“Mer” (cover name in Vassiliev’s notebooks): Iskhak Akhmerov, 1942–1944. KGB illegal officer Iskhak Akhmerov was referred to in Vassiliev’s notebooks in Russian Cyrillic as both “Мер” and “Мэр”, words so phonetically close that both are transliterated under the BGN/PCGN transliterations system identically as “Mer”. Мер means nothing in Russian while Мэр means “Mayor” Whether this use of two phonetically close cryptonyms for the same person was a product of confusion on the part of KGB cipher clerks, an artifact of the ciphering system, or two distinct cryptonyms for the same person is unclear. To reduce confusion, in Vassiliev’s notebooks the transliteration “Mer” is used for both. “Мер”/“Mer” and “Мэр”/”Mayor” both occur in the Venona decryptions as cover-names for Akhmerov.
