Question: Where did Artamonov say he went on vacation?
About the article "Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria", section "Russian military attaché's office".

Candidate passages:
Apis's confession to ordering the assassination of Franz Ferdinand states that Russian Military Attaché Artamonov promised Russia's protection from Austria-Hungary if Serbia's intelligence operations became exposed and that Russia had funded the assassination.
Artamonov denied the involvement of his office in an interview with Albertini.
Artamonov stated that he went on vacation to Italy leaving Assistant Military Attaché Alexander Werchovsky in charge and though he was in daily contact with Apis he did not learn of Apis's role until after the war had ended.
Albertini writes that he “remained unconvinced by the behavior of this officer.” Werchovsky admitted the involvement of his office and then fell silent on the subject.
There is evidence that Russia was at least aware of the plot before 14 June.

Sergeant Gilles G. Brunet was a career officer in Canada's Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
In 1972 American suspicions had triggered one of Brunet's colleagues, Leslie James Bennett, to lose his security clearance, leading to his dismissal.
A year after Brunet's death a Soviet defector named Vitaly Sergeyevich Yurchenko would clear Bennett, and assert that Brunet was the mole.
Brunet was the son of Josaphat Brunet, the first director of the RCMP Security Service.
According to "The Fifth Estate", Gilles Brunet lived beyond his means, and made frequent trips to Mexico.
His father would rise to the rank of Deputy Commissioner.
Brunet joined the RCMP Security Service in the early 1960s, and at first, seemed to show promise that would merit holding greater positions of trust.
He was offered Russian Language training, and did well.
He played a significant role in the conviction of Bower Featherstone, and won a promotion in 1966.
But Brunet was drinking too much, and his marriage was in trouble because his wife, correctly, believed he was sexually unfaithful to her.
According to "Secret Service: Political Policing in Canada -- from the Fenians to Fortress America" Brunet enlisted as a Soviet informant in January 1968.
Later in 1968, his wife, looking for traces of his infidelities, found a $2,000 payment from the Soviets in his car.
She reported the suspicious funds to the RCMP, and her report was dismissed because Brunet had warned colleagues that his jealous wife would say anything to bring him down.
Brunet betrayed Nikolai Artamonov a Soviet who had found political asylum in the USA.
After making his way to the USA, and seeking asylum, Artamonov started working with the Defense Intelligence Agency.
Soviet agent Igor Kochnov approached Artamonov, and invited him to return home.
While Artamonov pretended to agree, and to meet someone to handle his extraction, in Montreal, he informed his FBI handler.
Because the meet was in Canada the RCMP Security Service became involved, and Brunet told his handlers that Artamonov negotiations to return home were a trap.
No one was captured in Montreal, but the Soviets caught up with Artamonov two years later in Vienna, where he died of a drug overdose when they tried to abduct, drug and repatriate him.
Brunet was still receiving glowing performance reviews as late as 1972.
In 1973 however he and colleague, Donald McCreery, were fired in 1973, because it was believed they had ties to organized crime figures in Montreal.
After they were fired Brunet and McCreery founded a private security firm.
In 1977 Brunet and McCreery were key witnesses before the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Certain Activities of the RCMPAccording to in "Crimes by the Capitalist State", the pair testified about ""barn burning, the theft of documents, and 'participation and assistance to the CIA in offensive activities in Canada.
'""According to the "Historical Dictionary of Air Intelligence" Brunet still had knowledge of the handling of Soviet defectors in 1978.
The book asserts Brunet told his handlers that Vladimir Vetrov had not been emphatic in rejecting recruitment efforts by the RCMP, which triggered an investigation into Vetrov's loyalty to the Soviet Union, that, in turn, triggered hard feelings that lead him leak secrets about how the Soviets covertly copied western military and technology projects to French agents.
According to "Moles, Defectors, and Deceptions: James Angleton and CIA Counterintelligence" Brunet died of a heart attack shortly before the RCMP was going to interview him about whether he was a mole.
Some sources say he died in 1984, some say 1985.
Nigel West, in a book profiling the directors of Britain's MI6, asserted that the RCMP didn't begin investigating Brunet until their suspicions were confirmed by MI6.
West claimed ""SIS's contribution greatly enhanced the Service's standing across the Atlantic...""
