Abstract
As soon as Vladimir Petrov arrived at the Australian Security Intelligence Organization (ASIO) safe house on April 3, he, despite his terrible mental state, set down to work. Almost at once, he composed a letter to the new Embassy secretary and accountant, Vislykha, which tied up certain loose ends of unfinished official business and then notified the Embassy of his impending suicide. With the assistance of an interpreter, Richards began to debrief Petrov. The first formal debriefing extended over six hours. At its end, Richards had managed to extract 20 pages of handwritten information from Petrov, concerning his life and career inside the NKVD-MGB-MVD, Soviet espionage in Australia and the nature of the documents he had brought with him in his satchel.
