**Nosenko's Background and Involvement**

Nosenko served as an officer in the KGB from mid-March 1953 to late May 1955, and later as a Deputy Chief of the American-British Commonwealth Section, Seventh Department, from 1958 to December 1959. He claims to have been involved in various cases against American and British tourists in the USSR during this period.

**KGB Operations and Recruitment**

The KGB's use of homosexual and heterosexual compromise operations to recruit agents is mentioned. The Seventh Department was responsible for tourists traveling on tourist visas, and the FCD had an interest in certain actual tourists in the USSR who may never become the responsibility of the SCD.

Nosenko claims that he was aware of American citizen John Stubin being a tourist in the USSR during the late 1950s, despite not having a valid US passport between 1940 and June 1961. He also mentions other American tourists, including Wallace Everett Johnson and William Carroll Jones.

**Investigations into KGB Operations**

The document discusses Nosenko's knowledge of George Blake's CIA-MI-6 program using tourist agents in the USSR, which was previously unknown to him but later confirmed through current interviews.
