Directorate of the OGPU – To INO OGPU: Inquiry Report on the American zoologist – doctor at the University of Baltimore, Walter Allen Mosley, b. 1904 in England. He collects mollusks and is interested in Lake Baikal and the Mosley Altai region. Came to Leningrad at the invitation of the president of the All-Union Academy of Agriculture, the Academician Vavilov. “According to agent reports, Mosley is an imposter, does not hold the title of professor, and gives the impression of being a poorly educated man of indeterminate qualifications. It is exceedingly strange that Mosley had been taken under the wing of the Academician Vavilov, who heads the Plant Cultivation Institute and whose work has not even the slightest bearing on Mosley (the mollusk specialist).” p.51- By assignment of the Econ. Directorate of the OGPU – information about Vavilov’s contact, Oliver Edwin Baker, an economic geographer, who works in the Department of Baker Agriculture in Washington as a sr. economist. “He has a close personal relationship p.55 with the USSR’s worst enemy – Mr. Hyde (Secretary of Agriculture, Hoover’s right hand man in the Cabinet). p.58 Reply from the Econ. Directorate of the OGPU: “Your report about O. Baker is extremely interesting, as it shows the political and practical 28 July side of a highly authoritative official in the American Department of Agriculture, who 1932 supports a counterrevolutionary group of agricultural specialists and professors cultivated by us – Vavilov and Ko, who are trying to disrupt the socialist reconstruction of agriculture and subject it to America’s interests. The anti-Soviet figure of Baker, his closeness to the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Hyde and President Hoover, his connection to highly qualified, anti-Soviet professors in the USSR, and the existence of agent information describing the promotion of the American interests in the USSR in all possible ways by the Group1 which we are cultivating (stealing highly valuable seeds and sending them to America), attest to the need for a serious and in-depth cultivation of Baker and his counterrevolutionary and espionage connections with the Academician N.I. Vavilov’s group. In addition to receiving agent reports about this connection, we are setting ourselves an absolutely concrete assignment, with the approval of the Deputy Chairman of the OGPU, Cde. Akulov: receiving documents, photocopies, and personal correspondence irrefutably confirming Vavilov’s counterrevolutionary connection to American agricultural, government, and intelligence agencies. In light of this assignment (documenting Counterrevolutionary Connection between Vavilov and the Americans), the EKU OGPU asks that you brief your station at once and have them pay serious attention to the matter. Please inform the EKU OGPU (6th Department) of the results as soon as possible. Deputy Chief of the EKU OGPU Gay Head of the 6th Department Apresyan Black Notebook 3 p. 61 The station reported information about Baker’s career and confirmed the fact that he had met with Vavilov in America. p.67 Sector IV of the INO: Tasks before the station.

    46 ROSENBERG GRAND JURY WITNESSES (testimony to be released September 11, 2008) Government is not releasing testimony of William Danziger, Max Elichter, and David Greenglass The descriptions provided below are based on available evidence. Additional details will be added after the transcripts are reviewed. 1. Ruth Alscher Ruth Alscher was Max Elitcher’s sister‐in‐law. She was married to his brother, Morris Alscher. In interviews with the FBI, Max and Helene Elitcher said that Ruth Alscher attended a party in 1944 in New York with them that was attended by three individuals who the Bureau suspected were Soviet agents: Julius Rosenberg, Joel Barr and William Perl. She also attended parties at a Greenwich Village apartment that Barr and another Soviet agent, Alfred Sarant, shared. Ruth Alscher was a friend of Bernice Levin; Levin was identified as a Soviet agent by Elizabeth Bentley. Assistant U.S. Attorney John W. Foley confidentially told the FBI in 1951 that Ruth Alscher had asserted privileges under the Fifth Amendment when called to testify to the Rosenberg grand jury. At the time of the Rosenberg/Sobell trial, Morris Alscher had died, leaving Ruth Alscher with three small children. 2. Herman Bauch [no reference] 3. Soloman H. Bauch Lawyer for Pitt Machine Products; where Julius Rosenberg worked. On June 6, 1950, Julius authorized Bauch to empower Bernie Greenglass to sign company checks, telling him that the Rosenbergs were contemplating a trip. 4.

  • The Fifth User January 28

    The Fifth User January 28

    UNCLASSIFIED The Fifth User January 28 Project VENONA is now well known publicly. VENONA refers to Soviet espionage messages that were solved in part or in whole by the U.S. cryptologic services. The Soviet cryptosystem was based on a one-time pad that was misused, and therefore vulnerable to American cryptanalysts. The cryptosystem was used by the USSR’s diplomatic service and its office for acquiring lend-lease equipment from the United States during World War II. This Soviet system was in use from 1941 to 1945, but was not solved until the late 1940s, after the war, and the most usable product based on the decrypts was issued in the 1950s. In addition, the cryptosystem was used by the espionage organization best known as the KGB. When people think of VENONA decrypts, they most often mean KGB communications. However, there were other users of the flawed system. The fifth user of the cryptosystem was known in English as GRU-Naval. Its communications referred to espionage operations controlled by the Naval Intelligence headquarters in Moscow. The senior representative in the U.S. was Captain, later Commodore, I. A. Egorichev, the USSR’s naval attaché in Washington. During his career he had commanded a destroyer in the Soviet’s Baltic fleet, and had served as naval attaché in Tokyo. In addition to legal duties in his overt position, Captain Egorichev conducted intelligence activities against the United States. The GRU-Naval cryptosystem worked in the same way the KGB and GRU systems did. Message text was encoded into numbers from a codebook, then the numbers were superenciphered with numbers from a one-time pad.

  • The Rosenberg Ring Revealed Industrial-Scale Conventional and Nuclear Espionage

    The Rosenberg Ring Revealed Industrial-Scale Conventional and Nuclear Espionage

    UsThdein Rosenberg Ring Revealed The Rosenberg Ring Revealed Industrial-Scale Conventional and Nuclear Espionage ✣ Steven T. Usdin Recent leaks from the archives of the former Soviet Committee on State Security (KGB) have ªnally made it possible to assemble a nearly complete picture of Julius Rosenberg’s espionage career.1 The new informa- tion not only illuminates aspects of his career that were previously unknown; it also removes the shadows that have cloaked many of Rosenberg’s activities and those of his comrades. The image that emerges is that of a Soviet agent who was far more involved in nuclear espionage than federal prosecutors or his most persistent critics over the last 60 years could have known. The reassessment is made possible by notes that Alexander Vassiliev took in the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) archive, including many verbatim transcriptions of cables to and from Rosenberg’s Soviet handlers in New York. Although Vassiliev, a former KGB ofªcer, had permission from the Russian government to make the notes, they were not supposed to be released and are available today only because Vassiliev decided to make them public in deªance of the Russian government. The notes’ provenance and reliability are detailed by John Earl Haynes and Harvey Klehr in this issue of the Journal of Cold War Studies. The accuracy and reliability of the notes are conªrmed by a thorough review and a comparison with information about the Rosenberg ring from the Venona decrypts of World War II KGB cables released by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), from declassiªed Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) ªles, and from other sources.2 1.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Apollo British Domestic Security Policy and Communist Subversion: 1945-1964 William Styles Corpus Christi College, University of Cambridge September 2016 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy William Styles British Domestic Security Policy and Communist Subversion: 1945-1964 This thesis is concerned with an analysis of British governmental attitudes and responses to communism in the United Kingdom during the early years of the Cold War, from the election of the Attlee government in July 1945 up until the election of the Wilson government in October 1964. Until recently the topic has been difficult to assess accurately, due to the scarcity of available original source material. However, as a result of multiple declassifications of both Cabinet Office and Security Service files over the past five years it is now possible to analyse the subject in greater depth and detail than had been previously feasible. The work is predominantly concerned with four key areas: firstly, why domestic communism continued to be viewed as a significant threat by successive governments – even despite both the ideology’s relatively limited popular support amongst the general public and Whitehall’s realisation that the Communist Party of Great Britain presented little by way of a direct challenge to British political stability. Secondly, how Whitehall’s understanding of the nature and severity of the threat posed by British communism developed between the late 1940s and early ‘60s, from a problem considered mainly of importance only to civil service security practices to one which directly impacted upon the conduct of educational policy and labour relations.
