No. 428 MAJ[v]
1 June 1944
Notes: [a] As given, but almost certainly an error for 2341.
MOSCOW’s internal serial number 2537 was originated
on 12th June 1944; moreover MOSCOW’s internal serial
no. 2334 was originated on 30th May 1944 and no. 2389
on 2nd June 1944. Note that this is from the series
used by VIKTOR, and is not one of PETROV’s numbers,
suggesting that PETROV countersigned the message.
[b] Inserted by translator.
Comments:
[i] ZARE: Elena Konstantinovna GORBUNOVA.
[ii] FABRIKA: Amtorg Trading Corporation.
[iii] Allksej D. KRUTIKOV, Deputy People’s Commissar for
Foreign Trade.
[iv] MAGAZIN: Soviet Purchasing Commission.
[v] MAJ: i.e. MAY, Stepan APRESYaN.
