According to LIENVOY on 4 September 1967, Valentin Sergeyevich LOGINOV (201-285412), Consul of the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City placed a call to Havana, Cuba stating that he had in Mexico a family of 5 persons that had to be sent from Cuba to Odessa by boat. LOGINOV said that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had ordered that their passage be paid to the border of the USSR. The family name was given as CHERKYSHEV. According to LOGINOV the family had been given permission to live in Groznyy in the USSR by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.2.  On 7 September 1967, LICOZY-5 reported that LOGINOV had booked passage to Cuba for a Russian emigre, Nikolay CHERNYSHEV and his family. CHERNYSEV's wife was born in Italy and his three children Igor, Nataliya and Sergey were all born in Venezuela. LOGINOV also stated to LICUZY-5 that the CHERNYSHEVs sere repatriates from Venezuela.3.

288MICROFILMEDSEP 12 1987DOC. MICRO. SER.9PTHE CONSULAR SECTION OF THE USSR EMBASSY IN MEXICO CITYThe consular section consists of three persons:Valentin Sergeyevich LOGINOV - consul (third secretary) 261-285412Vladislav Sergeyovich KORMUSHKIN - vice consul (Attache:261-744341)Vladimir Ivanovich SHPAKEVICH - vice consul (third secretary)with such a seeming-scarcity of work for the Congulate,it would be sufficient to have only one man forit. But theSoviet Embassy has to have three men handling consular duties.The Consulate is open to visitors twice a week and only twohours a day. Even that is too much for an occasional personwho desires a visa for visiting the USSR. However, in addi-tion to their regular duties, the consuls have to arrangevarious matters relating to visiting Soviet cargo vessels,artistic and cultural groups, etc. On several occasions,they had to do and errands outside of their overt field ofactivity. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why, in manyinstances, they cannot be reached on the telephone. Allthree of them speak fluent Spanish and have no difficulty ingetting around and acquiring Mexican friends. Given beloware their respective character sketches.Consul LOGINOV is a rather recent arrival (two years inMexico) and not very experienced in his job. However, he islearning the ropes quite rapidly and carries a lot of weightamong the Embassy staff. LOGINOV is the one who orders carsCS COPY

-2-to be sent for any visiting dignitary or a porformor. He, apparently, scrutinizes and approves the names of doctors and dontists patronized by the Embassy-personnol. Recently a Man on Duty said over the phors that LOGINOV had forbidden to be givon out the address of a German dontist, whom the Soviets visited quite frequently beforo.LOGINOV is also in charge of making up a duty rostor for appointing a Man on Duty who would bo rosponsible for anything that took place at the Embassy on that particular day. so one, oxcept the ambassador, seems to bo exempt from that duty. On a few occasions LOGINOV encountered hostility το hic arbitrary manner of making up the duty roster. Thus, when a Kan on Duty called Nikolay Scrgoyovich LECHOV, Press Attache and a (former?) Cultural Officer, and told him that LOGINOV put his name down as the pesponsible Man on Duty for the Embassy for that day, LEONOV said that họ was very busy and lot LOGINOV do it himself.Obviously LOGINOV had made a number of secret enemies with his dictutorial manners and his disdainful, monotonous,. and slow way of talking. His medium- to high-pitched voice sounds as if he is extremely bored with the world and aoes his inter locutor a favor just be talking το him.Fis physical appearance seems to confirm that impression A fou newspaper photos show him as a youngish ana rathor good-looking indiviqual with curly light-brom hair and with
[104-10173-10135.pdf — page 289]
a contmptuous smile on his lips. Unquestionably, his typeof charm appeals to slderly ladies and LOGIROV is quite awarethat he is attractive to the other sex. Without a doubt, hetrios to capitalize on it and with his fluent Spanish probeably tries to ensnare Mexican remales. Thereis no indica-tion that LOOTNOV has tried anything of the sort with theSoviot wives. One of the reasons may be that he would notliko his wire, Aleksanara mitriyeva, a very formidable womanIndeed, to get wind of it. On the other hand, the Mexicanwomen may seem to be more exotic and attractive to LOGINOVthan his own countrywomen, in ospecial his wife, who is alarge unattractive Female.Nevertheless, LOGINOVA seems to be quite pleasant, witha nice cultured voice, and gets along with her husband wellthanks to her good humeur and social activity. She hasbeen quite prominent in Nestkom work and in the children's.summer camp. Eft Shortly after their arrival, LOGINOV boughta tape-recorder for his wife for 115 collars. Whether itwas to be used for music, or other purposes, has not beendetermined.Once in a while, LOGIKOV goes on drunken sprees. Thus,on 12 February 1966, he and KORMUSHKIN drove us tothe Imbassy gate at three a..., pounded on the gate, blowtheir horn and had altercations with Stanislav sergeyevichSILATROV, who was en duty at that time.
[104-10173-10135.pdf — page 290]
Another very prominent trait of LOGINOV'S character is his extreme chauvinism, bordering on jingoism. In reference to other nationalities, LOGINOV use's such deprecatorý epixxx thets as: "Amerikashki", "Zhidovka", "Namehura", etc.It is doubtrul if LOGINOV has any true friends. His sneering attitude is probably the reason for it. Although he made jovoral errors in judgement in his work and cocial behaviour, LOGINOV by no means is a fool and should be kept in mind for any possible developments.Vladislav Sergeyovich KORMUSHKIN, vice consul (Attaché), is a young man about thirty-three years of age, whten rather stocky, with blond wavy hair over a high forehead. A pair of heavy-rimmed glassos gives him the appearance of a very intellectual porson. On the whole, KORMUSHKIN has the air- of an eayy-going fellow, who can make friends almost over- night. KORMUSHKIN and his wife are exceptionally close friends with Anatoliy Vladimirovich KARABACE, employee of the Comercial Office, and his wife. Both families visit cach other quite frequently.Besides occasional drinking bouts, KORMUSHKIN has not been known to practice any skirt-chasing, since his wife, Inca Nikolayevna, is not a bad-looking women herself, and both seem to be getting along smoothly. KORMUSKINA is a practicing physician at the Embassy and is quite in demand

-5-whenever any of the Soviets or his family is ill. KORNUS-EXIN is also quite active in consular affairs and does mostof the leg work for LOGINOV. He is also very activo inKestkon functions, where he is in charge of the Childron'ssection. KORFUSEXIN is quite an armatim energetic andpushy individual and can be quite rude and nasty at timos.Undoubtedly, he is looking forward to boing a full-fledgedconsul in time to come. The impression of KORMUSEKIN'S am-bition and pushy treit in his character is intensified by thosound of his rapid and energetic but pleasant baritone voico.A curious fact should be cited here. Shortly after hisarrival, KORKUSHKIN purchased a tape-recorder for 185 dollars.or 70 dollars more than the one bought by his "boss" LOGINOV.my?It seems that in the future, NORMUSHKIN may slow downsomewhat, but his inner drive and energy will neverthelossmake him a more adroit and skillful individual. His furtherprogress should be watched with interest and caution.Vladimir Ivanovich SHPAKOVIC, vice-consul (third secre-tary) seems to be able to handle any job that cores along.Previously he was mentioned as an assistant Cultural Attache,then substituted for the Press Attechs, while that positionremained vacant, and quite recently, while the two consulsare on leave, he has started calling himself "consul".CS COPY

-5-SHPAKEVICH is of very ordinary appearance, of slight build and dark complexion and is unmarked by any outstanding features, with the exception of a noticeably receding hairline. He wears glasses sometimes. His voice is even plainer than his looks. It has the unusual chamelconic peculiarity of sounding like someone else's. Even SHPAKEVICH'S closest friends cannot recognize his voice at times and he delights in taking advantage of it. Occasionally SHPAKEVICH would call a friend on the phone and start talking in rapid Spanish. When the friend is duly confused and does not know what to say, SHPAKEVICH breaks into an explosive guffaw that somehow lacks true merriment. Since SHPAKEVICH repeats this crude joke time after time it is obvious that his sense of humour is quite rudimentary.Ordinarily SHPAKEVICH is a cautious individual who dislikes making decisions of importance. He said that he was getting clobbered whenever a decision was wrong. However, SHPAKEVICH can be quite importunate at the wrong moment and with the wrong person. Thus, when attached to the dancer, PLISETSKAYA'S group as an interpreter in Puebla, SHPAKEVICH called the Embassy about some trivial matter and wanted to talk to ambassador BAZAROV. A Man on Duty told him that BAZAROV was taking his mid-afternoon rest and was not to be bothered. But SHPAKEVICH persisted in his desire to talk to BAZAROV. Finally BAZAROV took the phone and when he
[104-10173-10135.pdf — page 293]
-7-found out what SHPAKEVICH wanted to tell him, BAZAROV gavehim a verbal lashing that actually sizzled. Nevertheless,later SHPAKEVICH called again and asked for the ambassador.The Man on Duty, Ivan Fedorovich SOLOMATIN, told SHPAKEVICH,"Ah, he roasted you and me before for *** disturbing hisrest and now you want some more of it?" But SHPAKEVICH wasnot to be put off and SOLOMATIK with a sigh buzzed BAZAROVagain. At first BAZAROV was angry but later calmed-down anddiscussed with SHPAKEVICH the well-being of PLISETSKAYA andher group. The above incidnet may chabacterize SHPAKEVICHin American vernacular as a "pest" and a "jerk". Both ex-pressions describe his true nature quite well.It is doubtful if this one-time assistant of the cul-tural attache had any extensive schooling. Such inadmissibleexpressions as, for instande, "Ya khochu dolozhitsya" is aclear indication of his low educational level.But with all his shortcomings, SHPAKEVICH is probablywell liked by the majority of the Soviets. He is easy toget along with, especially with his friends. His closestfriends are the families of the Soviet correspondents, theKUDRIAKOVS and the DOLGOVS, and he is also very intimate withLeonia Vasilyevich (Losnka) NIKIFOROV, Intourist representa-tive. On a few occasions both of them get together withthe aim of draining a bottle of cognac. However, there was
[104-10173-10135.pdf — page 294]
-8-No indication that SHPAKEVICH was ever riotous or dead drunk. He is neither a skirt-chaser, although with his fluent Spanish and a human tank for a wife, SHPAKEVICH would be justified in investigating gresnor pastures among the Mexican women. But he is decidedly devoid of any imagination.Despite her great bulk, SHPAKEVICH'S wife, Tatyana Ivanovna, seems to be a very amiable person and all the Soviet wives agree that she is very "nice". Tatyana is two years SHPAKEVICH'S junior, but she acts like a protective mother-hen towards him. She has high blood pressure and that was probably why she left for Moscow over a month ago. Consequently SHPAKEVICH is here all by himself for the present and some of his friends, who refer to him simply as "SHPAK", invite him occasionally for dinner or lunch.Yet SHAPKEVICH can also hurt some people's feelings with his callous indifference. Once, when Nina Atanasyevna NIKITINA, wife of the films representative, Aleksandr Aleksandrovich, begged SHPAKEVICH to drive her home from the Embassy, since she was dead tired after running errands for the Nestkon, SHPAKEVICH told her in an indifferent manner that he had no desire to do so and walked away. NIKITINA was so hurt by SHPAKEVICH'S attitude that she cried in the street on her way home. Acts of this nature cannot endear him to some people and by all indications, SHPAKEVICH does not seem
[104-10173-10135.pdf — page 295]
to be a vory bright individual. Thuc, he is doing used forany conceivable job that prosents itself, but only in tho cap-acity of a tomporary stop-gap, as an interpreter, or even asan errand-boy.CS COPY201-285412

The Station continued to maintain contact with the LIROBBINS during the reporting period for the dual purpose of monitoring their relations with the Soviets and using them as sources of information on their heterogeneous social circle. Dwindling contact between the Soviets and the LIROBBINS since March suggests, however, that the Soviets may have lost their earlier interest in the couple.2. LIROBBIN-1 and -2 had the following contact with the Soviets during the reporting period:7 November: LIROBBIN-1 and 2 attended the 7 November Soviet Embassy celebration at the invitation of Aleksandr V.

# SECRETHMMA-337611 December: LIROBBIN-1 bumped into PRIKHODKO in a coffee shop in the vicinity of several boys' schools. PRIKHODKO appeared to be deeply engaged in conversation with an unidentified Mexican boy who appeared to be about 20 years old and a student. PRIRHODKO greeted LIROBBIN-1, but neither introduced the boy nor asked LIROBBIN-1 to join them. PRIKHODKO vas still talking with the boy when LIROBBIN-1 left.Early December: At the invitation of PRIKHODKO and Valentin I. KUCHKOV (201-758017),LIBOBBIN-1 and -2 attended a reception in honor of the Bolshoi Ballet at the Soviet Embassy.3 February: LIROBBIN-1 and -3 and their daughter attended a dinner and film shoving at the Soviet films office along with another American couple the LIROBBING bad intro duced to PRIKHODKO. PRIEHODKO and BUCHEROV were the hosts.15 February: LIROBBIN-1 and -2 set Valentin 8. LOGINOV (201-285412), for the first time, at an Indian Embassy reception.16 February: At LOGINOV's invitation, LIROBBIN-2 at- tended a Consular Corps gathering at the Soviet Dabassy. LIBOBBIN-1 had left for the United States that morning. PRIKHODKO and KUCHEROV both appeared genuinely sur prised at seeing LIROBBIN-2 and learning that she knew LOGOV. LOGINOV, for his part, also seemed surprised that PRIKHODKO and KUCHAROV knew LIROBBIN-2.17 February: KUCHAROV came over to LIROHSIN-2's apart- meut during the afternoon with an invi- tation to the Soviet Army Day reception which he had promised on lu February to deliver personally. AS KUCHAROV know, LIROBAIN-1 had left for the U.S. KUCHEROV invited hizself in Zor several drinks and stayed for two hours talking about nothing. At one point he noticed a scratch on LIROBBIN-2's knee and used the opportunity to administer a sympathetic caress which wound up going down the length of ber leg. He did not attempt to follow up this amorous gambit, however, and finally left with nothing more than a good-by bear hug.23 February: LIROBBIN-2 attended the Soviet Army Day Reception at the Soviet Embassy, where she talked primarily with PRIKECOKO, RUCHEROV, and DOLGOV. She also spoke briefly with LOGINOV, who invited her to go along on a Consular Corps tour of the Mexican Home Show.3 Harch:LIROBDIN-2 went on the tour of the Hoar Show, during which she talked with LOGINOV for about 35 ainutes.
[104-10173-10135.pdf — page 298]
299SECRETНЕИА-3270131 March:LIROBBIN-2 telephoned PRIKHODKO about a week in advance and invited him to dinner on this date. He accepted, but failed to show up and never called to apologize.12 July:LIROBBIN-3 met LOGINOV at an Indian Embassy reception. During a brief conversation with him he told her he was about to leave for the USSR on vacation and that PRIKHODKO would be doing the same later in the month:3. As can be seen from the above run down, none of the LIROBBINS' Soviet contacts have made any effort to see them since early March, and PRIKHODKO even missed a dinner party without so much as calling to apologize. It therefore appears that the LIROBBINS have at least temporarily been put on the shelf by the Soviets, if not dropped altogether. We expect to get a more definite reading in the fall, when the large number of Soviets now on vacation, including PRIKHODKO and LOGINOV, have returned and the Soviets have resumed their normal routines.4. In the course of the reporting period, the LIROBBINS also provided information on 14 non-Soviet acquaintances of interest to the Station.for/Willard C. CURTIS
