the West via KOLASKA * but he did not describe the material
or did he say for whem it was intended. KOROTYCH did say*
however * that SVITLYCHNY was arrested for two reasons; i.e.*
for transmittal of the SYMONENKO material to the West and
for anti-Soviet activities. New KOLASKA did mention to
YAREMKO that he had "materials" confiscated by the KGB * and
he also mentioned to the OUN/Meolnick people with whom
he had contact in Canada according to the AECASSOWARY source*
that he had literature taken away from him by the KC9 just
prior to his departure from Kiev and that he was arrested as
a result of having had the material with him. Thus the
speculation that KOLASKA and KOROTYCH WTO involved in the
compromise of the Soviet Ukrainian writers * one of whom was
SVITLYCHNN * arrested in late 1965 * We have no other inform'
tion on the relationship between KOROTYCH and KOLASKA.
k. KUBARK has had no correspondence with ODENVY on
YAREMKO. However * an informational report from ODENVY to
KUBARK• dated 10 June 1965 * reveals that ODENVY has been in
contact with YAREMKO in connection with his business dealings
with the Soviet Union,
1. It is honeyed KOLASKA's statement to SMABOVE that
he was arrested by the KGB in Kiev and put on a plane for
Canada is probably true. However * if true * them he had to
confess the names of the Soviet Ukrainians who bad given him
the literature which he claims was confiscated from him before
he was released for seturn to Canada. Mother probability is
that he voluntoored 4 KOROTYCH the names of the writers who had
given him literature for delivery to the West and that his
arrest * if it did take place * was staged to maintain his
innocence in the eyes of the writers. Still another aspect
which creeps into the story and which we hersitets to bring in
to complicate it any further * is that KOLASKA had mentioned in
a letter he wrote from the Soviet Union to a Canadian citizen
with whom he maintained correspondence at that time * and who
since has become disenchanted with her ProgTossivo colleagues*
that he spent several months in a hospital during his stay in
the Soviet Union being treated for a nervous disorder. We
have notother details on this interesting bit and we do not
have the name of the AECASSOWARY source of the information
but the Canadian citizen to whom KOLASKA reportedly wrote
this infornation is dalyna MUCHYM (phonetical spelling) of
Winnipeg on whom headquarters has no identifiable traces.
5. It is requested that SMABOVE be very discreet in whatever
contacts they make with Canadian citizens as a result of any informa-
tion reported to then which emanates from AECASSOWARY sources as we
would want to protect the AECASSOWAR/ES from any compromise.
