CONFIDENTIAL11 September 1976MEMORANDUMSUBJECT: Deryabin comments on (~~132131)Nikolay Sergeyevich Leonov, KGB Officer and Personal Friend of Fidel Castro of Cuba.1. Soviet magazine *Latinskaya Amerika*, issue No. 4, for July-August 1976 (pp 127-142) published an article entitled "*To Your Health, Fidel!*" by N. S. Leonov, who is identified in the article as a "journalist".On page 138 there is a photograph of Fidel Castro with the author of the article, journalist N. Leonov. In this photograph I definitely recognize KGB officer Nikolay Sergeyevich Leonov. I knew Leonov in Moscow as a KGB officer of the First Chief Directorate (FCD). The last time I saw him in KGB Hqs was during the summer of 1953. At that time I did not know in what department of the FCD Leonov worked. (Copy of this photo is enclosed)2. I recognized another photo of Leonov, N.S., in the late 1950s or the beginning of the 1960's for the Agency or the FBI.N. S. Leonov also was recognized by me on the photograph published in the Soviet book *Viva Cuba*, which was published in Moscow in 1963 or 1964.In this photograph Leonov appeared in the company of Khrushchev, Castro and Alekseyev (Shitov) Aleksandr Ivanovich, (also known to me personally as a KGB senior officer.) the Soviet Ambassador to Cuba at that time.N. S. Leonov also was recognized by me in the photograph published by *Golos Rodiny*, issue No. 32, for April 1963. In this photograph Leonov's face is shown between Khrushchev, Brezhnev, and Castro at Vnukovo Airport on 23 April 1963 when Castro arrived on his visit to the USSR.

3. In his article, highly praising Fidel Castro, Leonov reviews Castro's life and his accomplishments as a "revolutionary leader". The author revealed that when Castro lived in Mexico, 1955-56, he established contact with Alberto Bayo, former colonel of the Spanish Republican Army, who emigrated to Mexico after the Spanish Civil War, and who became Castro's military instructor". Also, in Mexico Castro was joined by Che Guevara, who became his close friend. The author briefly mentioned that the CIA had planned "a physical liquidation of Fidel Castro".In 1963 Castro was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union.The article was written in connection with Castro's 50th birthday, which was on 13 August 1976.The article provided photographs of Castro and some of his associates. The photographs for the article were provided by Novosti press agency, and by the Soviet magazine Kuba, which is published in Russian and in Spanish.2. Petr DaryabinCIFA/E Comment: According to information in Leonov's 201, he had applied for a visa as an employee of the MFA to the UNGA, in September 1976.According to SE/CI/Ext. Leonov is presently chief of Service #1 (Information) of the First Chief Directorate.
