Charles Bohlen	Person Diplomat Ambassador

Charles Bohlen (1904–1974) was a distinguished American diplomat who served as the U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1953 to 1957. He was one of the ambassadors who was subjected to the Moscow Signal, a microwave beam aimed at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow by the Soviets¹.

Bohlen died of pancreatic cancer on January 1, 1974, at the age of sixty-nine. His death, along with that of Llewellyn Thomas and later Walter Stoessel Jr., raised concerns about the potential health effects of prolonged exposure to the Moscow Signal¹.
