R. H. Bruce Lockhart
Sir Robert Hamilton Bruce Lockhart,
KCMG (2 September 1887 – 27 February 1970) was a British diplomat, journalist, author, and
secret agent. His 1932 book ''Memoirs of a British Agent'' became an international bestseller by telling of his experiences in Russia in 1918 following the
Bolshevik Revolution. He left the country after he was accused of having led a failed plot to assassinate
Vladimir Lenin, the so-called
Ambassadors' plot, a charge which he always denied. Later research suggests that the "Lockhart Plot" was a
sting operation orchestrated by
Felix Dzerzhinsky with the goal of discrediting the British and French governments.
