Key participants were Mr. BROWN, Head of the CBC International Department and Mr. SOMNER, the CBC Security Officer. 2. The CBC was concerned over the fact that they were not fully aware of the background of and had in fact known little of his past until the article appeared in The Gazette in March 1976. Mr. BROWN was apprized of the fact that his predecessor in Montreal had been given a briefing on I approximately 2 years ago and that we had seen no need to discuss the matter with other CBC staff at that time. 3. The four men were given a complete background brief ing on ' together with a resume of our current concerns about him. A general discussion on the handling and settle ment of defectors in Canada took place^^n response to a direct question by Mr. SOMNER, they were told that no other defectors were currently employed by CBC, International Depart ment. 4. Due to language fluency requirements in the Inter national Department, the CBC expressed concerns over their employment practices and the backgrounds of people they employed, as most came from Eastern Europe. The D.G. affirmed our willingness to screen any current or fUure CBC employees and agreed to brief the CBC Security Officer should any future defectors seek and obtain employment with CBC. 5. The discussion ended on a cordial note and the CBC appeared satisfied with the results of the meeting.

SHORT V/AVE LIES Anyone interested in radio knows that short wave transmissions can be inaudible a short distance from the transmitter and yet can be heard perfectly even thousands of kilometers away. This electromagnetic phenomenon is frequently accompanied by a political phenomenon. This consists of a radiostation transmitting broadcasts to listeners in far-off countries which it would never permit listeners at home to hear for fear that the dation would be sued for libel and slander.- An example of such a situation is a radiostation which announces its appearance on the airwaves with the words "Canada calling". Who is it speaking into the microphone at the radiostation when they broadcast in Russian and Ukrainian? Are they perhaps people who actually have the right to speak in Canada's name? Are they people who express the popular opinion of this country and who represent the traditions and way of thinking of its people? Not at all. It is sufficient to compare the contents of these broadcasts with the official declarations of Canadian government authorities and political leaders and with pronouncements by represent atives of the Canadian public to see that this is not so. "Friendship cannot be (illegible -trans). Like other treasures, it is rare and we must preserve it" - thus 6'A-j 7>-^' ' FILE No.1 REPORT DATE AH. No PAGE No 3103(18/09) / OF...<f?

Jerome, speaking on the same theme, quite rightly emphasized the desirability of non-interference in (another country* s) internal affairs: "^Ve are not going to convince you to ^ introduce capitalism, just as you do not intend to persuade us to build socialism". "I saw the achievements of your people during years of peaceful construction. All of this brings forth in Canadians a sense of deep respect for the Soviet people who are our nearest northern neighbours and with whom we want to live in peace and friendship" said another Canadian leader, S. Hodgson, commissioner of the North IVest Territories. The same is said by real Canadians who are trusted by their compatriots and who are concerned with the national interests of the country. But what does "Radio Canada" broadcast, more particularly, that service in charge of shortwave transmissions in Russian and Ukrainian? What idea of Canadian intentions, indeed of Canadians themselves, will a radio listener form as a result of these broad- . casts? If we judge by these broadcasts, we might think that the Canadian people were no longer peace-loving and friendly neighbours of our country but acrimonious, quarrelsome, even hostile foes. % Broadcasting to the Soviet Union, the authors of these broadcasts by Canadian radio display the most touching concern for every kind of renegade, known in the West as a "dissident"; they rejoice over isolated critical remarks in the ^oviet press. From beginning to end, they attempt (original illegible -trans.) ... propaganda which is exactly contrary to the position taken by the leader of the Canadian House of commons, ^ indeed by many other Canadian leaders, ie. interference internal affairs of another country.'^"'^ ^ ^ REPORT DATE ATT.

To listen to them, the * Canadian people live the bird of paradise - without trouble or care. Under their pens, the serious social and economic problems of the capitalist world - and Canada is no exception - are transformed with surprising ease into trifling inconveniences hardly worth talking about. What is Boo,000 unemployed in a country vjith a population of 23,000,000? Trivial. An unemployed Canadian receives assistance which enables him to live like a king. If those deprived of the right to work and forced, in the flower of their manhood, to become beggars could only hear similar rationalizations of anarchical capitalist methods of production, the authors of these broadcasts would not only be iiowled down, they would be stoned alive. It should be pointed out that Canadian radio broadcasts destined for listeners in their own country, and therefore under the gaze of Canadian society, have little in common with t'le transmissions of the Russian and Ukrainian sections. Internal programming, especially in more recent times, has been characterized by solid information about life in the USSR, its politics and so on while the nationality problems of the country are examined with a great deal more seriousness and goodwill. The problem is that the Russian and Ukrainian sections of the Canadian radio network have become a refuge for emigres who have very good reasons to hate the Soviet people inasmuch as a traitor always hates those whom he has betrayed.

Here too is (FNU) Ryabov, well known to the Montreal police as a drunk and a seducer. Here is Shurrian, the author of most of the commentaries and background reports for Russian language programs. He is a traitor to his country and abandoned his family and close friends to seek the "sweet life" abroad. A close-knit bunch, one as bad as the other. This crowd is conducting a "cold war" over the airwaves of Canadian radio, indifferent to international agreements...( illegible)... the barest requirements of the ethics of journalism. These traitors and slanderers in the Russian and Ukrainian sections of Canadian radio conduct their idiocy in concert, organized by centres of international ideological subversion, centres to whom the new breezes in linternational life are clearly unpleasant. It must be said that in conversations with Soviet journalists representatives of the Canadian radio netvwrk have frequently complained of the dominance of defectors and emigres in the Russian and Ukrainian sections. They recognize that such a crowd has not the slightest right to speak over the air in Canada's name. Unfortunately, they added, there were formal and political circumstances which prevent the purging of these slanderers from Canadian radio studios. It is not for us to judge whether or not this is so. It is obvious, however, that henceforth the Oleyniks and the Ryabovs will be doing Canadian radio no honour when they speak over the air in its name.

Copies of these letters are attached. You will note from Mr. Fortier's letter of May 5 that, in this case, the Secretary of State decided against taking any action under procedures in the Canadian Citizenship Act for the revocation of citizenship. Insofar as the Schuman case is concerned, the Registrar of Citizenship indicated in my meeting with him that his Department should have no difficulty responding to questions from Robert Bull, the author of the Vancouver Sun story, and believed the matter could be put to rest. In the event questions should arise in the House or from the media, the Secretary of State, as you will note from Mr. Fortier's letter, will draw from the proposed statement (copy attached) agreed to by the [Reviowefi—■—- -f"' r 3103(18/09) '''90,, p. | \ SECURITV SWVlCt 1.

A set of exceptional procedures for assisting CoBBBonist bloc defectors were devised during the cold war, with a view to , who it is believed, have reason to fear for their personal safety if the Communist government concerned should learn of their whereabouts. An Interdepartjsental Cosmtittee on Defectors was established to exasilne each case with a view to determining its merits, based essentially on humanitarian considerations, but also on the contribution the individual has made or could suike to western knowledge of the country concerned. The Committee is composed of this Department, the Department of Manpower and Iimaigration and the RCMP. If a case is approved, and our records indicate that since the arrangement was agreed to , Canada has accepted only Mr. A. Portier, Deputy Minister, ... 2 Department of Secretary of State, OTTAWA.

The Schuiuan case reveals a serious lacuna in the existing procedures insofar as the possible eventual interest of a defector in obtaining Canadian citizenship had not been taken into account. // I would therefore propose, if you agree, that officers of our Department consult invnediately first, with respect to how to deal with the Schuman case, which represents a potential source of ^-5" embarrassment to the Government and second, with a view to reviewing the existing defector procedures to ensure that provision is made to include the Department of the Secretary of State in future consultations on defector cases. I understand that Mr. Seymour, the Director, Intelligence and Security Liaison Division in this Department, discussed the Schuman case in general terras with Mr. Nichols, the Registrar of Citizenship. I would suggest that Mr. Nichols or whoever you may wisn to designate, contact Mr. Seymour urgently with a view to reaching agreement as soon as possible on handling the citizenship aspect of defectors cases, in particular Mr. Scliuman's case.

I regret the delay in replying but we have given the matter a good deal of thought in the interim. Your Mr. Seymour did of Canadian Citizenship and we statement for use in answer to Thomas Schuman case" which Mr. indeed visit the Registrar have the "proposed questions on the Seymour left. They discussed the matter of including this Department in any future committee deciding cases similar to Schuman's. Although the Canadian Citizenship Act establishes a procedure for revocation of citizenship in cases of false representation or fraud or concealing material circumstances, there is no actual obligation upon the Minister to institute the procedure. It is therefore his decision that he will not do so in the Schuman case, the Canadian Government (represented by your Department, Immigration and the Solicitor General) having agreed to the name change. ../2 ^ 3103(18/09) ^ ^O/v ^ ^ �""Ok/. -Pff, 1.

George SEYMOUR - External Affairs John VENNER - External Affairs Dalt COLLINS Bob McGIBBON - Manpower & Immigration - Special Research Bureau Bob DUFF - RCMP 2. Discussion centered around the attached article 3. External Affairs were concerned that questions from the Vancouver Sun dated April 1976, written by Rob BULL, would be raised in the House of Commons and that unless the Defector Committee was prepared to be very frank that the issue of a Government cover-up could also be a factor. One of the key points was that SCHUMAN had stated in his Appli cation for Canadian Citizenship that he had not changed his name nor had he ever been known by another name. After lengthy discussions it was resolved that Mr. SEYMOUR would advise the Secretary of State of the existance of the Defector Committee and its involvement with SCHUMAN. He would then propose a letter of response to BULL from the Secretary of State. The thrust of a response would be along the following lines: The Government was fully aware of the background of the SCHUMAN case. Mr. SCHUMAN met all immigration requirements and was granted landed status. The Canadian Government accepted his change of name on humanitarian grounds. It would not be in the best interests of Mr. SCHUMAN or the Canadian Government to comment further. 4. The above comments would also serve as a basis for answering any questions that were raised in the House of Commons. ... 2 4^ € />;f C/y;: ^75^ 3103(18/09) \ 7 Bit I "" C.!:RV!CE| IsicuR-.'.',:;-, ] �(60/81.)e0lC b" '0?

SCHUMAN has been handled by Bob McGIBBON of SRB and he will be in contact in order to once again lay down the law concerning statements to the press. SCHUMAN has left CBC and he is almost rabid in his dislike for the CBC Inter national Department and some employees in it. 6. There was concern over what statements SCHUMAN may make about his departure from India 7. Mr. SEYMOUR raised grave concern as to This is probably a question to be asked by the Secretary of State and we will supply the answer for External Affairs. 8. Mr, SEYMOUR also took the opportunity to suggest that the terms of reference for the Defector Committee should be examined.

Jelinek (Toronto High Park-Humber Valley) said that Maj. Vladimir Vasiliev, assistant air attache at the embassy here, was expelled from Lebanon in 1969 for trying to steal Mirage jets. Vladimir Veber, second sec retary for consular affairs, had been exiwlied from the United Kingdom, he said. He tried to. have an emergency Commons debate held on a motion to have the Mouse Instruct MacEachen to tell the Soviet Embassy to have "KGB agents posing as part of their diplomatic staff" recalled at once. The motion was refused consent. "At least half of the so-called diplomats accredited to the Soviet Emba-ssy in Otta-wa are agents of the • KGB, some of whom are known to have taken part in il legal and clandestine operations," Jelinek said, mention ing Maj. Vasiliev. , Later, in respon.''e to a question by Jelinek, Solici tor-General Warren Allrnand said the RCMP is "well aware that certain members (of the embassy) are with the KGB and have been aware of this for some time." f^O ■'H A 0/1/ -' ^Oc<f Af/!/> 3103(18/09) SOff .n' 1 w r �%/:> '''4'/;- -'kti- ' 4' ■ %7'^%7'V L'fe. ^O/o, ■%'£?;'"' ^Oy-f, 'Pi hSp 4/ %4n Ppf^'^'Pf ?)V£^ ^4/^ '^'Va .

We spent from 1115 to 1515 discussing his problems with him. c.c. RCMP/SS 2. The following is a brief summary of our discussionst (a) Schuman's Canadian Citizenship /' Schuman, using his present name, appeared before a woman Judge pf the Citisenship Court for a preliminary questicxiing concerning his citizenship. He answered one or two simple questions, and then it was all drer. He is to appear with a niiraber of others at a formal swearing in in the very near future. We explained to Schuman that should he for some reason wish to change his name he could do so by legal means after he becomes a citizen. He agreed.

'Qa/^ M / (c) Schuman*3 Wrg;e to Publish Schuman e^qilalned again his tremendous urge to publish, either by newspaper articles or. in the form of a book, his descriptions of the Novosti Press* He has discussed this possibility with a number of peoi^e, including an American journalist who once lived in India* He did not appear to understand fully the fact that any editor would wish to probe deeply all his background, probably including the facts surrounding his defection, in order to establish Schuman's bona fides in his area of claimed e^qjertise* He repeatedly stated that he could see no reason why he sbpuld have to discuss his defection with an editor. (d) Schuman*s Plans in the CBC Since February 1975 Schuman has hoped to work, at least part~time, in the Ehgllsh news section of the CBC* This would give him a wider experience, and broaden the base of his expertise in case he decides to leave the CBC and go into Journalism as a repoirter* He talked about the possibility of Joining the V(lnnii>eg Free Press. He is clearly very fx\istrated with his present situation in the Bitexnational Service of the CBC, and is very anriious to escape from there, either into the Buglish language service or Journalism* To date he has had no positive reply to his requests for transfer. He blames the lack of le^ership, decision and administrative ability in the management of the Intemational Service* "They do not want to rock the boat." If he does break loose from the CBC and become an independent unrestrained iJoumalist, he may well publish articles which would provol some sort of action on the part of the Russians* He clearly feels he has a mission to expose the Soviet propaganda system* In so doing, he may revealuaoj^ than he realizes, and stir up trouble for those idio have helped him over the past five years* ..*/2 I/A 3103(18/09) ' �;>/o7"c6„^ °''Of^ .f'V l,f^-^77, ' ^ ^ ^O/y ^ A/yr. ^C'c/ ^ t'o%/V> > y/c> %o ^/y / '•"Vfo^79o, '■''-'/S/nfOo, A '"""'S/O^Oot- A aSC'°'AA'"% °<.„.o»„.t»,.

Security 2. I checked with Mr. F.D. Collins of Immigration and ascertained that all Schuman records for purposes of immigration are in the name of Schuman - not Bezmenov. He landed in Toronto (Malton) on l6 July 70. 3. I contacted Schuman at 0900 on l6 Oct 75* He re-iterated his thoughts about changing his name - this time saying he did not wish to commit perjury. 4. I explained to him that as he had entered Canada under the name of SchumanI could not see how he could be conmitting perjury by swearing to his new name. Furthermore, his application to the Clerk of the Court for Citizenship had been made in the name of Schuman, and this application had been posted for two months. Thus, it would seem that his citizenship papers would have already been raade^ut in the name of Schuman. To suddenly change his name back to Yiud. Bezmenov would obviously lead to considerable cuiriosity on the part of court officials and subsequent questions. It would also seem reasonable that the Court would postpone granting him citizenship until they had investigated the case, and the reasons for Schuman changing his name to Bezmenov again. 5. I also spoke to him about . I strongly advised against this. To be honest, Schuman never even mentioned until he was discussing making out his will some two years ago. He asked me how he should leave his money. I suggested - which came as a bit of a was adamant that , Now, having : surprise to him.

I talked to George Seymour and John Venner about Schuman on 8 Sept 75 and it was decided that I should try to head Schuman off from making some sort of foolish move. As you can see, he did not, on my first telephone call, admit that he had already replied to Schuman also explained that he was thinking of leaving the CBC and going into journalism - possibly in Toronto or Winnipeg. He was pretty vague about this, but obviously feels he has had enough of life in the International Service of the CBC.

Attn; Mr. John Wiebe Security Service Tomas Schuman ^On^Thursday, 5 December 74, Mr. C.R. Landon and I saw Tomas Schuman again in Montreal. The following is a brief summary of our discussion. I am enclosing an additional copy of this letter for onward transmission to Mr. Frank Pratt of "C" Division for his information please. The main reason for our visit was Schuman's tentative request to be allowed to publish articles on the "workings of the Soviet media", to appear on television if requested, and, if requested, to take part in symposia (probably in the USA) on the subject. Schuman told us that he felt very strongly that the North American public was being led astray by the media, which often carried Soviet written/inspired articles lauding the Soviet way of life, Soviet aid to underdeveloped countries, etc. Schuman felt that much of the i^ormation contained in such articles is false and misleading - indeed it is deliberate misinformation. As he had been personally involved - while in India - right person to expose the Russian system. he felt he was the We were absolutely adamant that he should not appear on T.V. and, after we explained the risks, he agreed. We discussed his ideas about writing articles and learned he had already been in touch with ; .../2 ' 6':o ^ ' rv .,0,/ •■is 'fV, 3103(18/09) �<■0/ o. 7%p." %/ ^ ^Cf-' -'U-A QV, A %L a,- 'f(~\''f^ '' /q ^ ^%/u ■; Ma/^ '^5&;4'?C ' j A r,o P^ff / , '^ / 7a %A> a °'Sa»o, i'^ ^O ^Oa <oP 3103(18/09) �\ SECRET SRB : W -2- thought Schuman's scheme would be worthwhile, sQ.thoi:gh there were no commitments on either side. It appears, however, that if Schuman does write for the press (presumably with the assistance of a qualified journalist/editor) the latter would wish to check out all Schuman's background. ("Any competent writer could do this easily".) We pointed out that as Schuman , it v/oiild not be long before Schuman's real name and history would become public property. We further pointed out that should Schuman's real name and story become known, the events leading . . up to his escape from India, his entry to Canada and his registration at the University of Toronto, etc. could cause considerable embarrassment to . It might also make it difficult for rt Canadian authorities ever to help anyone who found himself in Schuman's former position. I think we made Schuman see the sense of keeping as quiet as possible. We suggested that he might give the facts of Soviet disinformation practices to a fellow journalist and let the latter write the articles - ^(5^ or even write one himself txnder a nom de plume, if he felt so compelled. He said he would consider such action. ^ Schuman seemed rather depressed and unhappy. He had, the week before, been on a real alcoholic binge and was still feeling the effects. ■ . . He was also very dissatisfied with working conditions in the CBC, especially the yelling and shouting, backbiting and knifing that goes on all the time in the Russian section. He felt he would prefer to work as a freelance writer rather than as a permanent employee of the CBC. Just at the moment the CBC are in the process of deciding whether they should start offering contracts to freelance writers such as Schuman. However, in Schuman's case they would much prefer him to remain on staff, as he is useful to them in an all—round way (administrative chores, splicing tapes, etc.) which others in the Russian section cannot do.
