A typewritten copy of the document published below is kept in the Russian State Archives of Contemporary History [RGANI]. There is no date on the copy, however, the events mentioned in the document (in time, the latest of them is the attempted coup d'état in Sudan in early November 1959) suggest that this document was written in the fall or early winter of the same year. The document is a letter (with small abbreviations that have nothing to do with the main plot) from Igor Belyaev, a correspondent of the Pravda newspaper the central printed organ of the CPSU Central Committee in Cairo, to the editorial office of this newspaper. Its author, relying on his knowledge of the Egyptian and Arab situation, apparently believed (considering it desirable) that the top Soviet party and state leadership would be familiarized with the contents of the letter. The document bore the character of a secret (on its archival copy there is a note “declassified”), and Belyaev could openly express his opinion both about Nasser (and his closest entourage) and about the position of the UAR leadership on issues related to relations with the Soviet Union, the course Nasser in the Arab world (primarily in connection with the events in Iraq after the anti-monarchist military coup on July 14, 1958), as well as his domestic policy.
