[Enclosure—Translation]
Aide-Mémoire
The Administration on the Repatriation of Soviet citizens has
received information that in the British, American and
French zones of occupation in Germany and also in the
British and American zones in Austria, activities, having as
their purpose to prevent the return to their homeland of
Soviet citizens, are being carried on by white-immigrants
and other persons and organizations hostile to the U. S. S.
R.
On Austrian territory such activities are being carried on in
areas occupied by the troops of the 8th British and 5th
American Armies. It is stated that in the city of Salzburg
under the official name “Engineering-Technical Firm of
Karyakin” a committee is actually working and is carrying on
this activity directed by a Russian immigrant, Colonel Bobrovi. In the
suburbs of Salzburg a committee headed by Slipchenko and Mishshenko is working on the
non-return of Ukrainians to their homeland. In the region of
Klagenfurt agents of the former Vlasov Corps under the
command of Colonel
Rogozhin are in action. The general
leadership in Austria of the hostile activities vis-à-vis
the U. S. S. R. is a “center” in which the well-known
whiteimmigrants, General Kreiter, Engineer Voskresentsev, Ivanov and Lavrov, have entered.1
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The Soviet Government considers it necessary to draw to the
attention of the Government of the United States of America
and of the British Government the above-mentioned facts.
