On 26 June Gostille invited Golub to have lunch with , , ‘Restaurant in Helsinki, as it was Gostille’s t é pay the bill. Golub’s first remarks concerned the amount of he hag to do in the Consulate, as he was alone there now since Milkha UB ++ lpadeheparted. Golub _ stated that Lyubimov had now obtained the diplomatic tities of Third Secre- . taxy_and was currently in Moscow for some tr. prior to a FCS assignment where besides Hel probabl ther ue lub stated that he missed Lyubimov tremendously both office-wise and personally. He was very fond of Lyubimov and often remarked what an intelligent young | man he wage a oO a _ 2. The conversation then turned to Costille’s recent vacation in Lapland. | Golub again told Costille that he was not going to be able to take a . vacation this year as the new Anbassador wanted kim to remain in Helsinki, — Golub then stated to Costille, "I have heard that you speak fluent Russian.” . Costille stated that that was very complimentary but that he spoke about ._ @8 good Russian es Golub spoke English. Costille told him that he had ~ studied Russian at the University of California and on his own but that about all he could do now was understand and read some and that whet little speaking ability he had was practically gone. Golub commented it was good that Costille kmew some Russian and said that more Americans should study it. Golub then asked why Costille was not trying to improve his. Russien. Costille answered that he was trying to learn to speak Finnish _ and that it was too much of a chore to study two languages at the same time, Golub said that what Costille needed was more practice in Russian and pro- | ceeded to speak in Russian, In actuality Costille’s Russian has decreased considerably and he was able to easily convince Golub that his Russian was far from fluent. As was mentioned in previous dispatches, Costille had never attempted to conceal from Golub the fact that he knew Russian. The issue just never came up. Since Golub is fluent in Finnish, the common language automatically became Fimish. If we had realized this Golub contact was going to be so frequent, we would have made it a point at the first to be the one to tell Golub that Costille knows some Russian. Tis might have made Golub a little suspicious, At the last meeting Costille had mentioned to Golub that he had been studying Russian some, Golub - did not respond, so evidently he either did not hear or understand Costille, “3 Golub asked Costille what other languages he had studied. Costille told him he hed studied Spanish in high school. Golub said that this was an ; easy language and not studied too much in the Soviet Union. After making this remark, he quickly corrected himself and stated that a large percentage. of the world spoke Spanish and that it was becoming a much more popular | 7 languege in the Soviet Union. Costille mentioned thet Russien had become a very popular language in the States and that within the last two years . - his bigh achool in California, which was quite small, even wes off ering the Russian language. This seemed to impress Golub. : Gi Ussq . #4. While speaking Russian to Costille, Golub began using the familiar form of the language rather than the polite form which the two had always used, -He looked at Costille and asked if it would bd alright to use first names, When Costille agreed, he reached across thp table and ahook Costille’s hand. He then told Costille that there was a new Cultural Officer in the Sovict Embassy by the name of AL?+ who wanted to meet som? young Western Embassy officers, especially Americans.

He stated that since Costille and he were both bachelors. they, could "have some good times together". Just before the two parted after lunch Golub stated that he had heard from ‘Moscow about his report of what he termed "the Volodya incident", (See OFHA~3819). He said that Volodya had bean calicd in and properly chastized. When Costille asked Golub what would happen. to Volodya, Golub responded that he didn’t know. Golub also stated that Moscow asked him how Costille was. able to deduce that his room was being searched at that particular time. — Costille stated that it didn®t take an amateur detective to figure that oat. . - Golub laughed and agreed. 7,2... Please-sée_reference A concerning the e AEPASIEE/S and ssrannE/s contact with | Golub. and the reception mentioned in para four above never came off. When first inviting Costille to this reception, Golub made it quite certain that Costille | ' was free for the 7th and made him promise to come. On Thursday, 2 July, Golub called Costille again to make sure he had not forgotten the date. Costille told him that as yet he had not received the official invitation . from Zegal. Golub stated that he would receive it shortly. By Monday, the . day of the reception, still no invitation had been received. At 1600 Gostille decided to phone Golub to find out what had happened. Golub informed hin then that the reception had been postponed until the Soviet Ambassador, who is presently touring Finland, returned to Helsinki. Golub apologized for not telling Costille earlier and invited Costiile for lunch the next days 7 June. Lunch with Golub has. just been completed. He was more jovial. than we have ever seen him. He admitted that he had been up all evening drinking with a . good friend and hadn’t fully sobered up yet. His first move at lunch was to order vodka and beer. He again apologized . for the mix-up on the reception invitations but said that his Ambassador didn’t arrive back in Helsinki in time. Hs promised to send Costille an invitation as soon as the date had . been confirmed. The lunch was spent mostly in polite, friendly conversation. Golub remarked that now Moscow had given him the authority to give Americans -wigas without prior approval from Moscow. He stated that this would make -his job much easier, and as long as he was convinced the American was "all. right" he could give him his visa in a matter of minutes, When Costille mentioned that he had a personal friend coming to Helsinki for a visit in October, Golub stated that Costille should insist she see Leningrad and that “if Costille would bring her to the Soviet Embassy, he would give her a visa . -ab once. Golub then asked Costille to explain the "James Dean! problem and the negro - problem in America to him. Golub stated that he personally did not like _ “negroes and admitted thet the Soviet Union also had a juvenile delinguency problem ("stilyagi"). Golub mentioned that Khrushchev was coming to Finland - soon which always meant a lot of work for the Embassy, He then proceeded | to talk about what a great, intelligent, but practical man Khrushchev Was. Golub also made some derogatory remarks about his wife, and how glad he was “that she had gone to Moscow. Returning from lunch, Golub insisted that Costille stop by his apartment to hear some of his Russian records and have . , @ glass of cognac, As they walked through the door, Golub, at the top of \his voice, in Russian yelled, "Is there any one home?” It is so nice not to - {have anyone answer."
