Agadzhanov had been in Kenya since December 1965. He and Zakharov,
another Soviet representative were declared PNG for espionage activities. The
Kenyan Vice-President Daniel Moi, related the activities of Agadzhanov and
Zakharov to the illegal activities of Yuri N. Loginov who was arrested in
South Africa in September 1967. Loginov had been issued a false passport in
Nairobi and had visited Kenya several times when he was in touch with Soviet
diplomat BEKHTEREV, Kenya in December 1967. Sources: East African Standard,

expelled but, following Izvestiya's disclosure, it was revealed that the
Spviets had engaged in activities "totally inconsistent" with their status
as trade delegates. According to the London Times of 20 June, they were
caught red-handed spying on a large installation of the Ministry of Defense.

Government would probably not have made the matter public. Dushkin had been
in Great Britian for 32 years.
