Although he was known to be a Labour supporter, he sat as a crossbencher in the House of Lords. In 2009, it was revealed that Kissin's name had appeared on a MI5 list of Wilson associates who were considered suspicious because of their links with Eastern Bloc countries. Additionally, MI5 considered Kissin untrustworthy because of his use of prostitutes, and asked the Cabinet Secretary to inform Wilson that Kissin was "obviously not a man to be trusted with confidences". Kissin was related to the pianist Evgeny Kissin. (en)
