and may be a mistake or confusion. What is said of Barna Bukov fits Boris Bukov. Vassiliev
Bukov, Boris: Soviet intelligence officer, GRU. In 1939 Walter Krivitsky, a senior KGB defector, identified a Soviet intelligence officer known to Whittaker Chambers as “Peter” as Boris Bykov. In his 1939 autobiography, Krivitsky, who had been a GRU officer before shifting to the KGB in the early 1930s, also identified Bykov as the chief of GRU operations in the U.S. in 1936–1939. An entry in GRU: Dela i Liudi [GRU: Cases and People] for “Bukov (Altman) Boris Yakovlevich”, lists Bukov as “Illegal station chief of Razvedupr [GRU] in the U.S.A. (1936–1939)”. Likely Altman was a Jewish birth name with Bukov was a Russianized replacement. That Chambers’ “Bykov” and GRU’s “Bukov” are the same person is made even clearer when it is understood that Chambers told the FBI that Krivitsky had pronounced “Bykov” as “boo-koff”. One should also note that the Russian Cyrillic letter “y” is pronounced with a Latin alphabet “u” sound. What is unclear is why Krivitsky (or his translator/editor in 1939) would transliterate the name as Bykov, usually pronounced “bi-koff”, rather than the more phonetically accurate Bukov. 27 Cover name in Vassiliev’s notebooks: “Jerome” [“Dzherom”].
