In conjunction with a GRU general, an academic named Krilov, and a master strategist, Philby devises “Plan Aurora” to ensure a Labour victory by exploiting the party’s support for unilateral disarmament – although it is noted that the strategist, a nuclear physicist and chess Grand Master, has come up with most of the plan’s strategy.
