You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

Tarasov''', was the [[KGB]] Mexico City [[Resident spy|Illegal Resident]] during much of the period of the [[Manhattan Project]]. In 1943, the Moscow Center of KGB intelligence activities in North America, decided all contacts with [[J. Robert Oppenheimer]], scientific director of the Manhattan Project at [[LANL|Los Alamos laboratory]], would be through 'illegals' only. Vasilevsky, operating from Mexico City, was put in charge of running the illegal network after New York Resident [[Vasily Zarubin]] had been recalled to Moscow. Vasilevsky's instructions were to control the network from the Mexico City Residentura. [[Bruno Pontecorvo]] was the conduit supplying the atomic secrets from [[Enrico Fermi]]. Vasilevsky provided Pontecorvo with an escape route through Finland which Pontecorvo used in 1950 after the arrest of [[Klaus Fuchs]].

[[Kitty Harris]] went to Mexico City in early 1943 to be a courier for Vasilevsky.  She was further detailed by Vasilevsky to the Santa Fe drugstore safe house where she coordinated the front's clandestine activities.<ref>Special Secrets, p.58-63</ref>

In 1945, for his work in handling the [[Enrico Fermi|Fermi line]] in the United States, Vasilevsky was appointed deputy director of Department S. For a short period in 1947 he was the director of the department of scientific and technological intelligence in the [[Chronology of Soviet secret police agencies|Committee of Information]] (KI).

In November 1945, when the [[Soviet atomic bomb project]] was having difficulty starting its first nuclear reactor, [[Lavrentiy Beria]] sent Yakov Terletsky of the Soviet project and Vasilevsky to Denmark<ref>((cite web |author1-link=Lavrentiy Beria |title=Beria’s Cover Memo to Stalin on Niels Bohr ((!))

Vasilevsky was later expelled from the party for "treacherous antiparty activities in Paris and in Mexico".<ref name=harry/>
