Belitsky, ?: Name in the Whalen documents, 1930. Vassiliev Yellow Notebook #4, 75. “Belka” (Russian original of a cover name in Vassiliev’s notebooks): See “Squirrel”. BELKA [SQUIRREL] (cover name in Venona): BELKA [SQUIRREL] was identified in a single 1945 Venona message that also discussed LENS (Michael Sidorovich) and Venona analysts suggested that BELKA was possibly Ann Sidorovich. Based on Alexander Vassiliev’s notebooks, this was mistaken. Instead, “Squirrel” was a courier who serviced a safe house hosted by “Lens” (Michael Sidorovich) and “Objective” (Ann Sidorovich). 22 In terms of identifying “Squirrel” the notebooks describe her as the “wife of ‘Hudson’” There are two Hudson’s in Vassiliev’s notebooks. One is the unidentified Soviet agent “Hudson”. If “Squirrel” is married to the unidentified agent “Hudson”, then she is also unidentified. However, senior CPUSA official Roy Hudson also appears in Vassiliev’s notebooks and was know to KGB officers. His wife was Edith Emery and her background would qualify her for covert courier work. In the 1930s Emery had worked with Whittaker Chambers CPUSA-GRU network and she was the subject of a badly broken New York KGB message to Moscow on 3 July 1942 mentioning Emery, the Comintern, and the GRU. Just five days after the garbled KGB cable to Moscow about Emery, Fitin of the KGB asked the Comintern to provide whatever information the Comintern had on Emery as well as on two other persons associated with her. What the 1942 KGB cable and Fitin’s query were about is not clear. 23 This was a period when the KGB was reviewing and in some cases reviving dormant Comintern and GRU networks, and these documents may part of that process of vetting Emery for being taken on as a courier. The evidence, however, is insufficient to reach a conclusion. Venona New York KGB 1945, 88; Venona Special Studies, 12. ———————————

That these are decoding and translation garbles for Louis Horvitz and Paul Burns is indicated by a plain text memo fround in the archives of the Communist International, a memo from General Fitin, chief of KGB foreign intelligence requesting background information on two American Communists: Louis Horvitz and Paul Burns (Fitin to Dimitrov, 19 August 1944, Archive of the Dimitrov Secretariat of the Comintern, Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History, 495–74–485).
