L E A G U E OF N A T I O N SGH C O MMI SSI O N FOR RUSSI AN REFUGEES

29th June, 1923.

J If / L N / 254

Mr. Johnson,Assistant High Commissioner for Refugees League of Nations Geneva.

Dear Johnson,

I have had a very long talk this morning regarding

the whole Russian situation with Mr.Minkoff, Director of Poli­

tical Affairs at the Foreign Office. It is probable that Mr.

Minkoff will be the channel by which all Russian affairs will

pass. I shall now give you a résumé of our conversation under

different headings.

I.-Repatriation.

Mr.Minkoffs point of view is that all Russians

in Bulgaria must be given the chance of returning to Russia.

He tells me that his intention is not to allow any Bolshevik

propaganda nor to allow any propaganda by the old Russian

Organisations against repatriation. He tells me that his

Government will allow repatriation to be carried on although

it will be highly advisable in fact essential to change the

Chief of the Red Cross Delegation. His name is Koretsky and

it seems he has been writing rude letters to the Ministry of

Foreign Affairs. Koreshkoff has been absent for at least three

months and it is high time he came back. In this connection I

confirm my telegram of to days date reading as follows:

* Government will allow repatriation but essential Koretsky present Delegate Red Cross here recalled immediately and Koreshkoff ordered return stop have written W403 Colenso".

Another very important point raised by Mr.Minkoff

is that repatriation of Bulgarians from Russia should take place

in conjunction with the present repatriation here. That is to

say the Bulgarians should return by the boats we send from here

whilst Gorvins Mission should interest themselves in the matter.

This question will however form the subject of a separate report

I think Mr,Minkoffs viewpoint is very good and the matter should

now proceed satisfactorily. Mr. Minkoff and I will shortly

draw up a protocol in connection with repatriation which I will

submit to you before signing.

2. The entry of Ru»siars into Bulgaria.

Mr.Minkoff insists that this should stop. Ho says

that the country cannot absorb any more refugees. I feel we

shall have to accede to his deeire. In any case there can be

very few more who desire to come from Constantinople but

regards this I am telegraphing Childs. Although this may some­

what inconvenience Childs I feel that Bulgaria has taken so many

Bussians that it Is quite resonable that she wants to atop.

Mr.Minkoff points out that many of the persons brought in are

now on the charge on the State and that this charge shows scarcely

any signs of diminution .

I have however every hope that towards the end of the year the

Bulgarian Government will make a grant towards the maintenance

of the children whilst at present they will try and insist that

a grant is made out of the II million Levas Fund.

3. The situation of Russiaifein Bulgaria.

This will proceed along the same lines as formerly

4. I think these are the salient facts which

arose during our conversation. I shall wait your reply with

interest and meanwhile hope that you will be able to arrange

for Koreshkoff or someone else to come here at once and

replace Koretsky.I myself have had no actual scandal with

Koretsky but he is exceedingly difficult to work with and

bombards me with petitions from invalids which are mostly

ill founded .

With kind regards

Yours truly

Representative of the League of Nations for Russian Refugees in Bulgaria.

Mr. Johnson,...______ High Corfor Refugees League of Nations

Confidential

Dear Johnson,

I confirm my two telegrams of to days date reading

as fol’ows:

"Your 343 stop would refer you my 404 stop is

» 'difficulty money or Gorvin stop refugees commencing proceed

Varna and urgent remnittance fclOCO absolutely essential if

refugges aro to be repatriated 174C7 Golenso".

"Cancel my 407 stop Red Cross unwilling do any

repatriation meanwhile have written W408 Colonso".

A few minutes after I had sont the first telegraçi,

M.Koretsky, acting Representative of the Russian Red Cross, came

to see me and informed me that one of his agents a certain

Mr. Shelepougino had been killed at Pleven, on July 6th. I have

promised to make an investigation into the affair and will inform

you of the results. M.Koretsky tells me that he has

informed Moscow and Berlin of Mr Shelepougine death and that he

is of the opinion that owing to the frequent arrests of his

agents, repatriation cannot proceed. He was quite emphatic on

this point so I sent you the second telegram.Meanwhile M.Koretsky

wishes to proceed to Berlin in order to consult with his supe­

riors. He has asked me to help him in securing the necessary

visas which I promised to do. My own opinion is that repatria­

tion gannot go unless another Chief is sent. Koretsky does not

get on well with the Bulgarian Government whilst the Bulgarian

Red Cross, who are asked by their Geneva Office to enquire into

L E A G U E O F N A T I O N SI IGH C OMMI SSI ON FOR RUSSI AN REFUGEES

the alleged persecutions of Koretskys agents, tell me that they

only know of Koretsky by reputation. They further point out

that the Statutes of the International Red Cross make it

obligatory for Koretsky to pay them a visit. Thus, in ny

opinion the first thing to be done is to send a new Chief. There

is no doubt that the present Bulgarian Government are in

favour of repatriation but I am afraid that certain persons

connected with the work of repatriation have meddled in political

affairs, thus discrediting the Red Cross, presenting repatriation,

and calling forth retaliation on the part of the Bulgarian

Authorities.

If a nem man mho cun be made to realise the

delicacy of his task was sent to Sofia, things would once again

become normal.

Concerning the financial side of the question, I

cannot charter a boat until I receive money from you. You have

all my accounts excepting those for June which will be sent you

very shortly. The affair of the Ç00 odd Cossacks from Greece

and other miscellaneous expenses which could not possibly have

been avoided, have rendered necessary my asking you for money.

Meanwhile I am busying myself with trying to poor

oil on the troubled waters. The Bulgarian Government, the

Russian Red Crosp, the Bulgarian Red Cross, not to npeak of

private individuals all come to me concerning the whys and

wherefores of repatriation and it is no easy task to satisfy them:

all. However I am doing my best and shall not fail to keep you

informed of all important developments.

With kind regards Yours truly

Mr. Johnson,,Assistant High Commissio: for Refugees League of Rations Genevn.

113th Jul.v, 1923.

Urgent and Confidential.

L

Dear Johnson,

I have received this morning your telegram No.351

reading as follows:

"Your 40? and majority of code telegrams badly

mutilated and mostly unintelligible stop could preventive measures

be taken stop please repeat second paragraph (?) your 407 Johnson

35I"«

I have already spoken to the Post Office regarding

the mutilation of Code messages, but they say the mutilation does

not occur in Bulgaria. Your messages also arrive mutilated on the

majority of occafeions.

Regarding repatriation I regret to toll you that

rather a serious state of affairs seems to have arisen. I quote

you what I have received from Baker this morning;

"During the night 9/I0th the police raided our billet

and the Camp and arrested in fill about 20 of the Russians living

there. Since then some of them have been released, but II persons

remain in Custody. These are all persons connected with the

Repatriation Society or the Russian Red Cross. I wont to see the

Chief of Police this afternoon, and he told me that the per one

who have been arrested have all been found to be doing Bolshevik

propaganda in Varna and the district, and have been engaged in

receiving contraband literature, fun'::: and even irma fro the u

r L E A G U E OF N A T I O N SHI GH C O M M I S S I O N F O R R U S S I A N R E F U G E E S

Soviet steamers which call at Varna. The police have found

compromising documents which prove that the Repatriation Society,

the Russian Rod Cross,and the Bulgarian Communists have been

working together. I have, of course taken no action in the matter.

-eKf The Chief of Police asked me to request you to have the Russiansv i

xl* awaiting repatriation repatriated as soon as possible in order to

■ avoid a spread of Bolshevik propaganda. The Police have been very

correct in their attitude towards the employees of the League of

Nations and to those Russians who have not had intercourse with

the Bolshevik agitators. Morozoff and the whole of his staff,

including the In te Representative Zacharoff, have been arrested

and arms and secret correspondence have been found. I understand

that the police Authorities intend to send the whole lot to

Russia by the first Soviet steamer which calls here - the Serghy

Ignatioff, no doubt. I believe that Koreshkoff and Koretsky

will be implicated by the correspondence which has been found."

No doubt L I .Koretsky will deny all charges brought

against his Mission. Still it would seem to me that this is a

matter in which the prestige of the League is involved. It is as

yet too early to say what attitude the Bulgarian Government will

take up but I do not think that it is excluded that the Red Cross

Mission may be asked to withdraw. The latter seem to have broken

in the most flcgrnnt fashion the terms of the agreement under

which they were allowed to come to Bulgaria. You will no doubt

take the necessary steps with Moscow but meanv.'hile I must ask you

Telegrams : COLENSO SOFIA 6 rU| 0 r,An°VaTelephone : 1662 ^ _

for telegraphic " instructions regarding the attitude that you

wish me to take up. You will realise that I shall be in a

most difficult and delicate position here and I shallawait your

telegram.

With kind regards

Yours truly

Representative of the League of Nations for Russian Refugees in Bulgaria.

Monsieur,

Je me permets de vous communiquer ci-joint quelques

documents concernant les vexations et les répressions que subit

la Délégation de la Croix-Bouge Busse en Bulgarie.

Nous protestons vivement contre 1 'arrestation de l'Union

de retour à la patrie à Varna et des Membres de cette Union dans les

autres villes de la Bulgarie.

Veuillez agréer, Monsieur, l'expression de notre haute

considération.

Extrait de la lettre de Mr. Koretzky, adjoint du Délégué

de la Soèiété Russe de la Croix-Rouge en Bulgarie, à Mr. S.'"Bagotzky

dé légué de la Croix-Rouge Russe auprès du C.I.C.R.

"A l ’heure actuelle, malgré les affirmations de la Croix-Rouge,

Bulgare qui vous ont été transmises par le C.I.C.R., les collaborateurs

de la Mission de la Croix-Rouge Russe sont menacés àu point de vue

de la sûreté personnelle et tout le travail de la Mission est dv; s orga­

nisé. Au Mi istère des Affaires Egtaaggères, on m'a affirmé que le

Gouvernement Bulgare envisage d'une façon favorable le problème du

rapatriement et qu’on avisera au plus tard le Ministère de l'Intérieur

concernant toutes les mesures à prendre et les ordonnances correspon­

dant aux autorités locales.

Cependant, le 5 juillet, M. Rousseff, Ministre de l'Intérieur,

a décléré à la Délégation du Bureau Central de l'Union pour le rfctour

à la Patrie, qu'il est avisé pour la première fois des difficultés et

des répressions vis-à-vis de l'oeuvre do rapatriement.

La situation de la Mission de la Croix-Rouge Russe en Bulgarieÿu.

est très grave, ù cause de 11 assassinat de Schelepouj-nine, de 1 expul­

sion de Scherga, délégué à Chaskovo et de l'arrestation des nombreux

membres et collaborateurs de l'Association de retour à la Patrie.

Mr. Johnson,Assistant High Commissioner for Refugees League of Nations Geneva.

VConfidential.

Dear Johnson,

I herewith confirm my telegram of to days date

reading as follows :

"Reference repatriation Korotsky written Bulgarian

Government and myself stating Moscow instructed him withdraw his

Mission stop Government written Koretoky they entirely

favour repatriation and in no way insist that Mission leaves

Bulgaria stop full details follow by Xenakis 77412 Colenso".

I attach for your information copy of a letter

received from M r .Koretsky. I hope to be able to send you tomorrow

copy of the letter from 'he Bulgarian Government to Mr.Koretsky.

The Bulgarian Government have assured me both officially and

unofficially that they are altogether in favour of repatriation

and will aid it in every possible manner. The only condition they

make is that the Bed Cross Mission confind itself strictly to

repatriation work. I presume that the future depends on Moscow. ~

I hesitate to go more fully into the question until I hear your

views. At the same time I have an impression that Koretskys

letters may have be n dictated by the fact that he personally has

been recalled. In any case there are a certain number of refugees

at present awaiting repatriation.

I do not consider that the paragraphs of Vr.Koret- 1

akys letter to me in which he talks of the League not having, m

p a R H H

L E A G U E O F N A T I O N SHIGH C O M M IS S IO N FOR RU SSIAN REFUGEES

...TAioornmo- nm FNSO SOFIA 6 Rue Shenova

be worthy of remark. The Bulgarian Government have not ih any

way interfered with repatriation although their provincial

Authorities have arrested several Hed Gros ■■ agents who are

accused of having done Bolshevik propaganda.

With Kind regards

Yours truly

Representative of the League of Nations for Russian Refugees in Bulgaria.

Monsieur le Représentant

de la Ligue des Ma'ions

en Bulgarin.

En Vilïe

Monsieur, "VJ'ai l'honneur de vous informer, que j'ai

reçu la disposition du Comité Central de la Croix Rou­

ge Russe de Moscou de cesser le travail de.la Repré­

sentation en Bulgaria, en raison de l'absence de ga­

ranties suffisantes dû coté du Gouvernement Bulgare,

concernant la securité des collaborateurs et en vue

d'un travail sans résultats, dans ln position créée

par les Autorités Bulgares d'une opposition active à

l'oeuvre du rep^triement.

Conformément è cette disposition de la Croix

Rouge Russe, la Représentation quitte la Bulgarie.

En cessant le travail de lu Représentation,

je ne puis ne point exprimer mon extreme étonnement

sur ce que la Ligue des Nations, dont vous êtes le

Représentant, n'ait point emplyé tout son pro:tige

afin de forcer le Gouvernement Bulgare à créer la pos­

sibilité d'executer l'entente sur le r pntrioment des

réfugiés-- russes de la Bulgarie.

Je suppostj que si la Représentation de la Ligue

des Nations avait entrepris des mesures plus énergiques

nous n'aurions pas eu ni régime de la terreur, ni

assassinats des collaborateurs de la Représentation

J

r - , 1de la Croix Bouge Russe, nais au contraire noue aurions

trnt.TP np.mirnnr.fl flans la régularisationpu voir accomplie votre assurance dans la régularisation

par le Gouvernement Bulgare do l'oeuvre du rapatriement.

Malheureusement la situation créée en Bulgarie

a forcé la Représentation à cesser le travail qui avait

donné la possibilité h quelques milliers de réfugiés

russes de retrouver leur patrie.

Veuillez agréer, Monsieur, 1'assurance de ma

plus parfaite considération.

Dear Johnson,

I confirm my telegram of to dnyr date reading

as follows:

"Koretsky refuses isrue visas approximately

thousand refugees wishing return Russia stop I hear Soviet

have entrusted repatriation entirely Hansen stop this will be

much more satisfactory as Bulgarian Government who every day

impress on ne need repatriation should be able in conjunction

thir Office arrange whole matter without any of former

political difficulties stop if Soviet wont let me expedite

refugees awaiting repatriation its essential Koretsky ordered

issue visas refugees rendy proceed rtop please reply

urgently stop Nansen wired me about question please keep him

fully informed 7T4I5 Colenso"

In my opinion repatriation could be carried

on without the Soviet Red Crosr. It would however be

necessary for the Soviet to acquiesce and also to obtain

from the refugees a certificate that they are returning to

Russia at their own free will and at their own risk. I shall

be very interested to hear your views on this matter.

thing my power ensure repatriation continuing and new Bulgarian

Government doing all they can to help stop redcrors inform

me they leaving end month but I hoar Soviet will entrust you

with work repatriation stop this rill bo very much more satis­

factory as all previous political difficulties will removed

stop Bulgarian Government with whic' I in close touch would

I understand view this plan fovnrably stop I have and will

keep Johnson fully informed all events.

rue Shenova

In the early hours of this morning M.Xolfoff, the

Minister of Foreign Affairs, sent his motor oar to fetch me.

On arrival at the Foreign Office he acquainted ire with the facts

of the case. It appears that a very large Bolshevik conspiracy

has existed in Bulgaria and that the Bed Cross with Koretsky

at its head have greatly aided and abetted it. In fact the Red

Cross haveW»efully broken their engagement not to indulge in

politics. I felt it my duty to urgently expose you by telegram

what has happened. I must however emphasise once ag'iin that the

Bulgarian Government want repatriation to go on. In fact last

night K.Kalf'ff told me personally that he would welcome my

directing the affair as he considers that I am entirely impartial

and am in the most favorable position for doing this work, he has

promised me every support and provided that the Soviet allow Dr.

Nansen to continue repatriation, I consider that the eventu of the

last few days will have been advantageous rather than disadvan­

tageous. I am given copies of all telegrams sent by the

Bulgarian Go"ernaent o Dr. Hansen and we ore working in the

closest cooperation. This morning the Foreign Office requested

me to visit Koretsky again if he should so desire. This I will

do if he asks to see me. I dont think there is anything else for

the moment but I am sending a cppy of this letter to Dr. “unsen

as the Bulgarian Government are telegraphing him direct

Yours truly

N Copy Telegram from Sofia 81. 7. received 22. 7. 1923.

Dr. Nansen, High Commissioner, League Mations, Lysaker.

Referring to my previous telegram regret Inform your

excellency since its despatch we have obtained evidence placing

beyond doubt that under guise of repatriation work a Russian

Red Cross mission here organised vast nets of propaganda and

conspiracy against public order our country atop. Further

stay of mission not only incompatible with our internal

security, but threatens involve us diplomatic complications

with our neighbours stop. Under these circumstances and to

our great regret we had notify to-day delegate Koretzby and his

oollaagues they must quit Bulgarian territory aB soon as

possible stop. Bulgarian Government proposes to send Misa ion

by way of Varna and pending its departure will treat its

members with every regard due to their comfort security stop.

Respecting the repatriation work itself I beg assure once more

your excellency that Bulgarian Government looks at it with

genuine aympathy and is anxious that it should continue as

before atop. We propose that it should be entrusted to a

Commission appointed by Your Excellency and working under

your control, promising you our hearty co-operation.

No. 506 Zanboff Prime Minister of Bulgaria.

Copy. 25th July 1923.

Johnson,Nations,

P.t. Anaheim 25th. July 1923.

Perm, address : Lysaker

*7

My dear Johnson,

1I have just received here the telegrams

from Sofia, two from Zankoff and two from Collins. I

enclose copies of my telegrams to Zankoff and Collins, and

also to Litvinoff and to Gorvin. I take it that you have

already received copies of telegrams from Gorvin (H.457)

and from Zankoff and Collins.

The situation in Sofia seems to be a very

difficult one and obviously roouires immediate action on

our part. I think therefore it would be most desirable

that if possible you should go to Sofia as soon as possible

and look into matters and see what has actually taken place

and also to make the necessary arrangements for future

work. I am sure you could easily come to some satisfactory

agreement with the Bulgarian Government regarding the

protection of all Russian Refugees who wish to be repatriated,

which v/ould avoid all -noasibility of accusation of partiality

from our side. The difficulty is of course that Collins

is accused of being in with the Wrangel people, etc. and this

makes it necessary that the situation should be impartially

examined by us, and you would be enabled to do this, and then

we have done our duty. I sincerely hope that the accusations

against Collins are unfounded, but nevertheless we have to

examine it impartially when such accusations are made even

though of course we may have no reason to distrust Collins'

assurances to the contrary.

It is vary awkward for me to be away here

in the mountains just now, but I must have a little rest

just now, and I will hardly be back in Lysaker before the first

week of August miless it should be extremely necessary

I trust, however, you will be able to act

and. do what is necessary. We ought to have an answer

from Moscow soon, as to the repatriation of the

500 refugees now awaiting repatriation. I think it

would be well to have as many as possiblo sont off

soonest possible.

I have just roooived. your letter about

Procter's Memorandum, but unfortunately my

Secretary has not sent me a copy of the memorandum

so I have not seen it. I think it would be desirable

that Procter goes to Athens as soon as possiblo if

we have got some money left to send him. I am sure

he could do much useful work there to make the Greek

Government make all necessary preparations for the

settlement of the refugees on the land, surveying the

land which can be disposed of, etc, etc.

This in great hurry to catch the mail,

Yours sincerely,

FRIDTJOF NANSEN.

:6: I also enclose copies of three telegrams receivedfrom Zankoff and ono telegram from Gorvin in case you have not seen them.

J. Johnson Esq..,League nf Bâtions,

My dear Johnson,

Thanks for your letter of July 24 th with enclosures1,I doubt very much if the Soviet Government would intrust the repatriation work to our agent in Bulgaria after what they have wired about 0ollins3 I really believe the best thing for you is to go and to look into the matter before we decide anything further, is I told you already 1 thihJ the situation is extremely serious and I believe that our getting as much clearness as possible in the whole matter is of the utmost impor­tance .

Some Bussian journals asking information regarding repatration from Bulgaria, I would be very thankful if you would send me all reports concerning the repatriation of Bussian refugees from Bulgaria to Bussia/V- -C.

Believe me, dear Johnson,

Yours sincerely,

Vrf(Sd..A .Prick)

MINISTERE

SOPHIA, 1AFFAIRES ÉTRANGÈRES

DES CULTES

« /y/sMonsieur le Commandant, ^

Me référant à notre conversation d’hier, j’ai

l ’honneur de vous renouveler les assurances que le

Gouvernement Bulgare envisage avec sympathie le rapa­

triement des réfugiés russes et désire sincèrement

voir S.E.Monsieur le Docteur Nansen se charger de la

continuation de cette oeuvre humanitaire momentané­

ment interrompue par suite du départ de la mission

de la Croix Rouge Russe. Je vous serai très reconnais­

sant de vouloir bien informer le Haut Commissaire de

la Société des Nations que s’il consent à assumer cette

tâche, il pourra compter sur la collaboration dévouée

du Gouvernement Royal et de ses organes.

Le Gouvernement Bulgare ne s’opposera pas à

l ’envoi à Sofia d’un délégué et d’un adjoint de la

Croix Rouge Russe au cas où Monsieur Nansen serait

d ’avis que leur présence ici est indispensable pour

le fonctionnement régulier du service de rapatriement.

Il est entendu que les délégués de la Croix Rouge Russe

s’abstiendront de toute activité politique et ne s’oc­

cuperont que des questions ayant trait au rapatriement

des réfugiés russes. Le travail préparatoire dans la

province pourrait être confié aux branches locales de

la Croix Rouge Bulgare,qui a déjà promis au Comité In-

Haut Commissaire Adjoint de la Sooiété des Nations

Monsieur

le Commandant T.E.Johnson

pour les réfugiés,

r ternational de la Croix Rouge sa pleine coopération dans ce

but.

Il y a une autre condition sur laquelle le Gouverne­

ment Bulgare croit devoir insister. Un nombre considérable

de nationaux bulgares sont restés en Russie depuis la guerre.

Nos efforts pour les rapatrier sont restés jusqu’à présent

sans résultat aucun. Dans ces conditions,le Gouvernement Bul­

gare désirerait voir leur sort lié au sort des réfugiés rus­

ses en Bulgarie et espère que Monsieur Nansen trouvera le

moyen d ’assurer leur retour en Bulgarie.

Je vous prie de vouloir bien porter ce qui précède à

la connaissance du Haut Commissaire,en y ajoutant 1 ’expres­

sion de notre reconnaissance et de notre admiration.

Je saisis cette occasion,Monsieur le Commandant,de

vous renouveler les assurances de ma haute considération.

Eepomer Gorvin Koscow.

Dear Johnson,

Your mire of 6th from Constantinople to hand

this morning. It is quite imno~:;ible to post you copies to

Athens as letters take at loast a week. I am therefore

sending two conies of this letter to Vienna and Geneva. I now

enclose copy of telegram from Gorvin (annex I). It was in

code but we have done our best to docypher it. I alno enclose

cony of telegram from Dr. Nansen (annex 2).

In addition, I enclose correspondence from

Geneva (annex 3), copy of telegram from Nansen (annex 4) and

wo irivato letters (annexes 5).

It is obvious that the Soviet are bombarding

isen with complaints. I expected then to try and fix the

lame on me because they want to shift it from their owr

houlders. I think however that tho photographed copies of

documents found in the Russian Red Cross Offices will show

0 everyone concerned that Koretskys {fission indulged in conside­

rable intrigue and propaganda. At the invitation of the

iulgarian Government I was nresent at the opening of the seals

which were nut on the doors of the rooms in the Russian Hod

Cross containing the Archives. In conjunction with three

Bulgarians I examined tho papers. It was obvious that they

had not been touched rince the seel was put on. I should

say jtfca* ax rough estimate two thirds of the papers dealt

with repetriation end one third with espionage, propaganda,

+ These copies will be sent in a fow da1 J

intrigue, and similar non-repatriation natters. I am content

to leave tho accusations against the Bulgarian Government to

the reeder of thc'e dooum-nts. I pesonally consider that I

should hnva very seriously impaired the prestige of Dr .Nansen

if I had Mindly espoused the cause of the P.ed Cross Mission,

ivly taok is to help the refugees and to take up an impartial

attitude. My task is also to collaborate with the" Government

which has accepted my presencj here. I again maintain that the

accusations which Mr.Tohitcherin and other Soviet Officials have

brought against both me and my Varna Representative are absolutely

groundless and should be repudiated without delay. I

categorically deny having ever said that tho treatment of the

Bolsheviks to d-y resembles the treatment of Wrangelista last

year. I also categorically deny the accusation stating that I

took no action on learning from M.Xorotoky that his agents were

being persecuted.

The real fact of the matter is that M.Koretskye

Mission has "let down" L'oscow and Voscow is anxious to blame

somebody else. I know fully well how difficult it is to judge

things from distance but at the beginning of September I hope

to be able to give a verbal explanation of the whole matter.

There is however one urg-nt matter and that is the

presence at Varna of 1?00 refugees desirous to be repatriated.

These refugees arc being lodged by us and fed by the Bulgarian

Government. However this state of affairs cannot go on for ever

and if the Soviet Authorities v/ifih the refugees to be repatriated

they will need to send a Representative here.

Dear Johnson,

7tH August,1923.

two private letters (annexes 5).

It is obvious that the Soviet are bombarding

Nansen with complaints. I expected then to try and fix the

blame on me because they want to shift it from their own

shoulders. I think however that the photographed copies of

documents found in the Busuian Red Cross Offices will show

to everyone concerned that Koretskys Mission indulged in considi

rable intrigue «nd propaganda. At the invitation of the

Bulgarian Government I wss present at the opening of the seals

which were put on the doors of the rooms in the Russian Red

Bulgarians I examined the papers. It was obvious that they

had not been touched since the seal was put on. I should

say that at a rough estimate two thirds of the papers dealt

to leave the accusations against the Bulgarian Government to

the reader of these documents. I personally consider that I

should have very seriously impaired the prestige of Dr.Nansen

if I had blindly espoused the cause of the Red Cross Mission.

My task is to help the refugees and to take up an impartial

which has accepted my presence here. I again maintain that the

accusations which M.Tchitcherin and other Soviet Officials have

brought against both me and my Varna Representative are abso­

The real fact of the matter is that M.Koretskys

Mission has "let down" Moscow and Moscow is anxious to blame

Tejierp. aap. PEH OMEP Mockm. dear Johnson,

T<yi 84'l6' I acknowledge receipt of your letters

of 26th July Ho. 45/22278 x/22278 12th July Ho. 45/ N2278/H 2278, 11th

July No. 45/2JJ18 x/2 2 2 7 8 and of 14th July enclosing letter of 15th

June from Mr* Poincaré.

The letter of 1 5th June from Mr. Poinataré leads me to hope

that in the future we shall receive through the Nansen Repatriation Re­

presentative lists of the names of all the refugees leaving France for

Russia with their places of destination. As I have repeatedly pointed

out without these lists we are in a hopàless position to track down

people who are notified abroad as hamLsg been imprisoned or summarily

dealt with. This applies not only to France but to each country from

which Russian) are being repatriated.

The contents of your letter of 11th July No. 4 5 /2 5 3 1 8 x

/22278 I duly passed on verbally to the Commissariat for Foreign Af­

fairs who were already as you know in process of appointing Volkoff far

Bulgaria in plaee of Koretzky.

Unfortunately the position in Bulgaria did not improve and

the attached telegram from Mr. Tchétohérine to Dr. ^ansen shows that the

Russian Authorities have no immediate intention of appointing anyone to

Sofia. The feeling here is very strong against Collins and Baker, but

goingbut perhaps matters may be regulated by my again to Sofia for a few

.uring the leave I shall take almost immediatel^with a mandate

from Dr. Nansen to aot temporarily for him and the High Commission

in asking the Bulgarian Government to adopt a reasonable attitufie to­

wards the Russian official Representatives and the emigrants. I had

already in a telegram of 16th July urged Dr. Nansen that you should

go but I assume there were reasons against. In any oase perhaps

you may see certain advantages in my going as the Moscow people know

me and they have the feeling that I go directly for Nansen personally-,

certain quarters here unfortunately are still oppositious regarding

the LeagueI hope this attituAe will change in the near future.

As regards the Bulgarian Authorities, I am sure that some of the people

I know bn the Reparations Commission would help me along. I have sug­

gested this course also to Dr. Nansen and if you are all of one mind,

perhaps you will let me know through Frick.

As regards your letter of 12th July, I am afraid the sa­

tisfactory reply to the letter of 4th May is postponed indefinitely

owing to the Bulgarian position. The Commissariat now takes the line

that it will not tie itself up to any formulae also that in fact it

has accepted certain principles of action including the right of our

supervision here. They refuse to see any value from the point of view

of counter-propaganda MU sending back delegations and consider that

Dr. Nansen's right of inspection is sufficient. Perhaps you hardly

realise that the whole outlook of the Russian Authorities has changed

and that with the bettering of the Russian economic position - renewalisJL

of grain export etc. - they are beginning toffgt their own strength

and are jealous of their sovereign rights and independence. I will

speak to you of this when I see you shortly. What is the date of

ttf^League Assembly t I should have preferred to postpone the

general report until I get back from leave when I intended to visit

the stanizas and take a general survey on the spot of the condition

of the returned emigrants. Certainly the Soviet Authorities have in

general played the game in the question of the #ni grants. All the

arrests that have been brought to my notice by people in Russia have

been satisfactorily accounted for by the Authorities. Almost without

exception they were the result of a wrong filling up of Enquiry ïorms.

As regards allegations made outside Russia and in particular in res­

pect of the fate of officers such as those mentioned in your letter

of 26th July there is naturally more suspicion of this class from

the side of the Authorities and I have repeatedly asked the represen­

tatives of the High Commission to exercise the very greatest discre­

tion in the selection of/I officers for return to Russia and never,

at present in any case, to encourage them to return. This suspicion

extends to emigrants of any education.

The cases of Klotchkoff, Deringer, Turane and Gouzik IState

have already taken up with Unschlioht, Chief of the/Foliticnl Autho­

rity, who is the man who can help us in this question, and with the

Commissariat for Foreign Affairs. Certainly the answer regarding

Sivoloboff was not comforting but having already, in common with

other Belegates been attacked by bandits in Russia, fortunately not

seriously, and knowing their prevalence in many parts of Russia, e.g.

the Crimea, the Caucasus, the Odessa-Kieff, Kieff—Moscow rail#*^-line.?

etc., I am prepared to give credence to the statement that Sivoloboff

was killed by them.

I appreciate the reasons for the delay in the departure

of the refugees ||fhvVarna and. have taken up personally in Odessa

wi n Ivanoff, the Head of the Odessa Gouvernment and with the lo-

oal representative of the Commissariat for Foreign Affairs the

possibility of Hahn receiving a Mandate to act as Hepatriation Re­

presentative at Odessa and reporting on the arrival there of the

emigrants. I encountered no opposition and have asked Quisling

to fix the matter up in Iiarkoff, as the Mandate must be from the

Ukraine and not the Russian Government. However, I am strongly of

the opinion, knowing Odessa, that control would not be an easy mat­

ter there and would infinitely prefer the delay at Varna and the

continued concentration of refugees through Novorossisk. Hahn has

taken the post of Commercial Adviser to the German Consulat e as from

l^th August and ceases to work for the Nansen Relief Action as from

that date (the date of the liquidation of the relief work) but I am

sure he will for an honorarium assist us in this matter.

I have asked our representatives to cooperate in the

exchange at the Russian ports of the Document given by the Varna

representative for a certified copy. If the local Foreign Affairs

Commissariat Official resents this I will at once take the question

up in Moscow.

Yours very truly

Dear Br .Nansen,

I confirm my telegram of to dnys dote rending as

follows

" Your 410 stop today Bulgarian Government asked

L

me once again assure you they dont want send anyone Russia

against their will stop They however point out that 1200 Russians

who desire be repatriated are no1" Varra stop Their continued

presence there not desirable and Government suggest that t'ieir

departure mi;-ht take : "I ace if Soviet would consent to examination

being made at Novorossisk stop refugees not approved would then

return Bulgaria stop Bulgarian Government offered defray part

repatriation expenses and emphasise that they continue to favour

repatriation stop I still consider Toviot should be urged take

prompt action order enstre repatriation these unfortunate refugees

stop Government authorise me categorically deny that they are

going recognise T-.arir t red cross stop please inform Lîoscov; thet

I asked Government hand me for temporary safekeeping furniture

effects and majority papers red cross stop I believe my demand

will be satisfied stop Bulgarian Gove nment and Tchitcherin now

are in direct touch over whole question red cross arrest stop

addre"'ed Hans -n repeated Johnson W4JI Colenso."

M.tchitcherin. I have already dealt with the question of the

Tzarist Red Cross. The case of Agheeff was explained by me in

my lart letter. Thu legal authorities believe thet Agheeff

T7ith regard to the various accusations made by

had turned countcr revolutionary and was murdered by the

Bolsheviks. The question of the ship Serghieff is as follows.

The Bulgarian Government say that the Refugees swarmed on the

ship and refused to get off. L:r.Baker writes me that Gerghieff

was commandered by the Bulgarian Authorities, I consider L'r.

Bakers version is the more likely one. However ILr.Baker

telegraphed me at the time that ->11 refugees were volunteers,

and I cannot admit that they were forcibly sent.

Neither can I admit that the Russian Red Crops documents

were forged. Directly the perquiriti.cn was made in the

OTfices of the Red Cross, the two rooms conta"ning papers w°re

Z officially ealed up. I saw them mysc-lf two or throe hours

It after tho perquisition. The seal: were b ^ T U T i n y o-n presence.

| regard to actual documents, after consultation

with the Bulgarian Authorities we have in principle decided

that the originals of ihcriminating documents shall be brought

to Geneva. I shall be able to identify them and it will be

much more satisfactorily than having photographed copies of

which the authenticity is always liable to doubt. Meanwhile

I am doing all 1 con to preserve what may be aptly termed

"The balance of power". The accusations against myself do not

need to be further referred to as I have a clerr conscience

that I have been impartial and that I have done all x can for

the refugees mho after all ore all what we are working for.

This morning in conversation at the Foreign Office, the

Government told me that they consider that whether the Goviet

are really in favour of repatriaticeill be proved by their

at tit do towards the 1200 refugees no- at V;>rna. This statement

on behalf of the Bulgarian Government may bo open to discu' nun

J

6 rue ShenovaTelegrams ; COLENSO SOFIA

but 1 think that thore is a certain amount to bo said for it.

As these 1200 refugees want to retun , it mould-seram that

thoy rire counter revolutionaries because if they were such

they would not wish to put themselves in the hands of the

Soviet Authorities.

I s)tall hope that a new Soviet Representative will be

appointed but I dont really expect that much cnn be done until

after the Acsombly. However meantime it is really essential

thnt by some means or other the 1200 refugees now at Varna are

sent away.

77ith kind regards
