In mid-October AMBERT[ii] tried to get in touch with KNYaZi[iii]. ,The
latter's wife stated that KNYaZ' had left for the PROVINCES[iv] and would return
after Christmas. At one time KNYaZ' was compelled to resign because of the
dismissal of LUN' s[v] former deputy on the grounds of organisational and political
disagreement.
As a result of the election, LUN'is dismissal and the appointment of LCTsMAN[vi]
in his place are not ruled out. Inasmuch as KNYaZ' is friendly with LCTsMAN
[1 group unrecovered] he could count on a leading post in the BANK[vii].

About five months ago, having proposed to AL'BERT the suspension of meetings
with KNYaZ', you promised to give, subsequently, instructions on how AL'BERT would
explain the break to KNYaZ'. AL'BERT considers that a complicated explanation is
not necessary as KNYaZ' knew of AL'BERT's chronic illness and himself recommended
the latter to go away to the COUNTRYSIDE[viii] or to ARIZCNA for a few months
[34 groups unrecoverable]
use:
1. If LCTsMAN gets an interesting post it goes without saying that KNYaZ' must
"get in on it" by using his friendship.
2. If not, then we can try notwithstanding to use KNYaZ"s proximity to LCTsMAN
to fix. him. up in a suitable establishment, still extracting, via him, interest-
ing information which will [C% in any case] come LOTsMAN's way; or to send
him to MI[ix] or to some other place in the PROVINCES, using the cover of _
representative of a firm (according to AL'BERT the PROVINCIAL[iv] experience
of KNYaZ' allows him to count on any such appointment), and there to use him
as the head of a private office (instead of, or with, ChEKh[x]).
If you agree I shall brief ALYBERT in this spirit.
We consider that KNYaZ' should be turned over to VADIM[xi] only after AL'BERT
has ascertained his prospects.
