Rolf Andvord

From 1946 to 1948 he was the permanent under-secretary of state (utenriksråd) in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, from 1948 to 1958 he was the Norwegian ambassador to France and from 1958 to 1961 in Spain.

[1] During his stay in Moscow, in service as Ambassador, he became a spy for the KGB, and conveyed information about the western allie's operations.

The same writer points argued that Andvord praised Soviet society, and did, not even in retrospect, reflect on the extent of suffering and terror endured by the Russian and Ukrainian peoples under Stalin and his regime, which he served in secrecy.

[7] He mentioned in his memoirs how the authorities managed to convey to him a large shipment of Bordeaux wine, via Argentina and Siberia, in a heated wagon so as not to damage it.

[6] His most valuable contribution to Soviet intelligence would have been in the post-war years, when he served as under-secretary in the ministry of foreign affairs.
