Cryptonym: AEDONOR

Return to Main Crypts Page

Definition:
Soviet officer Yuri Ivonovich Nosenko, who defected in Feb 1964 with information about Oswald.
Status:
Documented
Discussion:
Nosenko apparently was assigned three separate crypts at different times: AEBARMAN, AEFOXTROT, and AEDONOR. For further discussion, see the AEBARMAN crypt entry.
Sources:

Cold Warrior, by Tom Mangold, p.166

from the book: [Nosenko's] designation would later be changed twice for routine security reasons, first to "AEBARMAN" and then to "AEDONOR" after 1965.

104-10054-10378: MEMO EVALUATING AEDONOR'S INFORMATION ON OSWALD

This memo for the chief of CIA'S Soviet Russia division is clearly about Nosenko.

104-10429-10115: MEMO:FOLLOW-UP REPORT ON THE OSWALD CASE/AEDONOR

Another memo reporting on interviews with Nosenko; this one's NARA RIF sheet has both NOSENKO and AEDONOR as subjects.

104-10072-10187: POSSIBLE IDENTITY OF MEXICAN KGB AGENT, (FNU) MORA.

6/6/69 dispatch from Chief of Station, Mexico City to Chief, SB Division: Station reviewed files to see if Juan Miguel de Mora Vaquerizo (201-239192) might be the Mexican KGB agent described by AEDONOR, and it was decided he was not. "On the other hand, a detailed review of the thick station file on Dolores de la Mora Cepeda (201-827197) revealed several traces which seemed to fit the description...despite the assumption that the KGB agent referred to was a male...a far more credible candidate as the KGB agent...she (was) the director and owner of Nueva Provincia, a newspaper in Lagos de Morenos, Jalisco, single and described as the youngest director of a newspaper...has made several trips to Cuba...bragged about her friendship with Fidel Castro...her most frequent contacts in the past, per LIENVOY, have been Ramon Sinobas (note: AMRIFT-1 - 201-334249), Reynaldo Cepeda (note: LIRING-10 - 201-776733) and Manuel Vega Perez (note: LIPOON), all known Cuban intelligence officers.
