believed hir,isolf kept by the Americans in Suisse for future use. n'DIA
sur,gested to 1)137 that he (K) not be kept in on internment camp because,
In such a case, he could not run his chain (which he said reached into
Moscow) for the Americons. KEDIA hod contact with the Si officer, Lt.
JOLIS (Paris).
tion. D37 was put in touch with SHULGIN by KEDIA, whth whom he
(SHULDIN) lived in Geneva, according to a report by DB23 and DB5 of
June 46. Thru SHULGIN, KEDIA's offer to use his Georgian chain was
• indirectly renewed. KEDIA made his offer indirectly to the ITIP:TR
• (UKRAINIAN CHIEF COUNCIL OF LIBERAITION), probably well aware of
SHULGIN's connection with us.
12 July 46. KEDIA, in a letter to Rostyslow SHUL3II: proposes
•
1946 (con0d):
KEDIA,.he has nine a.-ents in Turkey. KEDIA's chief representative is
MENAGARI-who has contacts with the followinrz Turkish officials:
1. NADJI-BEY (Naci Bey), Chief of the .1- urkish rilitary Intell.
Service.
2. C(.1. CELAL BEY, Chief of the 'kurkish IS for western Turkey.
3. Col. TEMER-BEY
4. Gen. NURI PASHA, brother of Enver PASHA
5. Gen. ERKILLET
6. KriM Cofer Bey AKHOUT
Among KEDIA's agents is on Alexander KANKAVA who parachuted into
Georgia 1942 and returned recently , to Istanbul.
KEDIA apparently gave this information to SHULGIN for trans-
mittal to the UHI.R. representative Zuf-ene STACHIV. UHUR is repo rted
to have decided to organize an intelligence center in Turkey, and
STACHIV' was charged with the mission. SHULGIN, however said that
"KEDIA is very impulsive, and not always wise in the choice of his
associates." SHULGIN wants to get the advice of the ",mericaLl
authorities" what to do, and their reaction to KLDIA's list.

the wittory of r! tulin, and would like to create en.alibi in order to regain

since once Stalin hue made tree cr . than e will eliminate them not because

also claims to have protected various Georgian Jews. For this
work the Jews supported his wife and children who were left in Paris
when KEDIA-went to Berlin: (His fathi1 is now in Megeve, France.)
In an episode that is not clear tO - us KEDIA reportedly saved .
ERICZE from the Germans. In'gratitude for this BERICZE has been
KEDIA for some time. While in Germany, for example,
KEDIA received 11,000,000 French francs from .BERICZE. Through'.
Dr. WEBE .6 , KEDIA met Eugen LANG (with whom he no corresponds in
Spain) of the OTTO Organization in Paris. WEBER instructed LANG
to set aside a part of the profits frOm the OTTO organization for
KEDIA. ' ToBIRMANN, also connected with the LANG, BERICZE group

Subject is said to have emigrated from aussia in 1922 f or 1923 in connection with the
Revolution. Subject . is described as extremely skillful and knew how to camouklage his se
activities and the method of his work is described as effective because of long 'experience
and constant pursuit of his aims concerning Russia. KNOCHEM considers it umlikkely that he
was ever identified by the :tussian CI system and believes that Subject's policital outlook,
although in fact known to this witness, was sufficiently camoulaged to ramAin unknown
to a larger Circle. .Subject's reports were regarded as both informative ad reliable.
. Exact details of the-technical . execution of Subject's intelligence operations are not
-available beyond the general outline given above. Subject is described As a'Man_almopt....
6 ft tall. with sparse reddish hair which was cropped short; . regular features except for
a rather large nose; no beard or moustache, and rwitr complexion. The Only remarkable
things about Subject were his eyes which seemed to dominate the entire man and the witness
would call him the pc m tYpe of an intellectual. The shape of his head is square with a
rather long face.. Subject speaks French, German, and Russian. Was last seenl by KNCIkEN'
in August of 1944. .There is nothing known to KkocHal about opelytions of this' intelligence
chain after his '('Subject's) departure from France.lqngelhauptof Amt VI, and one-time
collaborator of KNOCHEM 'should be able to furnish more details on Subject as he was
closely connected with 'Subject on a personal basis.'

1. KEDIA recently approachedwith an offer or plan
to work together (along intelligence lins4 - making Turkey the base
of operations. The purpose of this cooperation is to precipitate the
inevitable War between the •USA and the Soviets.. KEDIA
-reasons in a three hour conversation ancLthe-following
re§ume. of the conversatioh:
war preparltions and on the other hand will frighten the Soviets who
will beco:Ae more conciliatory and esecially more cautious. Therefore, .
it is necessary to work for Communist successes in Prance, Switzerland,.
Spain, Turkey and. Greece; in other words in all countries where America
has an interest. The greater the Communist success is in those countries,
the sooner the war. These facts must be faced. It is inevitable and
sooner or later the real acrugje against Bolshevism must be joined and
the support of the USA and England sought. KEDIA . is Certain that anyone
who participates in these. pro-Communist provocation activities will find
Immop-e.
muala favor with the Allies than those who a a farouohe manner, remain
faithful to their principles and continueto be anti-Soviet. The leaders•
of all those people who are fighting against the Soviets: Caucasians, ..
Ukrainians, Poles, Germans (KEDIA puts the latter in the same group),
should participate in this provocation plan for it alone can assure suc- •
bess and :a .fUtureto Eastern and • Central Europe.".
