WASHI no D.C.
July As 1953
The following information was furnished by an informant lea
hoe given extremely reliable information in the past. It pure;
to represent statements made by a Soviet official stationed in
Europe. This official is believed to be attached to the new
Ministry of Rowe Affairs, which was created after the death of
Stalin through a consolidation of the Ministries of Internal AttairL.
and State Security. This information we obtained by inforean pvt -
to the arrest of L. P. Beria.
It was stated that Premier Malenkov is busy trying to key: fr
being unseated as Premier and to keep peace in the Coe>aetunist Pa,ty
and the Soviet ArmW. Molotov is in trouble. The Soviets need
someone like Litvinov who could coke more friends in the western
countries and at the same time keep the satellite countries under
the thumb". Bog molov (possibly Alexandr Bogoolov, an Assist-4nt
Minister of Foreign Affairs in 1951 and later Soviet Aeebsssaclo:? to
Czechoslovakia) or Mslik (possibly Jacob 1ielik) may take folote r ? ss
job.
Molotov allegedly has been assigned the task of making neor,
friends in England and creating aarre anti-American feeling in, t; 4at
country. Molotov is said to have a source (a woman) in Churchi`l.'s
office and a source (a man) in Eden's Office. The Soviets will
attempt to make "deals" with the British to sell them Russian goods
below the world market price.
It was reported that the Soviets have no difficulty in kee,ing
advised of atomic developments in Treace, have about ninety per ceen-=:
coverage of develam~ is in England and still have a good sourcki in
-Fn
the United States identifying data is available concerning the
United States source). The Soviets believe that by 1956 they v_11
have a sufficient stockpile of atomic and other weapons for war
They are not ready for war now and do not want war. Beriz is
reported to have stated that the Russians would have only a amali
chance if war comes before 1956.
The Soviets have ;nov reportedly developed a new type of var?uint;
system against atomic attack which is superior to radar. It vil i
reveal the approach of planes carrying atomic weapons from approxi-
mately 663 ail es away. The system has been tested and found to Je
workable. However, the Soviets need ties to complete the system arm
should have it ocagrleeted by 1956. They believe that the rreeterr
countries do not have this new warning system but rely on radar.
