50X1 -HUM
(a) In Wilno a civilian radio station for local reception is in operation. Besides
local news the programme of this station is mostly based on information and material
from Radio Moscow. The reception is mainly organized through 'trans uzly'l i.e.
collective reception stations.
(b) A special radio station had been constructed in 1949 in the locality Raudodvaris
(Red Mansion) for transmitting communist propaganda to foreign (Western) countries.
The programmes are directed mainly to Scandinavia and Western-Germany. This is the
strongest radio station in the Central-Baltic area. It was built by German POWs,
the power station, workshops, military barracks, etc. were all built within the
compound, so-called 'Radio Gorodok' (Radio town), which has its own canteens, shopping
center, movie theatre and living quarters for its approximately 400 employees. The
staff is entirely Russian, Litlynanians are prohibited to enter the area.
(c) In the locality Islauzas, in the vicinity of Prena in the Kaunas district,
a powerful radio station started operating in the middle of 1950. This station,
which is under the direction and supervision of the Saugumo Ministelja (13Th) is
used also for monitoring.
(d) Since about June 15, 1951, in view of the recently started Baltic broadcasts. of
the VOA, the Prena monitoring station increased its staff by some additional 200
people. Special mobile units of the monitoring station are equipped with receiving
sets, with which they are establishing the listening conditions for British and
American broadcasts in various parts of the country.
(e) Special 'Perga' jamming stations have been installed during the month of May
in the Southern and Western parts of the country, between Stara Wilejka, Wilno,
Lida, Volkovysk, Pinsk, Grodno and Tylza (Tilsit)."
