"Settled in Yugoslavia after WWI" means White Russian, so not really Soviet agent material.
There were plenty of reasons to flee Russia after WWI other than being a member of the White Movement. I mean you had civil war, famine, terror, more terror, etc. Plenty of reasons to fuck off and never look back.
Oh, yeah, Interwar Yugoslavia was full of Russians who weren't necessarily politically slanted, but took one look at the mess and went "fuck that". They're commonly referred to as 'whites' because the 'reds' are presumed to have stayed in Russia.
I was more saying that jumping from "ethnic Russian" to "Soviet spy" is going the wrong direction. Presumably, someone pro-Soviet would go back when the revolution ended, whereas I can't help but notice this dude stayed until '41, disappeared just about when the Nazis rolled in, and then reappeared just about when the Soviets were releasing Nazi POWs.
