GoldsteinZhukov_NWCR.pdf. Popov’s account of a landing, if correct, apparently refers
to events preceding the incident on 30 January. On 25 January, a “friendly visit” to Port
Said by a Soviet cruiser, destroyer and landing vessel was announced by MENA, after
Western agencies reported the ships’ passage through the Turkish straits. Reuters and AFP,
Davar, 26 January 1968, p. 1. Throughout the month, there were Eg yptian warnings that
Israel might intervene to prevent the extrication of ships from the northern sector of the
canal (political correspondent, Davar, 4 January 1968, p. 1), but there is no record of an
actual Israeli advance. - Davar, 4 July 1968, p. 1; Jay Bushinsky, Chicago News, “Mysterious Soviet Dredge,” Daily
