visitor in the Soviet Union. She was well known to KGB from

her work in 1960 or 1961 with a ballet group from leningrad.

Source explained that a female artist from the ballet troup

mentioned above had received a letter proposing defection and

had reported it to the security officer of the group who in

turn reported his supposition that the approach was perpe-

trated by Natalie Blenstock: Source said he had gone to

Geneva, Switzerland, on March 14, 1962, as security officer

with a Soviet delegation. Upon his return in June 1962, he

learned that Krupnov and Anatolly Kovalenko, Deputy Chief,

Seventh Department, SCD, had approached Blenstock and (S)

recruited her,

FBI in New York but she was not accused by KGB and she made

no admissions of any such agency to KGB.

Harvey Lee Oswald, assassinator of President John F. Kennedy,

Source stated in 1962 (actually 1963) Oswald applied at

Mexico City, Mexico, for a Soviet visa in order to return to

Russia.&cThe matter was reported to Vladimir D. Chelnokov,

Chief, Seventh Department, SCD, who stated the department and

the Second Chief Directorate had no interest in Oswald, how»

ever, he instructed the source to call the KGB, Belorussia,

and obtain a summary of the file on Oswald. Source said this file

file was opened in 1960: by Kim G. Krupnov, Senior Case Officer,

First Section, Seventh Department, who thereafter sent it to

KGB headquarters at Minsk with instructions to watch Oswald.

Source said he received the summary in due course but by this

time the President had been assassinated by Oswald and there

was an order from General Oleg Gribanov to bring the Oswald

file to Moscow Immediately by military plane. Source stated

this was done and the file was carefully examined by him

along with Krupnov and Vitall Dera. It was ascertained there

was no record of any approach having been made to Oswald or

of any conversations of KGB with Oswald. ar
