SECRET =. TseD SUSPICTONS CONCERNING IVAN YEFREMOV 2 wlVanRYEFREMOV, was one of the most prestigious and talented-RUSSian Scien fiction writers. He was also a Soviet scientist and paleontologist. Nearly every Russian home has a book written by YEFREMOV.

The story is as Sh follows. . y, about YEFREMOV from ~ Shortly after YEFREMOV's death in the 1980s, a man went to SCD Headquarters and asked for a meeting’ with KGB British specialists. The man claimed that he had been recruited by YEFREMOV: to work for British intelligence against the USSR. The source does not know whether the information’ was valid or not. After some investigation, however, the SCD concluded that YEFREMOV, although Russian, was acting as the British illegal resident in the USSR. The SCD believed that he may have been handling a network of Soviet agents. The SCD started to review his travels within the USSR and determined that his trips were always tq closed areas of the country. The source could ndt recall any additional details on | this case.

When the s: the source first joined the Second (British and ; ~—- Commonwealth) Department of the KGB's Second Chief Directorate (SCD) in 1982, he was allowed to read the original SCD files of the PENKOVSKIY case. The Second Department was directly responsible for investigating PENKOVSKIY, and they encourage new case officers to read.the file to enhance their knowledge and _. expertise. The source was’ required to get the permission of the. Chief of the Second Department (at that time Nikolai STEKLOV) to review the file. The PENKOVSKIY file consists of twelve or more thick ; volumes. Much of the file consists of rather tedious technical | and physical surveillance reports on PENKOVSKIY. | PENKOVSKIY first came under suspicion in 1960 during 2 ; period of time when the SCD decided to place total ‘surveillance ; on all British Embassy personnel and their families. The file : did not indicate why the SCD made this decision, and the source does not know the reason. According to the source, there was nothing in the file to suggest that information about PENKOVSKIY had leaked to the KGB, thereby prompting the SCD to initiate full 4 ~surveillance of all British nationals in the Embassy. The full surveillance of British Embassy personnel lasted for several days. Finally, one of the surveillance’ teams observed the wife of a British diplomat, who was not an intelligence officer, coming out of the entrance of a shabby Russian building. It appeared strange to the surveillance tean, . particularly because she was pregnant. They continued to watch the building: A few minutes later, a man emerged from the house. The KGB followed him with five or six men in two cars. They followed the man to an office building of the - State Committee for Science and Technology (GKNT). His entry into this office building fueled their suspicions. They subsequently identified the man as Oleg PENKOVSKIY. The SCD then thoroughly checked the entrance of the shabby Russian house and discovered a likely dead drop under a radiator. Investigation of PENKOVSKIY rapidly escalated. The SCD and KGB surveillance used a camera to film PENKOVSKIY's movements and activities. They observed that he acted in a very suspicious manner. SECRET HW 54934 Docld: 32383461 Page 5
SECREP— =. “ we, ie The SCD also equipped his living areas with cameras. The source does not know what types of cameras, but he was’ es certain they were primitive at that time. On one occasion, they observed him photographing or making a picture of an artillery guidance system. At that point, the SCD realized that they had to intercede, and he was arrested. The SCD had some thoughts about using him in a controlled double agent manner to entrap British or American intelligence personnel, but it was thought to be too risky in this case. From his review of the file, the source estimated that the entire investigation took about 6-8 months. After his arrest, PENKOVSKIY immediately informed the SCD of his contacts with Greville WYNNE and how he was handled by the CIA and British intelligence. He told the SCD that he first went to British intelligence, but they didn't believe him and thought he was a provocation. He then went to the Americans who , accepted him. Later, the British also ‘jointed the operation. During one of his foreign trips, the British made him an —~ "honorary" Army Colonel and gave him his choice of uniforms. The _SCD did not find any espionage paraphernalia. at PENKOVSKIY's workplace, probably because he was too experienced to make that : =mistake. -_ . KGB security officials in the First Chief Directorate (FCD) had previously noted that PENKOVSKIY exhibited behavior of possible security concern (e.g., too many girls and too much money), particularly during his tour in Turkey. The KGB's Third Chief Directorate, which was normally responsible for the investigations of GRU officers who are suspected of treason,. never seriously suspected PENKOVSKIY, however. PENKOVSKIY had excellent connections in the Soviet military through his wife's father, who was a highly-placed General in the Russian Army. These connections probably protected him. Following his arrest, PENKOVSKIY fully disclosed the extent of information he had passed to the Americans and British. He admitted passing vital information on the Soviet Union's strategic nuclear weapons and air defense systems. He also admitted passing information on GRU operations. _ NW 545934 Docld: 32989481 Page 6 a

wt svat ‘ “ SKGB PENETRATION OF MI-5 — Even before the publication of Peter Wright's book, "Spy Catcher," the source heard that the KGB previously had a mole in the high circles of British Counterintelligence (i.e., MI-5). The source heard about this KGB success from four separate sources. First, the source heard about this success from his instuctors in the Minsk Higher Counterintelligence School in 1981. These instructors were all retired intelligence and counterintelligence officers. Some of them dealt very closely with the British intelligence target. The only instructor the source could recall at this time was Colonel (first name unknown) \RORCHUK, who spent 10-12 years in_East Germany and was responsible for the flood of illegals from EaSt Berlin into West Berlin. She The~source did not believe these instructors at first. He assumed they were exaggerating such accomplishments for their own aggrandizement. Subsequently, however’, the source had a conversation “with his boss Nikolai STEKLOV, then chief of the Second (British and Commonwealth) Department of the KGB's Second Chief Directorate. STEKLOV told the source that the KGB did have. a very good success in:MI-5 at a certain period. The conversation with STEKLOV took place in the early 1980s, perhaps 1983. During this conversation, STEKLOV was recalling old cases and a personal meeting he once had with British defector Kim PHILBY. STEKLOV told the source, "Don't you know, there was a third man they couldn't detect. It was a guy who passed all information he could and was as reliable as PHILBY." According to STEKLOV's account, the man was still in place after PHILBY's defection, and he continued to provide reliable information to,the KGB. PHILBY's defection did not interfere in the case.. Yawn Aleksey VictorovicHNKOZLOV was a thiea source who told 1s previous penétration of MI-5. KOZLOV was a long-time KGB officer who served in Britain during the 1950s as a member of the KGB residency's counterintelligence branch. KOZLOV had started his KGB career in 1945, right after the war. He retired from the KGB in 1986. the so 4) a} HW 54934 Docld:32989481 Page 6 ¢ ? ~—
Hw 34934  Doocld: 32989481 __ _ SECRET KOZLOV, of course, knew many important KGB operations, and he told many anecdotes. Once, in the early or mid-1980s, he said to the source, "Do you know what we did in the 1950s? We had a very, very high man in British counterintelligence." The source asked KOZLOV who it was. KOZLOV said that it was either the chief or one of his deputies. More recently, following the publication of "Spy Catcher," the source heard about this previous penetration of MI- 5 from Nikolai ZHUKOV, a Directorate K Officer who was stationed in Britain in the mid-1980s, and may have been expelled. ZHUKOV is the KGB First Chief Directorate (FCD) counterpart of the officers in the Second Department, SCD. He is responsible for the Russian Colony in Britain and for all cypher reports from the KGB residency in London. He is a frequent visitor to SCD Headquarters. . During a conversation between ZHUKOV and Second Department case officers (including the source) on such cases as EMERSON and PATTERSON (see previous reports on these cases), ZHUKOV boasted that these cases were not so significant. A discussion then ensued about "the boys in blue," the SCD slang _term for MI-5. According to ZHUKOV, the KGB had a very high penetration of MI-5 in the past. In all four cases mentioned above, the subsources Gid not tell our source the, name of the MI-5 penetration. The source is not certain whether it was Roger HOLLIS, former chief of MI-5, or one of his deputies. Based on the above accounts, however, the source is certain it was a man in the top circles of MI-5. He is also certain that his subsources were not referring to BURGESS, MACLEAN, or BLUNT. None of his subsources mentioned the name cf the KGB case officer who handled the MI-5 penetration or how the penetration was handled. ° DEBRIEFER'S COMMENTS : Needless to say, we will continue to debrief the source on his knowledge of the above matter with the hope of acquiring any additional information he may possess.

Circa 1959 he joined the Ministry of Foreign Trade and attended the Academy of Foreign Trade of the USSR for three years. After that he attended School 101 of the KGB First Chief Directorate (FCD) at Yurléva. He kept his cover job with the Ministry of Foreign Trade but became an operative in Directorate T. In 1966 PAPUSHIN was assigned to Great Britain where he served as a Senior Engineer with the Soviet Trade Mission at Highgate Westhill 32, London.

The Eleventh Department of the FCD handles liaison with eastern european intelligence services. In the Second Chief Directorate the Twentieth Department handles liaison with all socialist intelligence services. In recent years the KGB's relations with other Soviet- * Bloc intelligence agencies have deteriorated. Whereas before the ' KGB exerted defacto control over these services, now relations and cooperation between them and the KGB depends on the personal relationships between the respective officials. Now when a KGB 1 officer enters, for example, the Polish SB's office, the working t papers are covered up. In the Polish SB there has been a purge of hard line communists, and only people more sympathetic to reform remain.

It was founded in Gomel in 1945 or 1946 to train NKVD agents to fight national resistance movements in the USSR. It is a three or four story building with dark grey walls inside. The cadets sleep four or five to a room. When a new recruit arrives.at the KGB Higher School in Minsk, he is given a thorough medical and psychological exam. Then he must answer a questionnaire about himself, and say why he wants to join the KGB. After this is done, the new cadet is issued an Soviet Army officer’s field uniform. University graduates and those with formal military training are lieutenants (two stars), and cadets without this are . sergeants. All civilian clothing except for a jogging suit are taken away. : For the first month the cadets are under strict discipline and cannot leave the school grounds. They are given _basic military training: they are taught to shoot, march, fight “hand-to-hand, etc. After the first month they may leave the post for a few hours at a timé and go into town. They are also. fitted with Army causal dress uniforms. In 1982 the cadets all wore signal corps insignia, making it easy for the locals to identify them. Now, with the’ worsening reputation of the KGB, the cadets are allowed to wear the insignia of any military branch. In 1982 the cadet corps was divided into 30-man squads with five squads making up a "course" or platoon. Four courses were at the school at any one time: two started every six months. Currently the source believes that there are only fifteen men in : each squads. Each course has a cadet commander, an assistant commander, and a cipher clerk for control of secret documents. Each course also has a chief instructor or "papa" who is a senior KGB officer, usually from the Border Guards. The training week at the school runs for six days. The training day starts at 7 AM with a wake up by the papa. This is done in traditional military style with lots of shouting and SECRET 3 ig 54934. Docid: 32969481 _ Page 21

At 9:00 lecture/seminars begin, and last until 1 PM. This training is divided up into the same. special disciplines as at the Moscow school. At 1 PM lunch is served, then there is a break of two | De hours. From 2 PM to 7 PM is self study time. Sometimes classes are held. Supper is at 7 PM and usually consists of fish and rice. From 8 PM until lights out at 10:30 is free time. A lot of training time at the Minsk school is taken up with military subjects such as rifle shooting, map reading, etc. This school is more military, oriented than the Moscow school. . Minsk school graduates are made KGB Senior Lieutenants. ‘ When cadets enter the KGB, they have to sign a paper ro saying that they will accept asSignment anywhere in the USSR.
