How the son of a British communist became a leading Washington
conservative

She fled first Britain, then Russia, her son making his home in the US
capital. But the journey of the Utley family, writes Francis Beckett,
went much further than that: it crossed the political extremes of the

Jon Utley is a wealthy American businessman, a pillar of Washington
society and of the Republican party. He lives in a splendid penthouse
apartment in Georgetown, with a huge roof garden and a swimming pool,
where he and his wife host some of Washington's most glittering
political parties. He believes the Republican party has lurched to the
left under George W Bush, and needs to be reclaimed for true
conservatism.
An apartment on K Street, where the most influential lobbyists live and
work, is a very long way from the cramped Moscow flat where Utley was
born 71 years ago; but what happened in that flat is what made Utley
the rightwing ideologue he is today. When he was two years old, the KGB
came in the small hours and took his father away. For the next two
weeks, the little boy rummaged round the flat, looking behind every
piece of furniture for him.
