Our source, [Aerospace Corporation, recently received a exis G. Ivakhnenko stating that subject had returned to the fold.Following is ai excerpt of the letter, bad English and all: | id % “It seems to me I speak worser English than some times ago ~ especially after my neighbor Libero Rickiardel (Rikkiardel) {the typing was hard to decipher because of strike-overs on the second and third letters] went home for Needham Heits 94, Massachusetts. It was good praxis for me to speak with him. He is complicated man having good and bed sides, Shortly to tell, he ie rather egoistic wan who 4id not think about Communism or capitaliem. Having the strong complications in his femily, he dos not love hie wife but wanted the such divorce when the children remain with his mother but not with the wife, because he considers her as mentally weak. He hoped to find the answer in another system. Here he received rather good apartment and salary - 150 rubles per month, but became homesick. Even the beautiful nature of Kiev seemed to him gray and bore [bare?]. With great difficulties, mainly from the USA side, hi got permiesion to return to home. There wait for him two big problems: first - to solve the problem with wife and children. ‘The old fashioned society of Needham will be against him. Second - the State Department cannot "forgive’ him his cosmopolitical behavior. “fn& poor Norma (undoubtedly Libero's wife] has no meers to live and cannot find the job in USA, even as the baby sitting woman. She is very tired and almost 111. Her only sister tells her the price of the meal which she eets. Wibero is rather stingy, as many people abroad, except you, of course! Her situetion is very tragic.” 3. Earlier in the letter, Alexis asked write a welcoming letter and maybe later visit with him. In t lexis said, “I would like to know his destiny after return home.” And later, he said, . “Do not ask a word about Norma from Libero, it makes him fierce. Be really ‘ does not love her. Neverthelese I would like to know the future of this =, family and maybe help them in any way - for instance I can try to send a the medicine which Norma likes end. cannot find in the USA.” ~~ eee ERSUP 4 Excluded from entemotis devncrating and SOR esse

Too, Libero might be an excellent source of bio data on Ivakhnenko, having lived next door to him for a few years. With a slight amount of pressure, he would probably be a most willing source. 6.
