translate a few Russian abbreviations and acronyms that would be incomprehensible in English. I also have included annotations to point out certain features of the text and to identify or comment on events that Anoshkin discusses. In addition, I have compiled a list (printed below) of people mentioned in the notebook, indicating the

main positions they held in December 1981. The list omits a few individuals of minor importance, but all key Polish and Soviet officials are identified there.

Mark Kramer, a frequent contributor to the Bulletin, is the

Conversation with

Cde. S. S. Gurunov

We arrived from the Embassy. Meetings with Aristov and Pavlov. The news is that no teleg. has yet come. We sent a 2nd ciphered teleg. under three signatures. . . . . . .2

Senior officers/generals are working in the Gen. Staff bldg.3

1. Simultan. they are stepping up their attacks against Poland's allied ties with the USSR.4

Pravda on 11.12, p. 5

on tele vis

They are pressing demagogic demands about Poland's withdrawal from the Warsaw Pact and
CMEA, as well as about the use of lines of communication passing through Polish territory
for alliance purposes.5

Individual provocateurs are raising doubts about the existing Soviet-Polish borders and are maliciously defaming the history of the Soviet Army's role in liberating Poland from

the Hitlerite occupiers.

All of this has caused legitimate consternation among the Soviet people.

11 DECEMBER

From 7:30 a.m. (Moscow time) VG' gathered the generals to size up the situation. We reported it to DF8 the tone of the conversation was moderate!!

[blocks in formation]

11:30 Talks Between VG and Siwicki. They exchanged views. Siwicki requested that we come for lunch at around 14-15:00 today.

Cde. Pavlov requested VG to speak with

D. F. Ustinov about receiving Vladimir
Aleksandrovich Kryuchkov in Poland.

"At this stage there will be no Soviet presence"

- that is the answer we gave to

Com. Milewski in Moscow (see the telegram of B. I. Aristov on 10.12.81)

"You are distancing yourselves from us” - Jaruzelski

[blocks in formation]

16:35 ?! VG arrived from the residence of Cde. Aristov, who reported on an extremely confidential basis that:

1. As instructed - Called - Jaruzelski and Milewski and raised questions:

(1)

We request that someone from the political leadership come to our country. Who will and when?

(2) — To send a message of support to us. Aristov said that representation at the Center has been arranged.

(3) - Can we count on assistance of a military sort from the USSR? (about the additional sending of troops)

(4) — What sort of measures of economic aid can the USSR provide to Poland?

This is terrible news for us!!

A year-and-a-half of chattering about the sending of troops went on-now everything has disappeared. What is Jaruzelski's situation now?!"
