had been a clerk with a Soviet spy organisation since 1933. In 1951 as a full agent he was sent to Australia under diplomatic cover, ironically to make sure other Soviet citizens working as spy did not defect. Whilst in Australia he befriended a man named Dr Michael Bialoguski, who worked as a part time spy for ASIO. It was always ASIO’s purpose to use Bialoguski to persuade Petrov to defect. For many months Petrov could not make up his mind. In early 1954 he made his decision when his KGB successor arrived. He met secretly with a Senior ASIO office Ron Richards who offered him 5000 pounds when he defected. Petrov also brought with him allegations of spying by Soviet agents in Australia, and also provided evidence to support his confession. Around 10 days later, before parliament rose into the mode of promoting election campaigns, Robert Menzies announced the defection to the world. By this time 2 KGB officers would be arresting Mrs Petrov to escort her back to the Soviet Union. Mrs Petrov was famously pictured being escorted by brutish Russian men in Sydney airport, where she was force to board a plane back to the Soviet Union. But in Darwin, where the plane stopped to refuel, but was offered asylum by Australian officials, where she accepted.
