Flora Wovschin

Flora Don Wovschin (born 20 February 1923) was a suspected Soviet spy who later renounced her American citizenship.

She attended Barnard College with Marion Davis Berdecio and Judith Coplon, both of whom Wovschin later recruited into service for the NKVD.

[citation needed] From 9 September 1943 to 20 February 1945, she worked in the Office of War Information, then transferred to the Department of State.

Wovschin transmitted to the Soviet Union the information that the Americans had somehow become aware of NKVD internal codenames for various American institutions, including CLUB, HOUSE, BANK and CABARET, as used in the NKVD's most secret communications.

An FBI counterintelligence report on Wovschin has a hand-written note in the margin stating she may have died serving as a nurse in North Korea.
