didn't." NOSENKO also said that TSYMBAL had asked him severaltimes to transfer to the First Chief Directorate and hadsuggested that he might be assigned to the United States. Infact, NOSENKO added, he had got into some difficulty with O. M.GRIBANOV, Chief of the Second Chief Directorate, cy virtue ofTSYMBAL's efforts in 1962 to have NOSENKO transferred and hisleaving the impression with GRIBANOV that NOSENKO (who was stillin Geneva) had agreed to this action.Questioned in April 1964 about his association with TSYMBAL,NOSENKO stated that he met TSYMBAL for the first time severaldays before their departure for Geneva. Besides saying againthat he saw TSYMBAL almost daily at the Legal Residency andthat TSYMBAL's assistance enabled him to enter the Legal Resi-dency, NOSENKO reported that in 1962 he went out with TSYMBALseveral times a week to eat lunch or dinner; sometimes they werejoined by I. S. MAYOROV,* sometimes by A. K. KISLOV (see nextsection), and sometimes the two ate alone. During the 1966interrogations, NOSENKO said that, while he had seen TSYMBALon a daily basis in 1962, he saw him only twice in 1964. oncewhen TSYMBAL travelled to Geneva from Bern for ore or two daysand later when NOSENKO saw TSYMBAL off for Rome from Lausanne.5. Association with Other SovietsNOSENKO said in 1962 that the other Soviets he saw mostoften were A. K. KISLOV and Yu. I. GUK.** KISLOV, with NOSENKOwas one of the four members of the Soviet delegation stayingat the Hotel Ariane in Geneva, and was said to be head of theAmerican Section of TASS and a genuine correspondent.*** Duringthe 1962 meetings with CIA, NOSENKO reported that KISLOV wasnot a KGB officer and made no reference of his having anyaffiliation with the KGB. NOSENKO dia say, however, that hehad arranged for KISLOV's name to be given the KGB doubleagent B. Ye. BELITSKIY**** to use as a notional source ofinformation on Soviet disarmament policy: BELITSKIY was topass this information to his CIA contacts. NOSENKO madenumerous references to drinking and carousing with KISLOV,specifically with regard to a night in early June - whenNOSENKO was robbed of or squandered his operational funds,which brought him to CIA and on the night of 10 June 1962when NOSENKC squandered 2000 Swiss francs (the money CIA hadgiven him) on wine and women.***** In giving NOSENKO themoney to defray these personal expenses, the CIA handlersexpressed to him their concern over the dangers to his securityarising from KISLOV'S knowledge of this inexplicable source ofincome. NOSENKO replied that there was no need to be concernedsince KISLOV was"too drunk to know what is going on," and inany event he constituted no threat.* MAYOROV, according to NOSENKO, was visiting Geneva in  order to have operational meetings with agents.** Both KISLOV and GUK are mentioned in the discussion ofthe "ANDREY" case (see Part VI.D.3.b.). GUK was also afriend of GOLITSYN, who reported extensively on GUK'scareer in the KGB including his service in the UnitedStates.*** In October 1966 NOSENKO named all the Soviets living atthe Ariane, without mentioning KISLOV.**** The BELITSKIY case is discussed in greater length inPart VI.D.6.*****See Parts II.B. and II.C.2.c.
