Mr. Voshinin.

was an army composed of Russian---Soviet Russian prisoners of war who wanted to fight the Communists.

Mr. Jenner.

What was the name of this army?

Mr. Voshinin.

Vlassov [spelling] V-l-a-s-s-o-v.
And he told the story of the Vlassov army but, in between, he injected a lot of praise for such people like Himmler.

Mr. Jenner.

Heinrich Himmler?

Mr. Voshinin.

Heinrich Himmler. He said, "After all, I came to the conclusion that Himmler wasn't a bad boy at all." You know, that's typically George.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you think that this was sincere or do you think that he was just attempting to provoke shock?

Mr. Voshinin.

I think he was attempting to provoke shock. Especially there were, at least, three Jewish people there present--Sam Ballen and Lev Aronson. I saw that Lev Aronson almost didn't---was, became red, terribly red in his face. I was afraid that the poor guy, you know, would have a stroke, you know. And George was looking into the face of Aronson and, you know, continued praising the Nazis and look what effect it has on Lev, who is a close friend of George. Of course, Lev was terribly bitter--and I understand, after that, Lev and him went to drink vodka the whole night. So, well--that's the type of person you have.

Mr. Jenner.

All right. Now, Mr. Voshinin, I think my questioning is about concluded, but I do want to ask this general question in any event. Is there anything you think factually that hasn't been brought out that occurs to you that might be of assistance to the Commission in its investigation?

Mr. Voshinin.

I think so.

Mr. Jenner.

Would you state it, please?

Mr. Voshinin.

I think, first of all, there are persons which you did not question and which knows De Mohrenschildt, I think, much better than I do.

Mr. Jenner.

Who is that?

Mr. Voshinin.

For example, Mr. Basil Zavoico.

Mr. Jenner.

All right. Now give us that full name and spell it, please?

Mr. Voshinin.

[Spelling] B-a-s-i-l--that's the first name. Second is Z-a-v-o-i-c-o--or k-o--I don't know. And he lived in Texas before and he's living now in Green Farms, Conn., his house being called Cronomere.

Mr. Jenner.

Spell that, please?

Mr. Voshinin.

[Spelling] C-r-o-n-o-m-e-r-e. And why I know Mr. Zavoico because his wife-lived in Yugoslavia before the war and me and my wife we were close friends with her. And I think that Mr. Zavoico knows George De Mohrenschildt many years before we did, and he once even warned us against him.

Mr. Jenner.

Warned you against De Mohrenschildt?

Mr. Voshinin.

Yes; he said, "Don't be too close with De Mohrenschildt," he said, "because, who knows what he is?" He says, "He sometimes talks so much to the left, I'm not sure what he is."
And I think that he knows a lot about his life before the time we came here. I think in that time there will be a lot of things to your interest.
I don't know whether you questioned another person--it's Mr. Paul Raigorodsky.

Mr. Jenner.

You've mentioned him before at the first of this deposition?

Mr. Voshinin.

Yes; because Paul Raigorodsky is the first Russian immigrant that--whoever came to Dallas. And he knows absolutely everybody and he knows these people much longer time than we did.

Mr. Jenner.

All right.

Mr. Voshinin.

And he knows George pretty closely. He also lived in the Stoneleigh Hotel--and Still living there.

Mr. Jenner.

He is?

Mr. Voshinin.

Yeah. And he saw George every day where we saw him only occasionally. A third person which I would suggest would be Mrs. Graft.

Mr. Jenner.

[Spelling] G-r-a-f-f?

Mr. Voshinin.

Yes; Mrs. Theodore Graft---who worked for George as a secretary mostly in the time that George was in Yugoslavia. He still was, one part
