During 1950, I mckadx wanted to use TSANOV in service of the Americansand honestly I could have used him very well (to advantage). He already had a goodpolish and the possibilities which he had in Vienna were more than good.. TSANOV,however, was in an unfavorable light before the American powers by loropixoc Dr.DIUSTROV I s people. he reason for this was - that TSANOV loweeej,eas aware of thecompromising facts about Dr. DIL.ITROV and his people, as associates of the Communistsof yesterday, in order to ndrdmtize (discredit) the information xhich TSANOV had givenabout them z000mmumratzbc succeedged in (was responsible) for discrediting him,in order to cast doubts about him. He, T5ANOV, in my estimation was and would have beencompletely honest and loyal. My understanding was, that we would receive the bestinformation about the Communists if we had ;wit (our) people among them. I, orsomeone like myself was unable to go in Vienna, could not talk with YOSIFOV ina homey (persoaal) 'efiVifignment, could not go in the Bulg. Legation, etc. TSANOV,however,-was able to do these things. In order to be able to do this he had tobrimt4givd4.sooe information to YO3IFOV, for example, 'e If TSANOV,

Translation or letter from Ivan OCCULV on ^natoli T.i.10V,.. contld.

In the beginning of 1951, TJIV, nad ..i.eady severed his connectuns

With the French anu bound ni-seli in a bad material situation. he has some weak-

nesses. he likes to live beyond nis wowls and he likes women. In Vienna he has

a (common law marriage) with an i.ustrian woman ata has a child .by her, but this isree ef t avt. .

does not alter his situation. That he is in an eabarrassin icannot be discounted,. .

however, this much can be grunted about T.34.110/. T3ANGV may have made concessions

to YOSDOV. I, however, since I have ueen in Canada for thepast three years,

do longer have contact TaALOV and do not know anything about him. for this reason,

I cannot give any guarantees about him not on the otner nand can I accuse (blame)_

him of anything. If, however, I should have a me,:ting T3ANOV, he would be

absolutely and certainly open (trughful) with me and I would be able to learn

of all z.he things that have happened to him, and at the same Use I could utilize

T34J40V if this is would be useful and desired.
