When British-born John Stanley was living in Britain, he was fully sympathetic to the Communist Party and the Soviet Union. Although Stanley was a government official in the British government, he was leaning toward the Soviet Union and was already recruited by the KGB in the mid-1930s. During Stanley's period in his work with the Soviet Union, he succeeded in transferring the secrets of the nuclear bomb to the Soviet Union (Russia). Russia was then able to experience the ideal in keeping up with the West in the development of atomic weapons in a controversial manner.
