The idea was the brainchild of KGB chairman Aleksandr Shelepin and Aleksey Kirichenko, the Soviet Politburo member responsible for international policies.
Up until that time, the KGB had fought its “mortal enemy” in Eastern Europe, where the Holy See had been crudely attacked as a cesspool of espionage in the pay of American imperialism, and its representatives had been summarily jailed as spies.
The new chief of the Soviet foreign intelligence service, General Aleksandr Sakharovsky, had created the DIE in 1949 and had until recently been our chief Soviet adviser; he knew that the DIE was in an excellent position to contact the Vatican and obtain approval to search its archives.

Both Shelepin and Semichastnyi appeared to have joined the ranks of opposition to Khrushchev sometime before his ouster in October 1964 and were actively involved in the plot to overthrow the party leader.

That trip by Shelepin, which included a stopover in Peking, has long since been forgotten by the general public, although it took place less than a year ago and was extremely significant in that the Kremlin envoy had been accompanied to Hanoi by Col. Gen.

 Through the Looking Glass - Print Version
Aleksandr Shelepin, a top executive of the Communist Party, was put in charge of the KGB in 1959, and given a mandate to return it to a mission of strategic deception.
Under Shelepin, during this reorganization, Golitsyn worked on an analysis intended to demonstrate how convention spying could be subordinated to deception goals, without potentially compromising the secrecy of the latter.
The intrinsic problem was that KGB officers had to be in contact with western intelligence officers either to recruit them or to pass them disinformation, and, this presented the opportunity to defect or otherwise be compromised.

Aleksandr Shelepin, who headed the KGB 1958-1961, played acrucial role in the plot to oust Khrushchev from his posts as First(General) Secretary of the Communist Party and Chairman of theCouncil of Ministers (i.e., Prime Minister).
N. Podgorny, whowould soon become Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR (apost equivalent to President), also took part in the planning, asdid V. Semichastnyi, who headed the KGB from 1961 until YuriAndropov succeeded him in 1967.
Newly (since 1989) published documents, memoirs, and otherpersonal accounts indicate that Leonid Brezhnev, who succeededKhrushchev as Party boss, was not a major but rather a cautioussecondary player in this game, as was Mikhail Suslov, the long-timechief of ideology.

No information about the Shelepin delegation’s visit was made public at the time, and classified Soviet documents concerning the visit have not yet been released from the Russian archives.
The notes suggest that Shelepin did not press the matter after the North Vietnamese rebuffed his intitial overtures, but they confirm that he did at least broach the need for peace talks—precisely as Michalowski argued.
The document thus lends further weight to Hershberg’s contention that Michalowski and Shelepin were pursuing broadly similar objectives, and that Michalowski pursued the matter far more strenuously than Shelepin did.

The following year, however, Khrushchev demoted Serov and replaced him as head of the KGB secret police with Aleksandr Shelepin, the ambitious leader of the Communist Youth League.
Shelepin sided against Khrushchev in 1964 and got a place on the Brezhnev-Kosygin Politburo as a reward.
After long talks with Khrushchev's inner circle, Medvedev has concluded that Khrushchev believed the Shelepin appointment had been the fatal mistake.

There the matter lay—until March 3, 1959, when Aleksandr Shelepin, then head of the KGB, gave full details in a secret memo to Krushchev of the numbers executed.
In September of that year, he was forced to resign and in December he was replaced as president by the elected anticommunist leader Lech Walesa.
In his 1959 memo to Krushchev, KGB head Shelepin noted that Soviet propaganda efforts to blame the Katyn massacre on the Germans had "taken firm root in international public opinion." To keep the truth from coming out, Shelepin recommended that all records pertaining to the murdered Poles be destroyed.

Probably in part because of this, the present Soviet leadership has so far managed to avoid the kind of intense debate over policy issues and maneuvering for political advantage which leads to irreconcilable factionalism and wholesale political purge.
But the recent reduction of status of Politburo member Aleksandr Shelepin and some of his closest followers testified to the continued existence of political tension at top levels.
And if the economy should once again falter, or if the present leadership should encounter serious reverses abroad, the chances would increase of intensified quarrels which could bring changes at the top.

The discussions between Dej and Leonid Brezhnev in connection with the withdrawal of KGB counsellors went on until the end of November and also involved Aleksandr Shelepin, who until December 1961 had been KGB chairman and had been moved to head the Committee of Party and State Control which oversaw the work of the KGB.
Eventually the Soviet leadership relented and in December 1964 the counsellors were withdrawn, being allowed to take all the contents of the flats which they had requisitioned.

The Soviet leadership was surprisingly irresolute before the Dresden conference of the "Six." Pondering how pressure could be exerted on DubcŠek, Aleksandr Shelepin proposed that Kádár inform them of his own negative experiences in 1956.
"Our point of departure should be that we’re not surrendering Czechoslovakia to anyone," Shelepin said.
It is right for us to show resolution, but we must also consider how to proceed… We should be prepared to use radical methods, Novotny probably can’t be saved, but as long as they—he, Lenárt, and Lomsky—are [in position] we must somehow get them to turn to us for help before [the CC] meeting.
