This original work, «Two of the Cambridge Five», was created by contemporary Russian artist Pavel Pashkin and is available for purchase online.

The diptych reflects a historical fact worthy of cinematic interpretation even today. The «Cambridge Five» is the most powerful intelligence group of the Second World War, known to us historically and through film adaptations.

Two serious English agents, who began cooperating with Soviet intelligence, explained their decision by recognizing the growing threat of fascism. Fate sent them to the USSR, to the closed city of Kuybyshev.
The idea of choosing the right path, serving one’s ideals – what influenced the remarkable fate of these two aristocrats who chose a «second life in Soviet Russia»?

The painting depicts a historic house in Samara where Donald Maclean and Guy Burgess lived, as well as the two men themselves. The hands of both spies are shown as if «on the triggers of pistols» – a symbol that these people practically changed the course of the war for Russia. The house is still preserved, inhabited, and keeps the memory of these historical figures.

This painting can be hung on the wall in your apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel, and it will become a wonderful decoration for your interior.
