NOSENKO

Yuriy NOSENKO spent much of his career in the Sixth

Department of the KGB's Second Chief Directorate (SCD), which

was

responsible for tourists.

He spent only a short time

of his

career in the First Department, SCD, which was responsible for

American officials at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow.

NOSENKO had excellent family connections because his

father was Minister for the Shipbuilding Industry in the USSR.

That is how NOSENKO managed to become a security officer for the

Soviet delegation which traveled to Geneva, Switzerland, for arms

control talks. He defected to the United

States

from this

position.

The SCD was quite pleased when U.s. intelligence began

to believe NOSENKO was not a bona fide defector.

They were

particularly pleased when he was harshly interrogated by the CIA.

According to the source, NOSENKO was not sent to the

United States to be a false defector.

The source said that it is

against KGB policy to send an intelligence officer as a false

defector.

Also, the KGB would never have selected him

for such a

-mission because

his father is a high-level Party official.

The source doubts that NOSENKO ever saw OSWALD's

file.

According to the source, NOSENKO was not higher than a Captain or .

Major when he defected to the United States.

The source belleves

that NOSENKO may have tried to show himself more valuable to the

CIA than he really was.

At the time of his defection, NOSENKO

was mixing in high circles of Moscow golden youth. The source

believes he defected for material gain.

The source discussed the Lee Harvey OSWALD case with

former instructors at

Counterintelligen GlU)

Minsk KGB Higher School of

Following his defection to the USSR, OSWALD waS

resettled in Minsk, outside of Moscow.

He was placed under full

surveillance by the regional or territorial KGB in Minsk.

officers from the Second Directorate of the White Russian KGB

were in contact with Oswald and considered him an agent because

he would provide them with some information on his past. Marina

was also considered an agent.

Oswald resided very close to Victory Square and the KGB

Higher School in Minsk. His apartment was very nice by Soviet

standards.

Oswald was also interrogated several times by KEB

officers in Moscow. The source does not know what type of

information OSWALD provided to the KGB in Minsk or Moscow.

1.

OSWALD fell into deep depression in the USSR. He was

-homesick and wanted to return to the United States.

eventually received Soviet permission to return to the United

States with his wife Marina.

His KGB handlers did consider passing OSWALD to the

First Chief Directorate to be handled by a KCB residency in the

United States.

This proposal was ultimately rejected, however,

because OSWALD was considered too unstable.

According to the

source, the KGB did not handle OSWALD in the United States and

had no

further contacts with him.

Marina was considered

an agent, but she did not like to

cooperate with the KGB.

She was interested in OSWALD, but even

more interested in getting away from the soviet Union

and

poverty.

The KEB instructors who told the source about OSWALD

were (Coloner Torchuk, Colonel Sluzel

and colonel schlobochekov. (S

Ihese individuals used to be members de, the White Russian KGB

SCD Officers Aleksey YEGOROV and Leonid GOLUBOVSKIY also told

him

According to the source, l

each one of these officers

told him that the KGB did not handle Oswald after his redefection

to the United States, and

the KGB did not give any tasks to

OSWALD.

They also said that the KGB never gave OSWALD a task. to

kill President Kennedy.

The source said that rumors in the west suggesting the

KGB was involved in KENNEDY's assassination were absurd.

According to the source, the KGB would never risk the scandal of

assassinating a major world leader.

DEBRIEFER'S COMMENTS:

Needless to say, we will go back over his knowledge of

OSWALD in an effort to

acquire any additional information.
