NODULE X7 OSWALD IN MINSK AND THE U2 DUMP: JANUARY ...

(4) Rudolph Albert Herrmann studied in East Germany then went to the
United States in 1968. He was rolled over in 1977.
(5) Ilya Grigorevich Dzhirkvelov was a KGB officer with a history of
alcoholism. He worked in the Soviet media from 1958 to 1965. He
defected after a car accident in 1980.
(6) Vladimir Andreyevich Kuzichkin joined the KGB in 1975. He was a
senior KGB officer in Tehran, who defected to the British, in June 1982.
Vladimir Kuzichkin produced a list of Soviet agents in Iran. Many of them
were executed.
(7) Viktor Gundarev (1985).
(8) Vitaliy Yurchenko (1985). Vitaliy Yurchenko was a senior intelligence
official who defected to the West in 1985, and redefected in November
1985. Before he returned to the United States he said he had been
kidnapped, drugged and tortured by the CIA. Yurchenko provided
information to the CIA on Edward Lee Howard, a CIA officer who worked
for the KGB. Howard fled the United States after he was exposed by
Yurchenko. This indicates that Yurchenko was a bona fide defector.
Yurchenko passed the CIA's lie detector tests. Yurchenko probably redefected
after his lover refused to defect with him. [NYT 11.8.85] Just who
this lover was is unclear. The New York Times reported: "The woman in
Toronto, Svetlana Dedkov, 48 years old, fell to her death from the 27 th
floor of a 35-story apartment building in the Toronto suburb of Etobicoke.
Her husband, Boris Dedkov, worked for Stan-Canada, a Soviet machine
tool trading company in Toronto." The Canadian police stated that they
found a suicide note. Her suicide took place the morning after the defector
said he was going home. The New York Times reported: "The sources
here linked Mr. Yurchenko to a Soviet diplomat's wife in Ottawa, who they
would not identify. One official said that he heard that the Soviet Embassy
might have flown her back to Moscow on Thursday to get her out of the
way...After defecting, officials said, Yurchenko visited a woman in Canada
with whom he had been involved with while stationed at the Soviet
Embassy here from 1975 to 1980. But she sent him away, the Americans,
said." [NYT 11.6.85] The Canadian government would not confirm or deny
that Yurchenko visited Canada. What is Vitaliy Yurchenko doing in Russia
today? Where did Yurchenko release the information that Nosenko was
bona fide.
(9) Oleg Gordievskiy, 46, a Soviet Consul in London, was U.K. KGB Chief.
He defected in September, 1985. Twenty-five Soviet nationals were
expelled as a result of his collaboration with the British. Oleg Gordievskiy
joined the KGB in 1962, where he worked in Department S of First
Directorate, which concerned itself with illegals in the West. Oleg
