the Fifth Department of KGB Hqs. A statement was also included
which said that during his tours in Mexico LEONOV was consistently
active in clandestine support of Latin American revolutionary
and subversive activities, particularly relating to Guatemala.
PDSTORAGE: As of 1976 LEONOV was Chief of Service No. 1

a KGB officer was transmitted to the State Department in August 1966
(NOTE: DERYABIN's iden in September 1964 was inconclusive but

DESTACADO LATINOAMERICANISTA RUSO
NIKOLAI LEÓNOV, QUE VIVIÓ
VIVIÓ 
12 AÑOS
EN MÉXICO, HABLA A SIEMPRE! DE LOS
MUCHOS PROBLEMAS DE NUESTRA AMÉRICA
DE POR INNA VASILKOVA_
Estimado Sr. Pagés:
Nikolái Leónov uno de los principales
.latinoamericanistas soviéticos de hoy, doctor
en Ciencias Históricas y hombre por lo regu-
lar moderado en manifestar sus sentimientos-
se pone sentimental cuando se habla de Méxi-
co...
"Considero a México, hasta cierto punto,
mi segunda patria -dice-. He vivido alli doce
años en total. Me enamoré de él a primera
vista y estoy seguro de que mi cariño a este
país no se empañará con los años."
Poco amigo de las entrevistas, esta vez
Nikolái ha hecho una excepción. Para SIEM-
PRE! y para mí.
Ante todo, hablamos de la capital Tanto
más que Leónov publicó hace poco la
revista soviética America Latina, un extenso
ensayo sobre ella. Pido a Nikolái que diga lo
que, a su parecer, deterinina la fison
esa ciudad.
de
Leónov: Cuando rememoro la ciudad de
México e intento dilucidat en qué conjuntos
arquitectónicos de la capital mexicana está
mejor reflejado el espíritu de la nación, me
vienen a las mientes, ante todo, los nuevos
monumentos. Esos en los que se ha perpetua-
do la heroica lucha del pueblo por su indepen-
dencia politica y económica. Y entre ellos, en
primer lugar, el dedicado a los "Niños Hé-
roes", los cuales, aunque no pudieron librar
de los norteamericanos a la ciudad, a costa de
sus vidas salvaron el honor y la dignidad de la
nación. Eso para mí es el simbolo de México...
Recuerdo que el general Ridgway, verdugo
del pueblo coreano, visitó México y depositó
una corona al pie del monumento. A la
mañana siguiente la corona estaba ante la
puerta de la embajada de los EE.UU. con la
siguiente inscripción: "De asesinos no admiti-
mos coronas".
Un símbolo de México es también el monu-
mento a los trabajadores del petróleo. No se
puede ver con frecuencia en un Estado capita-
lista un monumento a obreros, y que además,
éstos no estén, representados en un estilo
banal-alegórico, sino en el proceso del trabajo.
Al pensar en México, recuerdo siempre
asimismo la obra simbólica de Francisco Ep-
pens en la fachada de la Facultad de Medici-
na de la Universidad. La gigantesca cabeza
que ocupa el centro de la composición es, para
mi, personificación de la nación mexicana; en
ella parecen haberse fundido tres caras: la de
una mujer india, la de un hombre español y la
de un mestizo.
Y
por último, la singular plaza de las Tres
Culturas. Me parece que esa "triada" es
precisamente lo da a la ciudad de México
que
su originalidad sin par.
Pregunta: Pero una ciudad no son sólo las
En 1968, en la inauguración de la XIX Olimpia-
da
Leónov: Para comprender aunque no sea
más que un poco el alma mexicana hay que
ver, por lo menos, tres cosas: la plaza del
Zócalo en la noche del 15 al 16 de septiembre,
una corrida y la plaza de Garibaldi.
En la plaza del Zócalo se percibe con
particular agudeza el hálito del pasado remo-
to, de la rica y turbulenta historia del país,
que forjara el carácter de la nación. Alli se
llega a comprender a fondo el arrogante amor
de los mexicanos a su patria, sus seculares
anhelos de libertad e independencia y su odio
abrasador a los colonizadores de todo género,
que hollaran inclementemente la antigua cul-
tura y las tradiciones del pais.
La corrida es una emocionante fiesta de
valor, destreza y, de seguro, suerte, donde
brota a raudales el fogoso temperamento de
los mexicanos. Entre las infinitas tradiciones
de la corrida mexicana, una es de mi grado en
particular: la de perdonar la vida y poner en
libertad al toro que por su bravura, potencia y
tesón se gana la simpatía del público.

nes que interpretaban mariachis. Para mí eso
era siempre una fiesta. Y no sólo porque estoy
enamorado del arte popular mexicano. Allí el
alma mexicana se ofrece abierta de par en
par, poniendo en evidencia su prodigalidad
espiritual, su afecto y, lo que es más importan-
te, la habilidad de compartir con uno -sin que
ello resulte importuno- la alegría y la tristeza.
Se sienta usted alegre y afligido, los mariachis
están siempre dispueto a embellecer la ale-
gria o a hacer romántica la tristeza.
El Robin Hood de
América Latina
En agosto del año pasado, cuando Fidel
castro cumplio cincuenta años, Leónov publi-
có en la revista soviética América Latina un
artículo titulado "Salud te deseamos, Fidel”.
Aquello no era tanto una característica de
relevante hombre, cuando una exposición de
todo lo grande que tiene la nación cubana.
Aparte de que, como historiador, Nikolái
Leónov se ha dedicado a estudiar la Revolu-
ción Cabaña y a sus lideres, con Fidel le times

mía universitaria, entendida según el concepto ya generalizado de la
libertad de cátedra y de investigación científica, no como zona
extraterritorial en el marco de las instituciones jurídicas ni como fuero
para vulnerar el orden público ni los intereses sociales". Insistió en que
son las autoridades judiciales las que han realizado averiguaciones sobre
la presunta injerencia de universitarios, maestros y aluninos, en el
secuestro y muerte de varias personas. Ante eso Figueroa Dijo: "Yo no
he inventado los secuestros; mucho menos los muertos, cosa bien
dificil. adiría, tras otras consideraciones, que nadie se le ha
detenido en razón de sus ideas o de su militancia ponicas Cuando éstas

declaración de los inculpados". En 1976 el gobierno del estado concedió
a la Universidad de Guerrero un subsidio total de 19 millones 610 mil
482 pesos con 64 centavos, que casi duplica el otorgado el año inmediato
anterior al inicio del gobierno de Figueroa. El gobernador reveló ante el
Congreso y el numeroso públicó, que hay sectores locales que le han
llamado la atención sobre un uso inadecuado del subsidio por parte de
las autoridades de la Universidad y afirmó que "toda institución que
recibe un subsidio tiene la obligación ineludible de informar a la
sociedad respecto de su empleo, del mismo modo que los gobernantes
informamos de nuestros actos y de la aplicación del presupuesto".
Al margen de la polémica, que siguió mantenida en esta parte del
informe o quizás como consecuencia de ello- Rubén Figueroa, hizo
una proposición que constituye novedad en la materia; advirtiendo que
no se vaya a interpretar mal su opinión y se piense que él sè propone
proscribir la enseñanza superior en Guerrero. Lo que desea es -aclaró-
contribuir a la búsqueda de una solución pronta, eficaz y realista a este
problema. Su gobierno está en posibilidad de aplicar una parte
´ equitativa de su gasto educativo en becas otorgadas a alumnos de
escasos recursos que deberían asistir a lo que llamó la Universidad
compartida y solidaria. En el ambiente quedó una interrogante que
demandaba una explicación de este concepto sorpresivamente nuevo.
No flotó por mucho tiempo, pues acto seguido el gobernador contestó
asi: "Entiendo por Universidad compartida y solidaria un sistema
nacional de enseñanza superior que, independientemente del que existe
en el Valle de México, pueda instituir en cada entidad federativa una o
varias escuelas, institutos o facultades que adopten aquellas especialida-
des que reclamen las características y las más ingentes necesidades de

que redunda en la formación de profesionales frustrados, que no tienen
ocupación".

El Charro' Leono
Durante la ceremonia solemne de la entrega por Leonid Brezhnev a Fidel Castro de la Orden de Lenin
y la Estrella de Oro del Héroe de la Unión Soviética, en mayo de 1963. A la izquierda, N. Leónov.
Castro es, sin duda, una Personalidad con
mayúscula. ¿Cómo definiría usted el papel de
él en la historia de Cuba?
Leónov: Los numerosos biógrafos de Fidel,
de entre los historiadores burgueses, hacen
desesperados intentos de hallar ciertos factores
externos que puedan explicar la victoria de la
Revolución en Cuba. Se suelen remitir a
fenómenos de orden subjetivo, repitiendo la
versión sobre la "culpabilidad" de Eisenho-
wer, que prefirió jugar un partido de golf a
entrevistarse con Castro cuando éste visitó los
EE.UU. en la primavera de 1959. Y ninguno
de esos "investigadores" ha querido analizar
las regularidades objetivas de carácter socio-
económico ni el papel del mismo Fidel, quien
sutil y oportunamente captó la orientación
principal del desarrollo histórico y guió enér-
gicamente al país por el nuevo camino. Aquél
fue un trabajo muy duro. Si antes Fidel hubo
de dar reiteradas muestras de heroismo perso-
nal, ahora ponía de manifiesto una colosal
valentia política como hombre de Estado,
asumiendo la responsabilidad por todas las
decisiones relacionadas con la reestructura-
ción del país. El aporte personal de Fidel a la
primeros años consecutivos a la victoria de la
Revolución habia que dar a las masas trabaja-
doras la posibilidad de palpar inmediatamen-.
te los frutos de esa victoria, sus resultados
prácticos. Y en un país subdesarrollado, atra-
sado, se buscaron los recursos para construir
una vasta red de hospitales y escuelas.
Los sistemas de salud pública y educación,
creados en breve plazo, son hoy los mejores de
América Latina. Pero una reestructuración de
la economía tan rápida y profunda no podia,
naturalmente, llevarse a cabo sin dificultades
ni errores. Hay que reconocerlo: Fidel ha
admitido más de una vez lo erróneo de
algunas decisiones, y eso únicamente ha refor-
zado su autoridad entre el pueblo.

Una cualidad relevante de Fidel es, a mi
entender, que sabe inculcar a la gente una fe
inquebrantable
en la victoria de su causa. La

todo lo ideado se hará realidad.

pesar (a pesar también de los esfuerzos
realizados por el gobierno) por causas
insuperables fue imposible emprender

(Viene de la página 43) una obra
originalísima, 
que sin duda alguna
llamará 
la atención también de los
historiadores 
latinoamericanos.
Pregunta: ¿Por qué eligió usted
precisamente ese tema?
Leónov: La historia de Centre
rica
gana
queños países a quienes los grandes
"manejaban" corno les daba la
Y en segundo, quería rendir tributo de
respeto al gran historiador y científico
guatemalteco Victor Manuel Gutié
ricz, un 
hombre de extraordinaria
honradeze inaudita valentia, quien
me inculcó el cariño a la América
Central y me regaló un parte de su
biblioteca particular, Entonces me di-
jo unas palabras que resultaron profe
ticas: "Por lo que se ve, ni yo ni mis
compañeros podremos ya escribir
acerca de la sufridisima América Cen-
tral Tal vez eso lo hagas tú".
Victor Manuel sucumbió en las
mazmorras de la dictadura guatemal-
teca. Y esas palabras suyas devinieron
para mi un mandato, que yo conside
raba indispensable cumplir.
Pregunta: ¿Qué enseñanzas puede
sacar la humanidad, a entender de
usted, de la experiencia histórica de
América Central?
Leónov: La historia de cada país,
aunque sea pequeño, y más aún la de
toda una subregión, es aleccionadora.
Lo importante es seleccionar los pro-
blemas y acontecimientos significantes
que caractericen con más plenitud las
peculiaridades del desarrollo histórico
de esos países precisamente.
A mi me parece que América Cen-
tral, ante todo, da una lección de
lucha por la unidad. Toda su historia
es la mejor confirmación de una vieja
y sabia verdad: "La unión hace la
fuerza".
Al mismo tiempo, al analizar la
lucha por la unidad en América Cen-
tral, se llega a la conclusión de que
la
unidad por sí misma no es un bien o
un mal. Todo depende de en interés
de quién se realiza. En las condiciones
históricas concretas del siglo XIX, la
lucha unionista de Francisco Morazán
y Justo Rufino Barros era, sin duda,
un fenómeno progre, pues se man-
tenia bajo las 
cons que postula-
ban la 
defensa de las jependencia de
la región, el aceleradesarrollo socio-
económico y la ampliación de la de-
mocracia. Pero no se debe olvidar que
también el aventurero norteamerica-
no Willian Walker, que se apoderara
de Nicaragua, lanzó asimismo la con-
signa de la unidad centroamericana:
"Cinco o ninguna!", pero a base del
restablecimiento de la esclavitud de
la supeditación absoluta de esa región
a los Estados Unidos. Los pueblos de
América Latina rechazaron y rechaza-
rán la unidad en tales condiciones.
y
Quisiera señalar otra importante
enseñanza que se puede sacar al estu-
diar la historia de América Central: la
importancia que tiene valorar y com-
prender a tiempo a los grandes patrio-
tas y luchadores por la libertad, apo
yarlos cuando aún están vivos. Por
trágica ironía de la suerte, todos los
verdaderos héroes de América Central
fueron ejecutados o asesinados por
compatriotas suyos, cuyos descendien-
tes hoy idolatran literalmente a aqué-
llos. Esos héroes son hoy la gloria y el
orgullo de las naciones. Pero como
suele acaecer con frecuencia, el reco-
nocimiento y la comprensión de sus
ideales llegaron sólo muchos años des
pués de haber muerto ellos.
Pregunta: En el libro de usted se
menciona con bastante frecuencia a
los Estados Unidos. ¿Qué podría decir
usted del papel de los mismos en la
història de América Central?
Leónov: A mi entender, la noción
más plena sobre la política de los
EE.UU. en esa subregión la dan las
instrucciones redactadas por el Depar
tamento de Estado para William Jef-
fers, el primer enviado extraordinario
de los EE.UU. en América Central. Se
decía en ellas que Centroamérica ofre-
cía un interés singular para los
EE.UU. debido a la situación geográ-
Gea de la misma y a la posibilidad de
Central. En particular se decía en elias
que el bajo nivel de desarrollo indus
trial y la necesidad de capitales y de
hombres diestros debían poner a Amé-
rica. Central, para largo tiempo, en.
dependencia de los suministros ex-
tranjeros de diversas mercancías
Ofrece interés en este plano, a
gran
mi entender, el discurso que pronun-
ciara el 14 de septiembre de 1853 el
enviado extraordinario norteamerica-
no en Nicaragua, Solon Berlund, al
hacer entrega de sus cartas credencia
les. Declaró sin ambigüedades que la
nación que ocupaba tan favorable
posición geográfica no podia drecer
esa riqueza sólo y exclusivamente en
su propio interés, cerrando el acceso a
todas las demás.
Mientras tanto, el enviado extraor-
dinario mexicano en América Central
(con residencia en Guatemala) escri
bla a México el 1 de abril de 1854 que
los norteamericanos no ponían freno a
sus actividades y con una insolencia
inaudita procuraban el dominio de
todo el subcontinente, apoderarse de
el, por lo que crecía la necesidad de
dar otro giro a las relaciones entre los
Estados hispanoamericanos, pues se
trataba 
ya de defenderse, mediante la
creación de alianzas militares, de la
catástrofe que les amenazaba.
Pregunta: Por cierto, ya que se ha
tratado de México, ¿qué influencia
ejerció éste, a juicio de usted, en el
desarrollo del acontecer en América
Central?
Leónov: Se dio el caso de que en
algunos periodos, bajo la presión reac-
cionaria, México actuó en la región de
común acuerdo con los EE.UU. Así
fue, por ejemplo, en los tiempos de la
lucha de Justo Rufino Barrios
por la
reunificación de América Central
(1871-1885). Pero en general, el papel
de México ha sido progresista. No
cabe ninguna duda de el aconte
cer en México ejerció crecuencia
una gran influencia pa en sus
vecinos meridionales. C ejemplo
aduciré aunque no sea más que el
periodo de las Reformas en Guatema-
la, parecido al periodo de las transfor-
maciones realizadas en México
Juárez, quien simpatizaba con
correligionarios políticos en aquel país
y los ayudaba.
por
Sus
Recordaré asimismo que precisa-
mente a bordo de un buque de guerra
mexicano marchó al exilio José Santos
Zelaya, presidente de Nicaragua de-
puesto bajo la presión de los EE.UU.
Y en los años veinte de nuestro siglo,
el gobierno de México concedió a
Sandino y a
sus compañeros más
inmediatos en los tiempos más duros
para ellos la posibilidad de entrar en
México para descansar y curarse y
hasta se encargó del mantenimiento
de los mismos.
Con frecuencia México hubo de
hacer equilibrios en sus relaciones mu-
tuas con sus vecinos norteño y meri-
dionales. Así, explicando el porqué se
había 
negado la ayuda en armas y
municiones a los patriotas nicaragüen-
ses, el expresidente mexicano Portes
Gil decía en sus memorias que aunque
el gobierno y el pueblo de México
simpatizaban con la lucha de aqué-
llos, e no había podido entregarles
armas, ya que durante los últimos dos
años México mantenia las relaciones
más cordiales con los Estados Unidos
y él no debía dar ningún paso que
redundara en perjuicio de dichas rela-
ciones...
Para terminar le pregunto a Nikolái
Leónov qué quisiera transmitir & a
sus numerosos amigos en México
"Mis más cordiales, más fervientes y
más sinceros votos de felicidad, éxitos
y salud", responde. A continuación

SUBJECT: Nikolay Sergeyevich Leonov, KGB Officer and Personal Friend
of Fidel Castro of Guba.
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. I'n this photograph I definitely recognize
KGB officer Nikolay Sergeyevich Leonov. I knew
(FCD).
Leonov in Moscow as a KGB officer of the First Chief Directorate A 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 Lemnov worked. (Copy of this
photo is enclosed)
2. I recognized another photo of Leonov, N.S., in the late 1950's or
beginning of the 1960's for the Agency or the FBI.
the
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
(also known to one personally as a KGB SENIOR officer)
Alekseyev (Shitov) Aleksandr Ivanovich, 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. (Copy of this

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.
1
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.
&.
Petr Deryabin
CIFA/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.

Attached is the second 1IREAIM progress report, which
covers largely the period Juring which Robert L. EASBY
has assumed the handling of this agent. It will be noted
that the main headings are those laid out in the statement
of objectives forwarded with reference B.
Each month, LIREALM gives EASBY a list of new contacts, a
brief sketch of each, and any ideas he has on how they
might be used to get at his main targets. These aro
routinely traced in order to give him indications of people
of particular interest, or of possible danger to his cover.
For example, when he listed Charles and Bertha SHALL as
persons he had net at an art exhibit, he was told to avoid
then and their group unless at a social function where they
could not be avoided. We have no desire to have ODENVY
open a dossier on him.
Of the attached listed contacts, Station has traces only
on the following:

reported she is in charge of "medical relations"
and scholarships at the French Embassy, The
only other information in the files is that
provided by Albert de BONFILS in June 1952
through a casual Station contact. Sinco we
were never in direct touch with him, and owing
to the questionable nature of the whole BONFILS
background and the lack of any solidity, thio
information must be accepted with some reserve.
"Extreme Communist--propagandist--extronely
dangerous--bad influence on scholarship students
whom she uses as instruments and contacts--hoad
of the scholarship service--much favoritism in
the distribution of scholarships--accepts and
demands gifts and money--obliges certain appli-
cants to take French lessons which she gives
and charges for. These lessons are her method
of indoctrinating them."

The period October 1965 to February 1966 was largely
devoted to building a circle of useful contacts in
the French colony and intellectual world and getting
to know the case officer. When the latter left in
early 1966, I was introduced to my present case
officer. Past activity was reviewed and evaluated,
targets discussed and objectives clearly defined.
The following will give some indication of advances
made so far against the target objectives laid out
in HMMA-28838:
a.
b.
French Embassy floor plan. Under various
pretexts, numerous visits have been made to
the Embassy. A rough diagram is ready with
the occupants of most of the offices identi-
fied. Remodeling of the building is in
process. Some officers will be transferred
from one room to another. The basic structure
of the building will not be altered.
Contacts leading toward the French targot.
Those persons Daned below have all been mot
at least once during April and are deemed to
be worthy of further development for their
apparent access in the French community. This
number represents only a fraction of persona
met and virtually discarded for lack of opera-
tional promise:

Нужно немало поколесить по Лиме, прежде чем выберешь-
ся на окраины города. На одной из них, на пустыре возводит-
ся новое здание министерства энергетики и горнорудной
промышленности Перу. Раньше, такого министерства не суще-
ствовало, так как соответствующие отрасли народного хо-
зяйства были на откупе у монополий США. Но времена ме-
няются. Перуанцы не только берут под свой контроль ино-
странные капиталовложения в столь жизненно важной сфере
народного хозяйства, но намерены сами управлять
отраслью выи экономики своей страны.
этой
Третий этаж здания еще в лесах, крыши нет. Кругом
Лязг и грохот, как на всяком строительстве. А в цоколь
ном и первом этажах уже кипит работа. Сотрудники нового
министерства разрабатывают основы политики в области энер-
гетики и горнорудного дела.

Министр Хорхе Фернандес Мальдонадо, в январе этого
года произведенный из полковников в генералы, один из
активных участников переворота 3 октября 1968 года. Он
согласился встретиться с корреспондентом АПН. Кабинот
министра находится в полуподвальном помещении. Ни прием-
ной, ни секретарей. Внутри - скромная мебель. За столом

-Каковы будут главные принципи политики правительства
в отих важных отраслях экономики? - Спросили мы министра.
Революционное правительство намерено обеспечить
эксплуатацию горнорудных богатств в интересах страны. На-
ходясь в руках частного капитала, эти богатства нередко
служили спекулятивным целям, заявил он. - Мы примем
законы которые в обязательном порядке заставят концес-
• Сионеров разрабатывать месторождения и не позволят приоб-
ретать за бесценек право собственности на эксплуатируе-
мые месторождения.
'
-
Мы надеемся развивать мелкие и средние предприятия,
росту которых будут содействовать и налоговые льготы, и
особенно наша кредитная политика, система государственно-
го строительства дорог, геологических исоледований и т.д.
Конечно, - подчеркивает министр, это не значит, что мы

-
И, когда их деятельность не будет проти-
сам нации.
Учитывая частые заявления прессы и политических дея-
телей США о том, что в Перу-до начинаются "топения" на
американские капиталы, мы поинтересовались у министра,
чем обоснованы подобные заявления.
донадо,
На иностранный капитал, ответил Фернандес Маль-
-
у нас не накладывается других ограничений, кро-
•ме необходимости подчиняться перуанским законам. Мы на-
церены создать из разрозненных законоположений единый
14-00000
кодекс норм, регулируюция деятельность иностранцев. Этот
кодекс охватывает проблемы налогообложения и контроля
над использованием залютных средств, вопросы техники
безопасности и гигиены труда, основы взаимоотношений неж-
ду иностранными концессионерами и рабочими и т.д.
В области ископаемых энергетических ресурсов (нефть,
газ, уголь) государство оставляет за собой преимущест-
венное право, добычи, обработки и реализации продукции.
Основная нефтехимическая промышленность также будет
принадлежать государству. Революционное правительство
заявило: частный капитал будет допускаться только на ос-
нове временных производственных контрактов.
Касаясь перспектив укрепления энергетической базы
страны, министр сказал, что сейчас в центральной части
Кордильер ведется строительство гидроэлектростанции.
Мощность первой очереди составит 325 тыс.киловатт. За-
тем она будет доведена до 1 млн.кет. Осуществление мно-
гих других проектов, имеющихся в портфеле министерства,
пока задерживается из-за напряженности - платежном ба-
лансе страны. Специалисты министерства работают над
проблемой быстрейшего использования для выработки электро-
энергии попутных газов нефтяных месторождений.
"
Министр говорит о том, что придет время, когда Перу
наберстает потерянное и сможет приступить к использованию
ядерной энергии в народном хозяйстве. Для выполнения
стране
намеченных планов Потребуется экономическая и тех-
ническая помощь извне, и любое участие СССР в этой об-
ласти будет приветствоваться.
Путь революции не усыпан розами, но мы готовы
идти по нему вперед, невзирая на разные уколы и занозы
сказал министр в заключение встречи.

EL CASO LEONOV
AFKA 10204
•
Nikolay Sergeyevich LEONOV arribó a Lima el dia 23 de Abril
de 1969. LEONOV, subdirector del servicio de prensa NOVOSTI en
Latino-America, es experto en asuntos latino-americanos. Y también
es alto oficial de la KGB, el servicio secreto de inteligencia
de la Unión Soviética. Durante su estada de diez años en Mexico,
funcionaba como segundo secretario y agregado de prensa de la
Embajada Soviética para dirigir ei curso y financiamente del apoyo
clandestino'de la Unión Soviética a todos los partidos comunistas
de Latino-America. Si estos años de actividad subversiva muestran
indicios del papel que desempeñó como representante oficial del
gobierno soviético (y así lo indican los contactos que tom6) se
puede suponer que el propósito de su misión en Lima no consiste.
meramente en informar al pueblo soviético sobre el Peru y los
.Peruanos.
གམ་གས།།
.
Las actividades de LEONOV tambien incluven apoyo a los
movimientos guerrilleros. Como se vera, en Abril de 1968, mientras
que desempeñaba su misión como oficial de la Embajada Soviética en
Mexico, LEONOV 'fue identificado como el diplomático soviético que
entregó más de cien mil dólares al colombiano Feliciano Pachon
Choconta para uso de la FARC v el ELN. PACHON fué capturado al
ingresar a Colombia con este dinero. (Al ser capturado PACHON,
se le incautó ún trozo de papel que contenía la dirección de la
oficina de LEONOV. en Mexico en la Avenida Mazatlán.) Como una.
prueba más de su complicidad en este caso, Moscu ordenó su regreso
inmediato cuandó el citado asunto fué desenmascarado por la prensa.
Pero, a pesar del riesgo que acarreaba la publicación de dicho
incidente, de conducir a la ofensiva diplomática de los soviéticos
en Latino-America hacia un fracaso, el régimen soviético persistió
en su propósito de alentar la subversión en nuestro continente y
para lograr su objetivo nos ha enviado a LEONOV por segunda vez.
El 23 de Abril; cuando se encontraba de tránsito en Bogotá, tomó
contacto en el aeropuerto con varios miembros de la unidad clandestina
del Partido Comunista de Colombia. Se presume que en esta ocasión
se discutió sobre la presunta complicidad de LEONOV y su dirección
de los nuevos frentes guerrilleros que vienen operando en la frontera
panameña-costarricense, así como también de los
grupos, en Venezuela y Colombia y los terroristas en Puerto Rico.
A su'arribo a Lima el mismo día, LEONOV se reunió con los
representantes locales a quienes dió a conocer su plan de establecer
oficialmente un despacho de NOVOSTI en Lima---un bien establecido
método de los soviéticos para sentar la base legal y abierta que
luego se emplea para ocultar el verdadero propósito de los soviéticos
que es la dirección y financiacion de la actividad subversiva.
(Hasta la fecha no menos de cien representantes de la prensa
soviética han sido publicamente desenmascarados como agentes de
espionage en diversos paises del mundo. Treintaidos de estos fueron
expulsados como persona non grata, incluso quince que operaban en
Latino-America.)
LEONOV no ha perdido cualquier oportunidad para establecer
sus contactos.. De fuentes fidedignas bien informadas en Mexico
se destaca que LEONOV ha tomado contacto en el Peru con estos
miembros del PCP: Jorge Vladimiro del PRADO, Raul ACOSTA Salas;
Isidoro BAMARRA Ramirez; Mariano Eleuterio MUNIZ Yabar; y con los
activistas, del. FLN, Pedro Anibal MOROTE Cornejo; Angel CASTRO
Lavarello; Walter SOLORZANO; Jesus HORNA Galvan; Purificacion ROMERO
Esquivel; y Amelia FLORES, Ademas, ha visitado en Piura y Talara
donde tomó fotografias de las instalaciones petroleras; y en Pisco
y Tambo de Mora donde estableció contacto oon los sindicatos de.
obreras pesqueros; y en junio viajó tambien a Arequipa v Čuzco.

con Fidel Castro y Che Guevara. Como entonces no existian relaciones
diplomáticas entre la Unión Soviética y los paises de Centro-America,
ni tampoco con los de la costa norte de Sud America, uno de los
cargos principales de LEONOV era coordinar con los cubanos la
guerrilla armada, y especialmente en Venezuela y Colombia. Ademas
LEONOV era el especialista de la Embajada Soviética en Mexico en
las actividades con los exiliados comunistas que vivían en esa
capital. Interesa saber que en 1961 LEONOV viajó a Cuba con el
cargo especial de actuar como interprete en las charlas secretas
sostenidas entre Fidel Castro y el entonces representante soviético
a las Naciones Unidas, Anastas Mikoyan. No cabe duda de que entre
la Unión Soviética y Cuba existen diferencias ideología y táctica,
pero en lo que se refiere al establecimiento clandestino de focos
guerrilleros en Centro-y Sud America, existe amplia evidencia de
estrecha cooperación entre los dos gobiernos y del financiamiento
soviético de estas operaciones. El caso Pachon, previamente citado
en este informé qonfidencial, es uno de los muchos que se divulgó
· publicamente; gracias a la diligencia del servicio nacional de
seguridad de Colombia. El interés de Cuba por los hechos que ocurren
en el Perú sin, duda' estarian ligados a la presencia de LEONOV aqui
y con sus largos y frecuentes finues al interior. Ocurre preguntar: ¿
se le permitiría a un periodista peruano tomar fotografías de
refinerias de petroleo en la Union Sovietica, tal como lo ha hecho
LEONOV en el Peru? ¿Se le permitiría a un diplomático o periodista
peruano viajar tan. libre y extensivamente por la Unión Soviética
pretextando estar reuniendo informaciones y articulos para NOVOSTI?
¿Existe alguna relación entre los desordenes provacados por
estudiantes y, campesinos que se vienen desencadenando en el interior
del país y los extensos viajes de LEONOV a esta región? La
respuesta pareceria lógica si se toma en cuenta la vasta experiencia
de este agente en las actividades subversivas. Y más lógica aparece
Vla conclusión cuando se sabe que estableció contacto clandestino
en el Perú con el comunista Pedro Anibal Morote Cornejo, citado en
los primeros parrafos de este informe, que también es miembro y
dirigente del FLN. Morote se entrenó en la guerra de guerrillas
'en Cuba en 1962 y a petición personal de Fidel Castro se unió al
FLN para actuar como enfermero. Ahora se encuentra en el Perú y
ha tomado contacto con LEONOV. Precisa preguntar por qué, y para

Monograph of Nikolay Sergeyevich LEONOV
Nikolay Sergeyevich LEONOV, the Soviet official
who visited Peru from 23 April 1969 to 17 July 1969
as a representative of the Soviet news agency NOVOSTI,
is a long-time,firmly identified KGB officer who
served in Mexico during most of the period 1953-1963.
Although he was able to function effectively in his
overt jobs as Cultural Attache and later Press Attache,
he was consistently active in clandestine support of
Latin American revolutionary and subversive activities,
particularly relating to Guatemala. Following are
details of his career.
LEONOV was born 22 August 1928 in Ryazan oblast,
USSR. His wife, Valeriya Ivanovna, was born 28 April
1928 in Ryazan. As of 1968 the LEONOVs had one daughter,
Irina, born in 1962.
LEONOV was first posted to the Soviet Embassy in
Mexico in May 1953. His initial position was secretary
to the Soviet Ambassador. In addition to administrative
duties and cultural matters, LEONOV functioned as a
translator and interpreter, since he spoke excellent
Spanish.
14-00000
- 2
Two of LEONOV's most interesting contacts from
his first tour in Mexico were:
B.
Fidel CASTRO. CASTRO, who was in exile in
Mexico from 1953-56, was arrested by the
Mexican police in June 1956, and a polico
search revealed LEONOV's calling card in
CASTRO's possession.
b. Bernardo LEHUS Mendoza. LEMUS, an important
Guatemalan Communist youth leader, was a close
friend of LEONOV's dating from the period
1953-58, during part of which time LEMUS was
in exile in Mexico. 2 LIMUS, who was a friend
and former prison-mate of Raul CASTRO, allegedly
conducted liaison in Mexico City during 1955-56
between the Cuban Communist Party exiles and
the Fidel CASTRO group.
LEONOV and his wife departed Mexico City on 17 October
1956 for the USSR, where they remained until their return to
Mexico in 1961. While in the USSR, LEONOV was used for
important interpreting chores; most notably, he accompanied.
Soviet Vice Premier Anastas MIKOYAN on his trips to Mexico
and Cuba in November 1959 and February 1960. During the
14-00000
February 1960 trip to Cuba, LEONOV first met Ricardo
MIRANDA Aldana, Guatemalan Communist and revolutionary
who was then in Cuba recovering from wounds received
in a Cuban-sponsored, Nicaraguan-led movement to over-
throw Nicaragua's President, General Somosa. Leonov
was to have later clandestine contact with MIRANDA in
Mexico.
On 31 July 1961, the LEONOVS returned to Mexico.
This time, LEONOV was listed as Third Secretary and worked
as assistant to the Cultural Affairs Officer, Svyatoslav
Fedorovich KUZNETSOV. A KGB officer KUZNETSOV is, as of
this writing, once again serving in Mexico, this time
as First Secretary of the Soviet Embassy.
During this tour of duty, LEONOV's particular res-
ponsibility for support of the Guatemalan revolutionary
effort began to emerge. In January 1962, Ricardo MIRANDA
Aldana, Guatemalan revolutionary mentioned above, passed
through Mexico City on his way to Cuba for guerrilla
training. MIRANDA, reported to be in charge of accumu-
lating arms for the activist arm of the PGT (Guatemalan
Communist Party), brought to Mexico a message for the
Soviets. He delivered this message to the leading Guate-
malan exile in Mexico in direct touch with the Soviets,
Victor Manuel GUTIERREZ, who passed it to his Soviet
Embassy Conta@t. During MIRANDA's stay in Mexico, LEONOV
him. MIRANDA returned to Guatemala from Cuba

in October 1963 and thereafter took a leading role
in PGT/FAR guerrilla actions. As of 1965, he was
a member of the Military Commission of the PGT and
conducted terrorist actions. He had in his posses-
sion at that time sketches of the homes of various
Guatemalan officials who were on the PGT/FAR assas-
sination list. MIRANDA was arrested in September
1965 on charges of assassination of two Guatemalan
businessmen. He apparently was released, or escaped,
about mid-1966. He left Guatemala, and is believed
to have gone to Mexico and to have had clandestine
3
contact with LEONOV there in December 1966. MIRANDA
returned to Guatemala after spending some time in
El Salvador, and was killed on 3 May 1967 near Guatemala
City by unknown assailants.
In 1963, LEONOV was also in clandestine contact
with a former Mexican army officer named Lorenzo
CARDENAS Barajas, who was heavily involved in the pro- *
curement of arms for the Guatemalan revolutionaries.
CARDENAS, a fervent adherent of the revolutionary left,
had contact with Victor N. GLOTOV, another KGB officer
in the Soviet Embassy, Mexico, as well as LEONOV. LEONOV
is known to have met CARDENAS clandestinely two days
before LEONOV left for the USSR on vacation on 21 April 1963.
i
14-00000
LEONOV is believed still to have been in contact with
5
CARDENAS as recently as March 1987. In recent years,
CARDENAS has been active in the Movimiento Latinoamericano
de Liberacion, a Latin American revolutionary organization
founded in Mexico in 1964 and headed by Guillermo CARNERO
Hoke, a Peruvian who has spent many years in exile in
Mexico, and is now back in Peru. CARDENAS' activities
have involved agitation among Mexican students and peasants,
which led increasing difficulties with the police, and he
claims to have asked for asylum in Peru in 1968.
6
LEONOV and his family went on home leave to the
USSR 21 April 1963 to 20 July 1963. During this leave,
LEONOV renewed an old acquaintance with Fidel CASTRO, serving
as CASTRO's interpreter in the USSR in May 1963. After home
leave, LEONOV returned to Mexico, where he remained (except
for two more trips to the USSR in 1964 and 1966) until 22
December 1968, when he and his family departed permanently
from Mexico. Upon his return to Mexico from home leave in

1964, LEONOV was promoted to Second Secretary and Press
Attache at the Soviet Embassy.

his living quarters, he spent a great deal of time at
the Soviet Embassy proper, going out frequently for his
many meetings. He was popular among his wide contacts
among newspapermen in Mexico and his most intimate press
contact was Luis SUAREZ Lopez, a Spanish Communist journa-
list with the Marxist weekly magazine, Siempre. LEONOV
saw SUAREZ very frequently on press placements and possibly
other matters. SUAREZ has a long history of pro-Soviet
activities, is a member of the Communist front International
Organization of Journalists, and has traveled extensively
in the Soviet bloc, Communist China, and Cuba.
As to LEONOV's personality, he has a pleasant, out-
going manner, is extremely intelligent, and gets along well
with both his colleagues, and his numerous outside contacts.
He is hard-working, generally accommodating to people, and
is a good conversationalist. He enjoys playing tennis,
volleyball and soccer. He also likes to hunt and fish,
and enjoys chess. In addition to excellent Spanish, he speaks
English. On the negative side, LEONOV gets along badly with
his wife; they often quarrel violently, and be neglects her
for his numerous sports and social activities. He is also
장
quite unkind and cutting with those whom he regards as his
14-00000
intellectual inferiors, treating them quite rudely when
7, 8, 9, 10
he is in a bad mood.
As Press Attache, LEONOV had the pretext for contact
with many people with whom he had apparently innocuous
relationships, but probably developed for intelligence
purposes.
As an example, he had close contact with Victor RICO
Galan, a Spanish-born, naturalized Mexican Communist
journalist, who has very close ties to both the Guatemalan
11
revolutionary movement and the Cubans. RICO was a
founding member in 1962 of the MLN, a pro-Cuban Communist
front organization. A regular writer for Siempre and
Politica magazines, RICO acted, in Spring of 1965, as
the Radio Havana representative in Mexico for coverage
of the Dominican situation. LEONOV consulted frequently
with him at this time, meeting in RICO's home or in cafes.
LEONOV also established direct contact with certain
12
Dominican exiles through RICO. In August 1966,
RICO was arrested and imprisoned because of his leading
role in the Movimiento Revolucionario del Pueblo, which
had been organizing an armed insurgent movement in the
14
Mexican countryside. This movement was reported to have
secret radio contact with Cuba. RICO was arrested as he
15.
was about to board a flight to Cuba.
14-00000
Other LEONOV's Mexican contacts of particular
interest are:
Roberto JARAMILLO Flores, Mexican former President
of the youth Section of the Mexican Socialist
Party (JPS), and in 1967 involved with the revo-
lutionary Students Front, youth affiliate of the
National Organization of Revolutionary Action.
JARAMILLO and LEONOV were in frequent contact,
particularly in 1963-64, on matters involving
the JPS, over which the Soviets were exerting
16
active control.
Juan REJANO Porras, Spaniard, member of the Central Con-
mittee of the Spanish Communist Party, leading intellectual
and poot. REJANO and LEONOV had been in regular contact
since at least 1965. Meetings between them were arranged
through a third person, another Spanish Communist employed
in LEONOV's Press Office.
REJANO was, as of 1968, editor
of the Czech Bulletin, published in Mexico by the Czech
Embassy.
17
Enrique SEMO Calev, Bulgarian-born long-time member of
the Mexican Communist Party. LEONOV and SEMO had frequent
social contact, as well as dealings on press and cultural
matters. SEMO assisted LEONOV in developing social contacts
18
outside of his normal area of access.
14-00000
A particularly interesting foreign contact of
LEONOV's was Carlos BONILLA Sanchez, Communist
labor leader from Colombia. He and LEONOV, re-
portedly close friends, were in correspondence
during 1966–67. BONILLA was President of the
Federacion Sindical de Trabajadores de Cundinamarca ·
(FESTRAC) until November 1964, when he was removed
because of his Communist sympathies. He visited
Cuba at the special invitation of Fidel CASTRO
19,20
in November 1964, transiting Mexico on the way,
where LEONOV was at that time. It should also be
noted that LEONOV traveled to Lima on 23 April 1969
via Bogota.
LEONOV's connections with Feliciano PACHON Choconta,
Colombian Communist courier arrested in April 1968,
have been discussed in a paper previously provided
to you, and so will not be repeated here.
Although LEONOV's sphere of KGB activity obviously
broadened considerably over the years, as he gained
contacts and area knowledge; his involvement with Guatemalan
matters continued throughout his long stay in Mexico.
As recently as 1968, he was reliably reported to still be
the main clandestine Soviet contact for the Guatemalan
14
Communists in Mexico.

-
The LEONOVS left Mexico permanently on 22 December 1968,
and returned to the USSR.
LEONOV, during his years in Mexico, showed himself
to be a capable, hard-working intelligence officer, who
was able to fulfill his cover job with skill and at the
same time pursue his clandestine missions. It may be
presumed, on the basis of his capacities demonstrated
in Mexico, that he will have worked effectively in his
apparent task of setting up the Novosti news agency in
Peru, and that he will also have begun to develop contacts
among the Peruvian Communist Party and other sympathetic
elements with an eye to spotting and assessing prospective
agents for subsequent exploitation by the KGB reszidentura
which will inevitably function as a part of the new Soviet
Embassy.

1.
1. With one exception (HGGW-4035, 2 Dec 66), the
personality and biographic report on LEONOV is based
entirely on Mexico City reporting. Much of this appears
to be quite sensitive if passage to Peru liaison is in-
tended.
2. Since the report concerns a Soviet official, the
fact that the report is based upon WH Division material
exclusively appears to be self-limiting and, possibly, self-
defesting.
3. Although the writer of the report refers to its
acceptability to SB Division, there is no SB coordinator.
4. It would appear that, to achieve the desired result
(and we don't really know what this is), it would not be
necessary to go into such exacting detail. A more generalized
report, following more or less an AEASSAULT format, might
achieve the results desired by Station Lima without the pit-
falls of utilizing the sensitive material incorporated in the
present compilation.

it not be more appropriate to ask Station's opinions only

to para 2 with 8B Division and the Guatemalan Desk, the first
inkling this Branch got of the paper is when the dispatch
arrived on my desk.

some potential danger to the Mexico Station clandestine sources:

SONILLA Sanchez and LEONOV "being in
correspondence" implies mail intercept
(LIMUD) which it is.
LIREBEL-2 is a sensitive source and about
the main source right now on Guatemalan
exile activities.
The last sentence might
implicate his. At least it tells the
Peruvians that CIA has a penetration here.
It tells the Peruvians that the Station (CIA)
Mexico has phone tape, mail intercepts, pene-
tration of the Cuban 18, penetration of
Guatemalan exiles, surveillance and police
liaison.
It concentrates throughout Ebat the information
was developed by coverage of LEONOV while he
Was stationed in Mexico. These activities
are treated in specific terms whereas his
activities outside Mexico are treated in a very
general manner.
The Branch would prefer to have the paper re-
written omitting all specific dates and
references which reveal the clandestine col-
lection technique which produced the information,
14-00000
and should incorporate AEASSAULT information
and be coordinated with SB Division in writing.
It might be pointed out that previous efforts
to "bura" LEONOV have not been successful.

Conversations between DULINDEN-11 and Nikolay S. Leonov and DULAUREL-1
ACTION REQUIRED - REFERENCES
Action Required: FYI
1. On 15 July after leaving a local publisher's offica
DULINDEN-11 drove Nikolay S. Leonov to B hotel. DULAUREL-1 who
accompanied them to the publisher's office was left at her home
and DULINDEN-11 and Leonov were alone during the course of the drive.
Leonov proceeded to ask DULINDEN-11 various questions about his
private life including his economic situation and also queried him
about his future goals in life. DULINDEN-11 responded to all
questions and said he enjoyed his work with DULAUREL-1 and was
interested in journalism and felt that he had learned quite a bit
in the short time he has been involved in assisting DULAUREL-1
with Panorama Internacional. He said that he did not work with
DULAUREL-1 for money alone but because he saw this as an oppor-
tunity to improve himself which would eventually lead to an improve-
ment in his economic standard. DULINDEN-11 said that it was a
relaxed conversation, Leonov was very friendly and appeared to be
interested in DULINDEN-11's goals and aspirations.
2.
On 16 July DULINDEN-11 saw DULAUREL-1 am the latter asked
him how his conversation went with Leonov. DULINDEN-11 gave
DULAUREL-1 a summary of what had been discussed and commented that
Leonov appeared to have a genuine interest in his future. DULAUREL-1
then told DULINDEN-11 that previously she had a rather lengthy
conversation with Leonov about DULINDEN-11 and told Leonov the
problems he had with the party, the accusations made against him,
her conversations with DULINDEN-11 during this period and the
investigation she had conducted while DULINDEN-11 was under party
control. Leonov told DULAUREL-1 the fact that DULINDEN-11 was
under party control is of no significance and once again re-iterated
his general disgust with the party leadership.

3. It appears from the foregoing that DULAUREL-1 arranged
the circumstances which led to the private conversation between
Leonov and DULINDEN-11. The above "interest" displayed by Leonov
in DULINDEN-11 might be nothing more than politeness on his part
but the Station believes that DULINDEN-11 is undergoing an assess-
ment by Leonov, DULAUREL-1 and Valeriy V. Volkov and at least up
to this juncture apparently has made a favorable impression.
