  Commentary Magazine - Shcharansky's Secret   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
On the Ides of March 1977, Anatoly Shcharansky was seized by agents of the KGB, the Soviet secret police, and taken to Lefortovo Prison in Moscow to be investigated for "crimes against the state." No one doubted that he had been arrested and accused of treason as a Jewish leader.
...Shcharansky's Judaism had originated in what Proust used to call the indescribable bond of metaphor, the recognition that we stand where our ancestors stood because we were potentially present in their imaginations...
...Shcharansky spoke of the Jewish exile, of the Zionist movement, of the large Jewish role in the Bolshevik Revolution, of Stalin's campaign against the Jews, of the emigration movement, of the Jewish determination not to disappear as a people, and of his pride in being a part of the modern Jewish renaissance...

 United States of America Congressional Gold Medal Recipients Anatoly and Avital Shcharansky
Anatoly Shcharansky's February 1986 release from a Soviet labor camp and his emigration to Israel have once again focused world attention on the plight of Soviet religious and ethnic minorities who seek permission to leave the USSR.
Shcharansky's wife Avital had emigrated to Israel in 1974--the day after they were married--expecting Anatoly to follow a short time later.
Shcharansky became the symbol of the fight of the Jews of the Soviet Union for the right to emigrate to Israel.

 Documents on Political Prisoners - Moscow Helsinki Group Document 56 - On the Trials of Anatoly Shcharansky, Aleksandr ...
The severity of the espionage charges against Shcharansky is untenable in the face of the absurd and vague evidence against him.
The two main episodes incriminating Shcharansky in espionage were his compiling a list of "refuseniks"—people who have long been attempting to emigrate and have been refused permission— and sending this list abroad, and a certain secret questionnaire, of which Shcharansky learned only after his arrest.
More than anything, Shcharansky's criminal trial is a blow at the emigration movement, especially the Jewish part of this movement; it is also yet another attempt to discredit the Jewish people as a whole.

 Science News: Bridge to freedom - Anatoly Shcharansky released from Soviet Union
Shcharansky's treatment had symbolized the plight of the Soviet "refuseniks," people who had been refused permission to emigrate and then harassed in various ways for insisting on their desire to do so.
Shcharansky was sentenced in the Soviet Union on a charge of being a CIA agent, an accusation that the U.S. government denies.
He insisted on his innocence in a telephone call to President Reagan the evening of his release: "As you know, I never was an American spy." After his release, Shcharansky met his wife, Avital, who had spent the last nine years fighting for his freedom, and the two went on to Tel Aviv.

 Nation, The: Was Shcharansky a spy? (Anatoly Shcharansky) (Beat the Devil) (column)
The suffocating piety with which the Schcharansky affair has been treated in the press was at least temporarily disturbed by an interesting Valentine's Day column by Lars-Erik Nelson, Washington bureau chief of the New York Daily News.
Now that Anatoly Sccharansky has been released, Nelson wrote, we can "dry our eyes" and concede that "by some standards of evidence--certainly by Soviet standards--he was guilty" of spying for the United States, for which activity he got a fifteen-year sentence in 1978.

 Shcharansky
About this cartoon: In the earlier part of his time in power, Soviet Premier Mikhael Gorbachev was still a tough adversary, not the great reformer he later became.
The fate of Jewish dissident Anatoly Shcharansky was a longstanding sore point, and Gorbachev finally let him have his freedom to emigrate, a somewhat token gesture not available to less-famous Jews stuck in the Soviet Uunion.
Noteworthy: Somewhat inspired by a line from Britain's Margaret Thatcher, that Gorbachev had "a nice smile, but iron teeth."
