# DISPATCHfor an extended period. While we recognize that Subject's hapiness is not a matter of much larmediate concern, we believe that it could be an i-portant factor in his future handling. Second, Subject reports that his business is doing well and that he hopes eventually to acquire a French passport which in effect would romove the restrictions under which hệ now lives. The acquisition of a passport and financial success would, we believe, considerably change Subject's frame of mind and possibly his willingness for REDSOX. Third, Subject might at any time have a rm-in with the French authorities. It might not be his fault but it might make it Impractical or impossible to reach him when and if he is wanted. Fourth, Subject points out that he cannot simply disappear from Gap without straightening out his affairs, particularly his business affairs with his business partners. "Cannot" may be an exaggeration, but the fact is that Subject is the sort of person who would leave his friends in the lurch, as he sees it, only under extreme circumstances. He would not be happy about having done so. He would like to have about three weeks warning before his departure and as far as we can judge this is not an unreasonable request. In short, we believe that Subject is an excellent, albeit not ideal, candidate and that it would be wise to insure his availability insofar as we can by bringing him at the earliest possible date to Germany where we shall have better control.Approved: Francis M.

# SECRET# REPORT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL EXAMINATIONSUBJECT: AEASPICDates of Examination:8, 9, 10 January 1959Subject was met in Paris on the above dates by the case officer and the examiner and was submitted to a preliminary psychological examination via a French interpreter.Subject was born 12 July 1918 in Georgia which, at this time, was not yet part of the USSR. The Subject classifies his parents as "Nobles" and is of the opinion that their status had a great influence upon his behavior and development particularly in the period which followed the family's flight from Georgia to France in 1921. In other words, the Subject abides by the prejudicial class attitude of Noblesse Oblige and feels an obligation of honorable and generous behavior attributable to his birth rank. He is also of the opinion that this concept of nobility has evolved into a system of dignity and pride in his endeavors. This concept is also extended to include the attitude: "If you pretend to be something, you have to act accordingly."The family fled Georgia before the Soviet invasion. The Subject feels that he was too young to understand but recalls having revolted against the flight because it was a humilitating defeat rather than a tactical retreat. He operates by the attitude that one must fight, surpass or conquer rather than to submit or accept defeat. He is, according to his own self-concept, a person who can not tolerate being beaten in competition. As a child the Subject felt that he was much stronger than several million men. He presents the analogy that he is like a man who wants to kill an elephant. All he needs provided for him is a high powered rifle and then he would feel equal to the elephant. The Subject admits of physical inferiority feelings by virtue of his size and strength but he denies any feelings of intellectual inferiority and admits that he depends more upon his mental faculties than upon his physical abilities. Apparently the Subject has never been able to accept what he considers the original defeat and flight from Georgia.211-233477
[104-10182-10002.pdf — page 39]
In addition, his father later returned to Georgia because he wanted todie in Georgia. Although the Subject can appreciate tis father's pointof view he is unable to forgive his father for having admitted his defeatby returning to Georgia to die. Although the Subject does not regardhimself as a Georgian and is certainly not regarded as a nationalist,he is a competitive individual and may be motivated for affiliation in orderto compensate for having experienced what he regards as defeat at thehands of the Soviets. To substantiate the validity of the presence ofthis attitude in his personality he offers the example that when he wascommitted to prison he was not bothered by the prison life but bythe fact that he had made a wrong calculation in associating himself withan unreliable partner and consequently was arrested and imprisoned.For him, therefore, the first day in prison was worse than all the others.According to the Subject, the sense of defeat together with the competitiveurge to balance the score is the primary factor in his personality andlife experience. In addition to these, as was mentioned above, he ishighly self-confident and optimistic that he will succeed despite thehazards and odds. It would appear that these attitudes are importantas regards his motivation for affiliation, management and utilizationof his services.Because the father had provided himself with certain monies thefamily was able to live comfortably and even opciently upon its arrivalin France. However, the vicissitudes of life brought the familyprogressively to financial difficulties and later to material degradation.The Subject is of the opinion that this loss of economic status had amarked influence upon his way of thinking thereafter. Whereas thefamily had previously lived in an artificial, feudalistic way it wasnot brought into more direct contact with reality and, although thiswas not necessarily a bad influence, life was tough. The Subject'searly loss of economic status is important as regards his selectionfor affiliation because it also constituted a loss of social status which ismore primary in Subject's personality. A review of the Subject's lifehistory reveals that he has always responded to material incentives inhis various schemes and ventures. However, in terms of his personality,material success is uccess is a short-cut method of attaining social status.Consequently, it may be concluded that his drive for social status ismore basic than his need for financial status..From an early age the Subject was non-disciplined and in theschool situation he constantly rebelled against the authority of thoseteachers whom he felt did not regard him as intelligent or pay him-2
[104-10182-10002.pdf — page 40]
sufficient individual attention. Because he felt his teachers were too distant they were automatically unpleasant and apparently his rebellious behavior was his way of obtaining attention and getting closer to the teachers. He consistently refused to abide by the conformist attitude of his peers and felt compelled to do those things not normally done by others. He engaged in practical jokes and was generally regarded as an activist in the school situation. As a result he was expelled from one shcool after another and accumulated a record of having attended 18 different schools. It is also of interest that he never obtained a degree from the institutions of higher education which he attended.This early delinquent behavior in the school situation is of interest to us because it reflects the Subject's motivational attitudes which are present to date. As far as he is concerned, his scholastic experience, generally speaking, represents frustration, the seeking of a goal to puruse and his hope that his ideals would crystalize and materialize. The Subject is rather abstract in this interpretation. It would seem that his ideal involves not only material but moral comfort and security. However, he has always regarded society, through his disappointments and mortifying experiences, as wicked and selfish in its majority. Consequently, he expressed his dissatisfaction in the form of aggressive and anti-social behavior typical of the malcontent.One might ask why this individual reacted to his life experience in this manner. He was apparently a precocious child who experienced disillusionment both in his family and in his society. At first he felt this disillusionment was unique and peculiar to himself, but he soon discovered that his discontent was also shared by others. This reinforced his combative attitude and he reflected this attitude in his non-conforming behavior. It was as if he suddenly had discovered to his great disappointment that there was no Santa Claus.Another aspect of his system of ideals proceeds from his concept of chivalry which he feels his parents inculcated. This is a sort of Robin Hood concept by which the Subject visualizes himself as a hero who rushes to the rescue of the weak and oppressed. This concept is somewhat afantastic and has misguided his behavior in various situations throughout his life. For example, the school situation, he would typically assume blame for the wrong-doings of others. Later in life he responded to the plight of others for the conscious reason of wanting to help them. The Subject feels that many people need help and that he has always wanted-3-
[104-10182-10002.pdf — page 41]
to help others in order to help himself. In other words, he is motivated to help others in order to obtain love and affection. His need for love and affection is probably one of his most basic needs and this need is expressed in all of his interpresonal contacts.The Subject's mother reacted to his neurotic behavior with over-affectionate solicitousness. Although she wasn't actually able to determine the reasons for his internal distress she was aware that something was taking place within him and finally took him to a psychiatrist because of his behavior problems. However, she didn't feel able to advise him of what she was doing and took him to the psychiatrist on a subterfuge. In addition, because the Subject disagreed with the psychiatrist's conclusions, he did not benefit by this experience. This would indicate that in handling the Subject it would be wise not to approach him covertly or as if he were a problem but to permit him to maintain his posture that he is right and that society is wrong. The mother was a marked conformist who insisted that the Subject should abide by the social order. To be successful, the Subject's handlers should avoid trying to make him conform in his attitudes toward society by well- meaning gestures or contrivances.The Subject continually deceived and disappointed his mother because each time she started him in a new school he made promises that he would behave but each time he managed to be expelled because of his behavior. The Subject is consciously convinced that his mother acted in his good interest and not for her satisfaction of wanting a perfect child. However, it is the opinion of this examiner, that the mother's over-solicitousness was compensatory for her basic rejection of the Subject. It is not likely that she did things for him but that she did things to and with him for herself. In other words, she wanted the Subject to be perfect so that he could be worthy of her love. This may also have been her attitude toward her husband. The Subject did not behave perfectly, did not merit her love and consequently appears to be continually seeking the love and affection of other persons. However, the Subject carnot accept this opinion as regards his mother and denies that she acted in her own interest. One of his principal defenses, is denial simply assuming the attitude that such and such is not true when he probably believes it is true.
[104-10182-10002.pdf — page 42]
The Subject regards his mother as having been the axle of the family. He also regards her as having been the major influence in his life. He is particularly disappointed in his mother because he feels, although he loved her, she deserted him through suiefde. He feels she had sacrificed herself completely for her children and that she killed herself because she no longer knew how to distribute love and care. Concomitantly, the Subject began to lose regard for his father when he realized that his father was not providing his mother with affection. However, the Subject identifies with his father in the respect that both have no never achieved anything significant and consequently may have disappointed his mother. The Subject misses his mother's love and feels that his life was broken when she died. He found himself completely alone and all his illusions apparently disappeared. He has tried to obtain affection through others and realizes that his need for affection is a big part of himself. On the other hand "I am a complicated person, however, I am not difficult to understand,"The Subject reflects disappointment in his father as a personal ideal. He regards his father as an independent person who was kind but profoundly selfish. Nevertheless, the father would give the shirt off his back. The father was fond of children, loved the whole family and was happy when he saw others happy. However, the Subject is disappointed in his father in that his father never succeeded. He feels that if his father had succeeded none of the things that happened in his life would have come to pass. He feels that his mother's suicide is a direct consequence of his father's failure to succeed.When the father returned to Georgia the Subject was driven to dispair over the dissolution of the family. The Subject was the baby of the family and the death of his mother and the departure of his father and sister were a threat to his emotional security. He tried to restrain his father by threatening him that because of a French law requiring foreigners to pay taxes before leaving the country, the father ran the risk of being arrested. When the Subject told his sister this, she became angry and replied that the father was mature enough to act as well as possible. The Subject's attempt to prevent his father from leaving was conflictual for him because, although he didn't want his father to leave, he also did not want to interfere with his father's desire. This experience taught the Subject that when his father made a decision he would carry it through at any cost. As it happened, the result was the disintegration of the family. However, this incident is of interest
[104-10182-10002.pdf — page 43]
to the Subject's handlers because he indicates that he will abide by firm authoritative decisions even though he objects to them.Whereas the Subject was attached to his mother, his sister was identified with his father. The sister followed her father to Georgia out of a spirit of affection and sacrifice because she felt that her father needed her. The Subject regards his sister as a tributary of his father's mistakes. The sister taught languages in school and at the time of Stalin the children would say: "We have done this and that thanks to Stalin!" She would reply: "You are individuals and you have done this or that without Stalin!" As a result she was arrested and sent to a concentration camp but with the change of regimes she obtained her freedom and returned to her job. It would appear that the sister is an individualist like the Subject.The sister's husband had emigrated to France at a much later date and apparently could not adapt himself and regretted having left Russia. He returned to Russia and the Subject believes that because he had served in the German Army he was sent to a concentration camp in Russia. Subject regards the intellectual level of his brother-in-law as that of his sister. The brother-in-law also had an inferiority complex and this may have been an additional reason why the Subject had rejected him as a brother-in-law.The Subject's brother, who is an architect in Gap, appears to be an independent person who is conservative and more conforming than the Subject. The Subject does not regard his brother as having distinguished himself in extraordinary fashion. It is of interest that the Subject may be jealous of his brother and states that his brother has been more successful but in his own sphere and in terms of his own standards. It is of interest also that the Subject's philosophy is not to accept the fact that he has been unsuccessful but to try to explain his lack of success by the process of introspection and self-analysis. This emphasis and orientation as regards obtaining a greater knowledge of himself is typically a neurotic and represents his need to love himself and to rationalize his failures. The Subject feels that his brother is jealous of him whereas it is likely that both are jealous of each other. It is also likely that the Subject and his brother were rivals for the mother's affection. For example, the Subject feels both he and his brother loved the same type of women.
