Rasin: See Jacob Golos. “Rasists” [Rasisty] (cover name in Vassiliev’s notebooks): Gaullists. The cover name in Russian, “Rasisty”, translates as Racists, but in this case the cover name is derived from "Ras," the cover name for Charles de Gaulle, and “Ras” is not a Russian word. “Rasisty”, then appears to be a pun based on de Gaulle’s cover name.

Venona New York KGB 1943, 192. “Ray” [Skat] (cover name in Vassiliev’s notebooks): Likely William Stapler. Stapler is not directly identified as “Ray.” But “Ray” is described as a Soviet intelligence source, technical line, prior to October 1944, then the cover name changed to “Karl”. As “Karl” described as “chemical engineer at the Hercules Powder Company.” Stapler, a chemist, worked for Hercules. KGB agent Thomas Black identified Stapler as a Soviet industrial espionage source. Black’s description of Stapler’s activities matches the activities of the Soviet source “Ray”/“Karl” in Vassiliev’s notebooks. “Ray” and “Karl” also appeared in the Venona decryptions, and Venona analysts identified the real name but redacted it. However, a 1951 FBI memo reviewing Venona noted that nine persons that Venona demonstrated were assisting Soviet espionage were deceased. One of those listed as deceased was Stapler. That, along with Black’s evidence, indicates that the redacted name in the Venona decryptions for “Ray”and “Karl” was William Stapler. 126
