INTRODUCING A MR. FEDOSIMOV

BORIS FEDOSIMOV 2012

Is this a relative of the man that appears in our photograph below? Given that the Fedosimov surname is not particularly prevalent in the USSR or anywhere else for that matter, we would hope to be able to acquire more information on this man and his ancestors. He may or may not be related to the Pavel Fedosimov whose name appears in United Nations records and certain CIA documents that show his name as a diplomat in Libya in 1957.

I don't see any particular resemblance between the man above and the image below and he may not be related to our United Nations man either.

The big question remains, is the man in the image below the same Pavel Fedosimov that we traced to the UN and to a diplomatic posting? If he is and we can show photographic evidence to that effect then we will of course remove him from our list of candidates.

If that photographic evidence is not forthcoming or, alternatively, if we find evidence that we have two different men, then he will remain as a prime candidate.

This is the man who was named as Pavel Fedosimov by the TASS news service in 1947. At this time we have little further information about Boris but we will update you as and when any information comes to light.

A note for those new to this part of the case, in the Cold War it was common practice on all sides to use pseudonyms to further muddy the waters around the various activities of the intelligence agencies. Indeed, it was often the case that when a 'diplomat' moved from one location to another, he changed his name and passport details. They even changed their cover names regularly.
