(S) (Gp-1) A Soviet Embassy official in Mexico City,
Nikolai S. LEONOV, is allegedly actively planning an insur-
gent movement in Latin America. LEONOV left Mexico for the
USSR on 21 April to confer with KHRUSHCHEV and CASTRO.
Credence is given this report by the publication of a photo-
graph of the three on 8 May in a Cuban newspaper. The pho-
tograph was purportedly taken during a recent meeting.
(S) (Gp-1) Cuba and Mexico, according to LEONOV's
schemes, would serve as bases for the insurgency... Cuba
would be the "invisible beachhead" and Mexico the point for
covert distribution of arms.
(S) (Gp-3) The individual selected as the contact man
for arms acquisition is said to have been engaged in simi-
lar activity in Guatemala about a year ago.
(S) (Gp-3) Another report from sources in Colombia
stated that pro-CASTRO ex-President CARDENAS planned to
call a meeting in Mexico City of "leftist bent", disgrun-
tled retired military officers from Latin American coun-
tries on the subject of insurgency. (DIA, 3 June 1963).

20 May 1955: Rodolfo KEO called Subject and old "We have found the
books and material you requested (re Soviet forbigh policy)." LEONOV
said he would take the books to NEO the next day. NEIVC for many years
active in the Mexican Diplomatic Service, ut one time being Charge of the
Mexican Legation in Harrow, Foland. Now about 75 and inactive in Government,
but does write articles for the newspaper Excelsior! (:3736 5 L. 55).
6 January 1956: The daughter of General Heriberto Jak spoke with Subject
at the Soviet Embassy saying she had been told that he was the person who
could inform her of when she should come by to pick up translations of the
"olincial documents" relative to herself and her father. Subfoot said they
were having some trouble getting the documents translated because of the
medical terms, but said they should be ready in about five days (HRSA 4200).
1 February 1956: Subject called Velia Jara de NIETO, daughter of General JARA,
and told her that the translations of her father's clinical history had been
made from Russian into Spanish. Mrs. NIETO said she would visit the Embassy
the next day and ask LEONOV for the materials (HIPA 4410).
24 February 1956: One Samuel RAMOS contacted Subject who acts as secretary to
Soviet Ambassador, Mexico. RAMOS told LEONOV "We are not going to meet at my
house this afternoon, but at S.LGO's (which is at) Insurgentes 429-51 at the usual
hour." Subject replied that he thought he could get to the meeting at 1900.
hours and sent greetings "to the boys." PALDS said "we have some books we want
to order through LEDDY" (HDCIA 4336).
2 March 1966; Samiel KAƐ)Ş left a message for Subject that "if he has time I
hope he will come to my house today" (ENA 4600),
7 March 1958; Samuel RAMOS called-Embassy and asked for data on the possibility
of staging an international chess match in Mexico. In this omversation it was
indicated that RANCS is in the academic line of work. He stated that xx he was
"back in classes" and that meetings could no longer be held in his hose.
He
told LEONOV that a tournament, featuring a person named "PCMMARD" would begin
Monday (12 March) and invited Subject to see some of it. LEONOV said he would
attend if he had time. RANOS then asked when he could see LEONOV to give him
a list of books "we want". LEONOV told him to come to the Embassy at any time,
and RAMOS said he would come right away (FAOLA 4600).

Official Activities
LEONOV remains an obscure figure and although we assume he is employed in the
administrative section of the Chancellery, we cannot pinpoint his duties. He
has identified himself from time to time as the secretary to the Ambassador, has
"been noted taking his turn as embassy duty officer and has taken hospital bedside
guard duty. During 1958,before the arrival of the regular administrative officer
Vladimir Ivanovich ZHUKOV, in November 1953, LEONCV was handling calls concerning
goods and services but was probably merely filling in, because of his facility
with the Spanish language, until ZHUKOV's arrival. In December 1954 APARINOV
asked one of the guards whether he had the keys to LEONOV's room in the embassy.
Since, during that time, we believe LETNOV was residing at Industria 71, it would
appear that LEONOV had a private office in the embassy, one which was apparently
kept locked when he was away. One or two other very vague references indicate
ho might have something to do with communications work. Beginning about Hovember
1955 LEHOV began to merge as an interpreter and translator. He spent a good
deal of time with the Social Security delegation, with Soviet pianist GI LELS and
with Soviet movie director ALEXSANDROV, each time appearing as the interpreter
or translator. His recent association in January 1956 with the daughter of
Communist General Heriberto JARA also involved translation work. Other more
recent references make us begin to wonder now if LECHOV might not be connected
with the Cultural Section. During the last two months of 1955 he appeared to be
associated in work with FASYUKKVICH, director of the Soviet Embassy Information
Bulletin. In March 1956, when PAPOROV could not keep an appointment at University
City at the invitation of Mexican President RUIZ CORTINES, he asked that either
LEONOV, GUNDARKV or POPOV keep the appointment. It is known that PAPOROV, OUNDAREV
and POPOV are all definitely assigned to the Cultural Section indicating further.
that LECNCV may be associated with that group. We, therefor, classify LZONOV as

having worked in the administrative section until late 1955 when his position
began to appear as that of translator and interpreter, perhaps more clearly
associated with the cultural section. Again, however, he may still be assigned
to administrative work in the Chancellery which overlaps with the cultural and,
squel
LECNOV's contact with Samuel RAMOS as dispatched in D-A-4386 (19 March 1956) was
reported again on 7 March 1355 when RAYCS called LECNOT and the two discussed a
chess tournament to which Soviet delegates were apparently to be invited. When
LEC NCV asked from where RAMOS was calling, he replied from his home. RAMOS stated
he was now back in class "at the University" and so "we won't be able to meet
at my house now." RANCS invited LETOV to one of the tournaments the following
week and also made arrangements to visit subject at the embassy to give him the
list of books "which we (want)..." .
Unless LEONOV has something to do with consular affairs, we are at a loss to
explain the following LIMERICK reference. On 10 November 1955 a man identifying
himself as "your friend, Col. GONZALEZ" asked LEONOV if he had found out about
some matter he had requested. It appeared that LE NOV had forwarded the "request"
to the USSR and that the Mexican Arbassador to the Soviet Union was to notify
Col. GONZALEZ, GONZALEZ stopped short after starting to ask what happened to
that matter, explaining it would be better if they got together and talked it
over. The two arranged to meet at the a bassy, At the beginning of the conversation
GONZALEZ, in recalling to LEONOV's mind who he was, stated, "We were chatting about
this project which I have to present to the Presidencia about the use of the
unters from the Toluca volcano, Chinantecatl." The Cia. Exportadora e Importadore
Noxicam, S.A. (CEIMSA) had counissioned (X-NZALEZ to go to Chihuahua to see some
farmers and therefore he was not able to contact LECHOV earlier.
Other then the two preceding LIMERICK references, which in themselves are incon-
clusive, we have no indication that LECNOV is engaged in RIS activities.
There are vague references suggesting that the LECNOVs may be leaving Kexico in
April 1956.
Private Activities
During February 1954 LE NOV was hospitalised at the Sanatorio Falinde, where he
underwent an appendectomy performed by Dr. Gustavo BẠZ,
A LI000 L-2 refermee of August 1954 revealed that former Soviet Consul MELNIKOV
and his wife agreed that LECHOV played well (possibly a musical instrument or
a ball game ??). During March 1955, after he had arranged a movie or given a
lecture, two of the embassy wives remarked on how good LICNOV was, (it is known
that LEONOV has taken his turn at giving Political Information Class lestures.)
LEONOV also appears to enjoy athletics he plays tennis, attends shooting
matches, arranges football games with the Cracha, and plays volleyball, He takes
some sort of lessons, not necessarily Spanish, in the embassy. As for LECNCV's
feeling about American movies, he was heard to tell one of the Social Security
delegates, "You can really run into trash in an American film,"

LEONOV
page 51
It is reported by LIDERICK that LEONOVA gives some sort of instruction to
embanay personnel and although it is not known just what type of lessons these
may be, we venture a guess that she toaches Spanish. During October 1965
LEONOVA underwent a very strious operation, lasting two hours, during which the
anesthetization had to be discontinued because her heart could not take the
strain. 18QIOVA returned to work again in Novembar 1955,
Although ene vague reference hinted that LECNOVA may be pregnant now, tare have
been so allusions to my childrm the LECNCVs might have. When MATVKYEV returned
from home leave in the USSR in October 1955, while LECNOVA was undergoing her
poration, he mid he had seon LECHOVA's father but, because of his age,it would
be better that he not be told of her sickness.

2. LIMERICK reported that on 24 February 1956 one Samuel RAMOS contacted
Hikolai 8. LEONOV, who acts as secretary to the Soviet Ambassador in Maxico.
RAMOS told LEONOV "We are not going to meet at my house this afternoon but
at SALO)'s (which is at) Insurgentes 429-51 at the usual hour." LEONOV
replied that he thought he could get to the meeting at 1900 hours and sent
greetings to the boys." RAMOS said "we have some books we want to order
through LEONOV.
On the face of it, this conversation appeared to be quite unusual
and attracted the interest of this Station. Furthermore, it is known that
for years the Soviets have used the hours between 1900 and 2000 for meeting
alandestine or unusual contacts in Mexico.
3. The following steps ware taken to ascertain general information on
RAMOS and "SALEO":
B. Station file record on Samual RAMOS resulted in no clear iden-
tifications. There is a Samuel RAMOS who was listed in 1948 as
Rector of the School of Philosophy and Letters of the University.
LIFETHENITE ascertained that the address mentioned is occupied
by a female doctor named Renee SALGO Burger, allegedly of French
nationality, who operates a beauty parlor. This is confirmed in
the telephone book.
C.
Files of this office indicate an ODENVY report that one Renee
SALGO was a member of the Hungarian club EMUNA in 1951. The files
also show that one Alejandro BURGER was a member of the club and
that he and Renee lived at the same address. The file further shows
that one Andres SALGO was a member of the club and describes him as
a Commnist sympathiser.

Official Activities
Our few references to LEXIOV make it appear that he, like ELYAKOV and ANTYASOV,
with whom he seems to le vaguely associated, is a t ird echelon functionary who
probably performs a variety of administrative tasks in support of one or another
phase of the Embassy operations and might be in on-the-job training for a spe-
cialised job as assistant to, at a guess, SMOILOV. In early August, shortly af-
ter his arrival, he called a woman instructor at an o scuro local business school
and was told that he could come by for his grades the following week. (he infer
from another converstim that HITVEIEV was a tending this school with him.).
LECHOV was also with ATYASOV and BELIAKOV when NUUTIASOV was detained on their
way "back from the University" at the and of September. (See ALTYASW.) This
should indicate that he was principally occupied during the weeks after his ar-
rival in aequainting himself with local business methods and comercial prao-
tices, and perhaps taking some further formal instruction. Otherwise, his ap-
pear nees in the traffic have been 11 ited to answering the telephone for both
KOLOMYAKOV and SAMOILOV in their absence (without making decisions or taking
any action) and, under the tutelage of LAZAREV before the latter's departure,
raking routine calls connected with ordering wine, repairing the movie projec
tor, and the like. He has also occasionally been seen driving one or another
of the Embassy automobiles, apparently filling in for one of the chauffeurs,
Private stivities
Our only information on LEXIOV's private life is the fact that the ZHUKOVS moved
into the LEXIOV]' apartment (!lo. 4 at Industria Ho. 71) upon their arrival

on 7 lovebar and the tum couples lived together for about three weeks, when the
LEQNOVS moved into other quarters at Juanoatlan 81. (There were no indications
that the original arrangement had evor boon intended to be other than teŋorary
or that the subsequent move of the LẠONOVe vas due to friction between the two
couples.) This raises the suggestion that ZEUKCW may be associated in some way
with LEONOV within the imbassy as wall, a possibility which is borne out to some
artent by the fact that both habitually sinsvec and make calls from the same Ra-
bacay telephones,
Comment
We cannot yet assess LECHOV for operational purposes,

Irizate Activities
Although we have no definite indications to that effect, there is a fair possi-
bility that LEONOVA is employed in some administrative or clorical position in
the Embassy, since she seems to be prosent in the Chancery area a good deel
during office hours and, without children, would not otherwise have a great deal
to do.
Our only information relating directly to LONOVA occurs during a conversation
between APA YNGVA and MELHIKOVA on 26 Uctober in which AFARINOVA complained bit-
terly that LEONOVA wo shirking har share of responsibility in preparing food
for the 7 November rese; tion. LEONOVA had apparently fulled to buy ingredients,
after being anked to do so, on the plea that she had not been told exatly what
kind of apples to cet aur where to buy them. A AKINOVA, "KOMSOMOLTSI alumys
brag about being in the front line, but in actuality, behF MELHIKOVA: "Yes,
when I was at their home, wo happened to discuss the reception, and Rita
(AUTYASOVA) caid, "Why should wo do the work for the reception?' I told her she
should be ashamed of herself. I work in the Embassy and held out during rǝcep-
tions and all holidays, and I don't complain. LEON VA claims she is not [oing
to do any shopping because she was not given the responsibility." APARICH/VA:
"What does she meant I not her and naid 'Lara. . • She raid she'd ouse over
Sunday and make a list of the things to bo bought." KELNIKOVA: "And she didn't
OHIO OVES. She was probably afraid of the work and the money involval, APAKL
ROVA: "How silly. I told her we would refund all expenses,”
Comment
We infer that LEONOV (and perhaps her husband as well) is a good KOMSOMOL and
may be andowed with the aggressively impleasant personality which the Soviet
system seems to foster so often. As shown in our photo coverage, both she and
her husband have the appearance of persons who could be the wall-disciplined, un-
questioning, devoted Commuists idealised in Soviet propagamia.
