from H. B. M/s Charge d^Affairs and Special Commissioner, Teheran,
To The Secretary of State for Foreign Affaires,
(Repeated Political, Baghdad» and Viceroy (F. and P. Dept.), Delhi.)
Minorski Birst Secretary, Russian Legation, whose antecedents are well
known to His Majesty’s Foreign Office, has for the last two months been
touring in North Persia and Caspictn, e.g., Enzeli, Resht, Askabad, Meshed,
Kr^snovodsk, Petrovsk. Our Military Authorities where he has come in touch
with them indicate in their report that they believe him to he inclined to stir
up trouble for them whereever he went and to be unfriendly to us. Malleson
particularly complained of him.
I discussed this question with my Russian colleague. He th <ugh recognis
ing that Minorski had an unfortunate manner which had a tendency to annoy or
give a had impression, assured me that at heart Minorski was by no means
unfriendly.. Mr. Scott’s estimate of him is much the same. It is, however,
an undoubted and natural fact that the members of the Russian Legation
and other Russian officials connected with the old regime, regard our
Military activities in the region above referred to, with a jealous eye. They feel
their position acutely.
On a recent report, which the Russian Minister confirmed that Minorski
had left for Uta, Malleson recommended to the General Officer Commanding,
Baghdad, that our representative at Ufa should be warned against him.
General Officer Commanding proposed to warn Ufa if I had no special comment
to make. I replied in the sense of paragraph two above and I added that
I could not associate myself with such a warning but would inform you of
the circumstances, in case you thought fit to take action. I said that mean
time it was of course at the General Officer Commanding’s' discretion to
inform the military representative at Ufa of his suspicion, if there was
one located there.
