14-00000 tet on SY tue nat o Subject: '.L.OLTEANS (10 June 1925) “ On 29 December 1971 OLTHANG invited the Cultural Attache of the Russian Embassy KUZNETSOV for an evening in his house. The invit- ation was also for some other members of the Russian Representatio: At the same time OLTMANS was to invite some six important journali: KUZNETSOV should ask OPALEV and IZWEKOV to come along with him. The date agreed’ on originally was 11 January 1972, It then was changed twice. When 14 January also wasn't suitable, it was agreed on 7 January to make the date for 18 January 1972 at 20.00 hrs. From the invitation it could only be infered that OLTMANS wanted to offer his guests an opportunity for an informal discussion. About the background of the present good relations of OLTMANS with the Soviet Representation in The Netherlands, section DB is able to report the following: (This information comes from vulnerable source ~ OPPERBAAS. 1. In September 1970 OLTMANS says with some surprise that he sudde: ly received an invitation to a party at the Russian Embassy. ie thinks it crazy: he doesn't belong to that club at all. But his thinking is along the lines of those people. 2. In October 1970 OLTMANS appears to be interested in an intervie: with KOSYGIN's son-in-law GVISIZIANI who allegedly was connected with American-Russian discussions about forming a mutual "think- ing factory". Presumably this had some connection with the So called Club of Rome in which GVISHIANI plays a role. Remark: GVISHIANI is chairman of the state committee for science and technology and is suspected to be a highly placed Intelligence Officer. 3. Begining March 1970 OLTMANS contacted the Press Attache OPALIV from the Russian Embassy; OLTMANS would still like to have an interview with GVISHIANI. It would be a filmed interview in which OLTMANS would cooperate with the NOS. (TV). in this period OPALEV's cooperation does not yet seem very extensive, 4, Thanks to the cooperation of Aurelio PECCEI, chairman of the Club of Rome, OLTMANS at the end of April 1971 succeeded in get- ting in contact with GVISHIANI in Paris. Also present at this discussion was the former member of the Rus Embassy FEDEROVSKY, now chief of protocol of the state committee for science and technology.
14-00000 2 mie At this opportunity GVISHTANI immediately invited OLTMANS for a visit to Moscow. PEDEROVSKY was instructed to inform the Russian Embassy in The gue about it. GVISHIANI who at the same time is chairman of the commission for environment administration in the Soviet Union, asked OLTHANS to make a film at the same time about the environment administraticr in the Soviet Union to support the international environment conference to be held this year, 5. Begining May it becomes clear that since OLTMANS' discussion with GVISHTANI, OPALEV's attitude towards OLTMANS has greatly changed. OPALEV is now all willingness, In May OLTMANS makes his film with GVISHTIANI and receives an inv- itation’ to come to the Soviet Union for the second half of August and the whole of September, where he could film ten scientific institutes. GVISHTIANI told OLTMANS that he had complete trust in him. 6. In June 1°71 OLTMANS again contacted GVISHIANI, this time in Vienna, where there was a meeting of the Club of Rome. 7. Begining October 1971 OLTMANS again saw GVISHIANI in Paris, where among other things he spoke to him about his visit to The Nether] in the second week of October. OLTMANS did his begt to oblige GVISHIANI while visiting The Neth- erlands by trying to establish business relations for him (for instance with Philips). cewweel . r 8. In November 1971 OLPMANS, from the Russian state television an 9, offer for a five year contract to make exclusive films in the soviet Union. This offer was made to OLTMANS during his visit to the Soviet Union. It is concretization of the earlier offer by GVISHIANI to film a number of scientific institutes in the Soviet Union. On 17 November OLTMNANS allegedly discussed this business further with GVISHIANI in Geneva. On 23 January 1972 OLTMANS will make another visit to Moscow to discuss making the above mentioned films without the participatic of the NOS. At this opportunity OLTNANS will leave behind a memo about LUNS in connection with OLTMANS' present agitation against the Secretary~General of NATO. OLTHANS wants to prevent LUNS getting any future opportunity to visit Moscow. 10. Referring to the meeting in OLTNANS' house on 18 January 1972 i+ can be reported that on 17 January 1972 OLTMANS stated that he is again seeking reaction from the Russians who will visit him or 18 January; their reaction in connection with OLTMANS' request to the general prosecutor of the High Council to bring action against LUNS. $
14-00000 11, oo 3. In the morning on 18 January OLTMANS also statod that KUZNTTSc. said that OLTMANS' action against LU3 will not succeed becaus the "bosses" stand behind LUNS. it is not clear when KUZNDTSOV said this to CLIMANS, but it i known that OLTNANS recently attended a mecting where a number of Russians were present. , (Possibly the meeting of the Association "Nederland-USSR" with the delegntion from "USSR-Nederland" on 14 January 1972.) rs) On 19 January 1972 it was reported that HOFLAND (one of the guc invited to the evening in OLTMANS! house) called before his arrival and asked whether he could bring a friend. Afterwards this friend appeared to be Peter ZONNEVELD from De Telegraaf. OLTMANS said that at the press conference which he ( OLTMANS ) will give on 20 January 1972 several guests, Milo ANSTADT, Rob KOPUIT and Jaap JANSEN will defend OLTMANS against the attack c him in "De Telegraaf" of this riorning. 19 January 1972.
