Result of the investigation?

[edit]

The article does not seem to mention the eventual findings of the inquiry. Did a Canadian communist spy-ring exist that was passing on state secrets to the USSR or not? Roidroid (talk) 02:05, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It did. Who were "the Ottawa 39" Gouzenko named? TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 03:23, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not only were people spying, but the documents Gouzenko provided resulted in court cases. http://www.danielnelson.ca/pdfs/GouzenkoArticle-Final%20v3.pdf: "In the end, Scott Benning, Raymond Boyer, H.S. Gerson, Gordon Lunan, Edward Mazerall, Durnford Smith, Kathleen Willsher, Emma Woikin, and Fred Rose were convicted. Eric Adams, Israel Halperin, Fred Poland, and David Shugar were acquited." That was Canada. In Britain, Gouzenko's documents led to the arrest of Alan Nunn May for espionage, which charge he pled guilty to.

The article is written, imo, by a communist apologist. Someone who knows more about this needs to expand the stub into a balanced article.Saintonge235 (talk) 05:03, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
