Beirut, Jul 29, 1949

 

Number 173/ I noticed in recent days that Alexei Zanvirov and Nicola Kinjevich are getting close.  The latter had been showing documents to reporters.  Zanvirov had wanted to bring these documents from Austria to circulate.

 

When I asked Kinjevich about the meaning of this contact while he is aware that Zanvirov is pro-communism.  He said:

- I have no current information against Zanvirov except about 5% of his work with the Russians, however, my contact with him will seriously assist in my finding more of his secrets.

Nicola Kinjevich builds a relationship with Alexei Zanvirov to learn secrets of his work with the Russians.
