Stella Rimington, the first director General of the United Kingdom Protection and Contra-Pioneer Service, died at the age of 90, who started the most transparency of a company.
Rimington, who directed the domestic security agency between 1992 and 1996, was the first director to be publicly appointed, and later wrote the book “Open Secret” about his life in the previous organization.
She began to write a series of spy novels, and is believed to have encouraged the fictional spy “M” actress Judy Tench's hard but playful character in many James Bond films.
“He was surrounded by his beloved family and dogs, and was firm for his life until his last breath,” the local media quoted a family report.
When he was named Lady in 1996, Rimington, one of the largest ORS, was one of the British government.
He joined the MI5 in 1969 and worked in roles that included the opposite and anti-terrorism. Under its leadership, the MI5 has played the most important role in the United Kingdom struggle against the militants of the Republican Party, according to the profile posted on the MI5 website.
“Like the first sophisticated employer of any intelligence agency in the world, Dame Stella has broken long -term obstacles, and an example of the importance of diversity,” said Mi5 director Ken McCullum in a statement.
He led the agency to follow the most obvious approach to his work, and softened his cold post -image.
“Of course we need to be secretly useful, but does not mean that we should be a complete secret organization,” he said in a publicly spreading lecture in 1994.
“The secret is not automatically imposed. It's not an end.”
Rimington, who inspired his later literary life, opened the same speech with the British tradition of spy novels and the public's impressed services he was inspired by the public.
“This is an enthusiastic thing and led to the creation of many myths – and some dim assumptions – about our work. In this case, I have to agree with some hesitations that I propose to put a little light in this case,” he said.
“I have the feeling that fiction is more fun than reality.”
