Three Russians accused of murdering 2,000 Jews at Krasnodar, in the Soviet Union, during the Nazi occupation of parts of the USSR, were reported in a dispatch received from Moscow here today as hiding in this country.
One of the men, Gregory Yakovlevitch Timoshenko, is said to be living in a suburb of Sao Paulo. The two others, bearing the same last name, were identified as Alexander Gusschenko and Napoleon Gusschenko. Both of the latter, stemming originally from the Ukraine, are reportedly in hiding in southern Brazil.
