Here's a quote from an article by Anna Louise Strong in the Moscow Daily News, September 5, 1933, p. 2:
"Last autumn MacDowell came back from a trip through North Caucasus . . . Everyone knows Mac--Mac with the Order of Lenin. And Mac knows farms in all parts of the USSR. In more than ten years, from Kuzbai to Rostov, he's worked on them, good farms and bad farms of every kind."
Who was MacDowell?
Would anyone have information regarding the death of two CIA case officers? The two agents - Richard Reiser and Paul Dillion - handled GRU General Dmitri Polyakov. Reiser handled Polyakov in Mosow and Dillon in India.

Dear Colleagues,
The time of the Great Purge in the Soviet Union has been one of the most controversial and under-researched periods in the history of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (KPJ). Secrecy has surrounded it because of the executions of most leading members of the party from the interwar era, while its appeal lies in the fact that, at the end of this period in 1939, Josip Broz Tito became the party general secretary, a post he would hold until his death in 1980.
