West Berlin Paper Says
Aim Was Creation of
Great Russion Republic
By the Associofed Press

BERLIN, Feb. ia West Ber-
lin newspaper declared today
nearly 200 high Russian officials
in Leningrad have plotted since
the war to overthrow the Soviet
government. Official confirmation
was lacking.
The American licensed Der
Abend said it was discovery of the
conspiracy that caused Moscow to
reimpose last month the death
penalty for espionage and sabo-
tage. Attributing it's information
to sources close to the Soviet
control commission in Eastern
Germany" the newspaper added:
After the plot collapsed, the
Soyiets started secret purge
action. Rumors of this have
caused considerable disquiet in
Karlshorst (Russian military head
quarters for Berlin0. The net
work of conspirators has not yet
been fully uncovered"
The aim of the plot, according
to Der Abend, was the creation
of a great Russian republic with
its capital at Leningrad.
The conspirators feared that
the expansionist policy of the
Stalin-M -Malenkov clique could lead
the Soviet Union dangerously
close to war" the newspaper said.
They realized that promises
during the war of a higher living
standard for the peoples of the
Soviet Union were lies and decep-
ton"
Der Abend identified the leader
of the plot as a Marshal Govorov,
commandant of the Leningrad
military district until relieved in
1916.
(Marshal Leonid A. Govorov
was the leader of the defense of
Leningrad in World War II and
directed the Soviet offensives
that hurled back the Germans
northern flank and crushed Fin
nish resistance in 1914. He
spoke for the Soviet Army at
