We are reporting that as a result of studying the personal file of Reserve Major General O. D. Kalugin, which is kept in the Military-Mobilization Department of the MB of Russia for Moscow and the Moscow Region, it was established that he graduated in 1956 from the Leningrad Institute of Foreign Languages at the U.S.S.R. Council of Ministers; his major was consultant-interpreter.
There is no information that his responsibilities during this period entailed involvement with scientific research in the field of chemical weapons. The Department of the MB of Russia confirms this information for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region during the period of time when Oleg D. Kalugin worked at that department.
