Eugen Kourianov was an intelligence officer for the Soviet Union, who functioned under "diplomatic cover".[1] In 1967, when Kourianov was serving as an attache to the Soviet embassy in Ottawa, Canada, he was determined to have recruited Bower Featherstone, a mapmaker with the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Resources. Featherstone handed over some confidential maps, and had apparently agreed to serve as a courier.

RCMP testimony in a 1967 court case named Soviet attache Eugeni Kourianov as having met government mapmaker Bower Featherstone, then 28. Featherstone was sentenced to 30 months in jail, and served 10, for obtaining and retaining maps in violation of the Official Secrets Act -- the first under that law since the Gouzenko trials.
