47. Prats, Memorias, 21419. Details of the Allende government"s interest in purchasing arms from the Soviet bloc are hazy. However, the available evidence suggests that the UP remained interested in acquiring arms from the USSR after this trip and that Allende raised the issue directly with Brezhnev. In a later testimony given to the Centro de Estudios Publicos in Chile, Leonov, then head of the a.n.a.lytical Department in the KGB, recalled that the USSR provided Chile with a $100 million credit to buy Soviet arms (primarily tanks) in 1973 and that these were on their way to Chile in August of that year when Moscow called the ships that were carrying them back on account of the fear that a military coup was on the horizon.
