                            2.  KOVALEV, Vladimir, whose nickname is Boni,  holds the
                       rank of senior lieutenant.  Born in about 1949, he is 174 cm tall,
                       of medium build, and has slightly wavy short iblond hair.. He is
                       very nearsighted and wears glasses.  He dresses iodestly 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 1g72. who attends a special kindergarden for
                       the children of high-ranking and other privileged officials.
                       KO.VALEVA,.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.Bobruys.kaya 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.-
