Greenglass was recruited by the Soviets before the end of WW2. When he recruited his sister and BIL, the Rosenbergs, I don't know. Ijust drove through Ossining last weekend.

The Cambridge Five were spies from the 1930's.

Klaus Fuchs was in the middle of WW2, working on the Manhattan Project.

Theodore Hall cut his political teeth during the War.

Maybe you didn't read what I wrote. "At least since WW2 there have been very few "ideological" traitors."

The most notorious since WW2, Aldrich Ames, Robert Hanssen and Edward Howard were hardly Communists.

I did read what you wrote. All operated after WWII. Some were not caught until the 1950/60s.
The Cambridge 5, for example, started in the 1930s but weren’t uncovered until the late 1950s. The last of them to flee for the Soviet Union left in 1963. It could be argued that their greatest damage to the West occurred after WWII.

It doesn't matter when they were caught. Sir Anthony Blunt wasn't outed until the 2000's. It matters when they began their espionage.

Give me one US spy who began his/her work after war for Ideological reasons.

I read an article that talked to a neighbor. They weren’t social at all ... unfriendly in a friendly neighborhood. So I assume not.

The local news channel did a story that had a neighbor described their yard as "unkept."

I don’t think you read what you wrote.
“At least since WW2 there have been very few "ideological" traitors.”
You didn’t write “caught”. You wrote “…since WWII…”. They were spying after WWII. Some, such as the Rosenbergs and some of the others who passed on atomic secrets in the US and Britain didn’t start doing so until after WWII. While some of the Cambridge 5 were associated with communism prior to and during WWII they didn’t start spying for the Soviet Union until after WWII. Guy Burgess, as an example, didn’t start spying until post WWII, then fled to the Soviet Union in 1951 when it appeared he would be unmasked. Granted, he “wormed” his way up British foreign affairs and intelligence in the 1930s and 40s.

Okay I think we've got it.

There were very few, if any, "ideological" American or British traitors to the USSR, who began passing secrets to the Soviets after Aug 15, 1945.

When we come to an understanding, I'll pour you a shot of Zytnia, my treat, to seal the agreement. My Polish wife wouldn't make me pierogis for a year if we were to toast with a Russian brand.
