      1.  The t'wo MVD officers described lu this report are p r of
a small  (and otherwise unidentified) section of the.Miis  .2it
Internal  Affairs..Directorate (GUVD) on Dobromyshlenskiy pereulok
(the subject  of a separatereport).  .This section is engaged in
the sureil lance of :fore.igtegs for the apparent purpose of identify-.
ing  those of their Soviet contacts who  ay be black marketeers.
     2.   KOVALEV, Vladimir, whose nickname is Bonim, holds the
rank of  senior lieutenant.  Born in about 1949, he is 174 cm tallV,
of medium  build, and has slightly wavy short blond hair.  He is
very nearsighted  and wears glasses.  He dresses modestly and
inconspicuously  and has the appearance of an. educated and cultured
person.
     3.,  KOVALEV is married to Tamara nee MATVEYEVA. and they have
a son, born  in about 1972. who attends a special kindergarden for
the children  of high-ranking and other privileged officials.
KOVALEVA,  the. daughter of a retired KGB lieutenant colonel, is a.
graduate of  an economics institutd and works as a senior economist
for the. State Committee for Standards, earning 170 rubles per. month.
The KOVALEVs  live .on.Bobruyskaya ulitsa directly opposite a bus
station.                                            -
     4.   KOVALEV is a graduate of the Minsk State Pedagogical
Institute of  Foreign Languages: where he studied Spanish and English
 in the Department of Translating.  After graduation, KOVALEY left
Minsk for one year  to go.into the Army.  However, Source found this
hard to believe,  as he knew that KOVALEV had been turned down for
military service  in 1966 because of.nearsightedness.. During the
tihme.tha.t KOVALEV was in the Army, his wife told Source that where-
her husband was  serving they put army boots on once a month, just
for show.   KOVALEV's .military service card (voyennyy bilet.).
nevertheless  indicates both his 1966 rejection and the year that he
supposedly spent  in the Army.-
