UEESR Foreign Minister Dzhoubinsky to Maxim G. Krylenkoff, Ambassador at Nanking:

3 March, 1984

Comrade Ambassador:

It is desired that you make immediate secret and confidential repeat secret and confidential inquiry as to
the whereabouts of Dr. Dimitri O. Voronoff, the noted Soviet rocket expert, designer of the new guided
missile Marxist Victory, who vanished a week ago from the Josef Vissarionovitch Djugashvli
Reaction-Propulsion Laboratories at Molotovgorod. It is feared in Government circles that this noted
scientist has been abducted by agents of the United Peoples' Republics of East Asia, possibly to extract
from him, under torture, information of a secret technical nature.

As you know, this is but the latest of a series of such disappearances, beginning about five years ago,
when the Khakum River question first arose.

Your utmost activity in this matter is required.

Dzhoubinsky




Ambassador Krylenkoff to Foreign Minister Dzhoubinsky:

9 March, 1984

Comrade Foreign Minister:

Since receipt of yours of 3/3/'84, I have been utilizing all resources at my disposal in the matter of the
noted scientist D. O. Voronoff, and availing myself of all sources of information, e.g., spies, secret agents,
disaffected elements of the local population, and including two UPREA Cabinet Ministers on my payroll.
I regret to report that results of this investigation have been entirely negative. No one here appears to
know anything of the whereabouts of Dr. Voronoff.

At the same time, there is considerable concern in UPREA Government circles over the disappearances
of certain prominent East Asian scientists, e.g.. Dr. Hong Foo, the nuclear physicist; Dr. Hin Yang-Woo,
the great theoretical mathematician; Dr. Mong Shing, the electronics expert. I am informed that UPREA
Government sources are attributing these disappearances to us.

I can only say that I am sincerely sorry that this is not the case.

Krylenkoff
