REF: STATE 50705
(U) Post has been unable to confirm the bona fides of reftel
entities. Andrey Firsov, Deputy Director of foreign consignee JSC
Instrument Plant TENZOR, told us June 6 he would rather lose the
contract than answer our "strange questions" related to reftel
pre-license check. Yelena Kulakova, Senior Specialist of the
end-user Russian Ministry of Atomic Energy (RosAtom),also declined
to provide us with information regarding this case. ESTOff
contacted his interlocutors at RosAtom as well, but no answer was
forthcoming.
