MAY [MAJ] (cover name in Venona): Stepan Zakharovich Apresyan.  Venona analysts initially believed 

that the real name behind the cover name MAY [MAJ], acting chief of the KGB New York 

Station for part of 1944 and 1945, was Pavel Fedosimov, a diplomat at the New York consulate.  

Eventually, however, Venona analysts realized that this was an error and that MAY was Stepan

Apresyan, another Soviet diplomat at the New York consulate who in 1945 transferred to the San 

Franciso consulate (with the MAY cover name simultaneously disappearing from the New York 

KGB message traffic and appearin in San Francisco traffic).  In the decrypted messages 

occasionally Venona analysts corrected the footnotes misidentifying MAY as Fedosimov but 

most were left unchanged because the small staff of Venona analysts were aware of the situation 

and did not need to go back and physically alter each note.  Consequently, all MAJ [MAY] 

references should be regarded as Apresyan even if the footnote identifies the real name as 

Fedosimov.  Venona New York KGB 1944, 23, 27–28, 30, 34, 37, 40, 42, 45–47, 51–52, 54, 56,

“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.  Vassiliev Black Notebook, 64–
