bio.html "Anti-Soviet agitation" was a label far less grave than Shalamov's earlier crime of "Trotskyite activities." Because of this sentence, he was moved to another camp, and then spent time in the prison hospital where he was able to regain some health. This involvement lead to Shalamov's first arrest in 1929 where he was sentenced to three years of hard labor in Solovki, an island converted from an Orthadox monastery to a Soviet work camp. Naturally, because of the content, Shalamov's Kolyma tales were not published in the Soviet Union until the late eighties. s98.middlebury.edu /RU152A/STUDENTS/Shalamov/bio.html

SOVIET UNION For example, Soviet officials announced in November 1987 that they were eliminating the system of exile as a form of punishment, and that certain articles would be removed from the penal code. As the Soviet ethnic situation evolves, the administration will need to devote attention to the increasingly complex, important and difficult nationalities issue across the span of ethnic and national groups in the Soviet Union.

CNN Cold War - Historical Documents: KGB's 1967 Annual Report Along with unmasking a number of foreigners who arrived in the USSR with assignments of a subversive character, materials were published in the Soviet and foreign press disclosing subversive activities of the enemy's special services, and over 114 thousand letters and banderoles containing anti-Soviet and politically harmful printed materials were confiscated in the international mail. Because the number of anonymous authors who distributed malicious anti-Soviet documents owing to hostile convictions increased, there was an increase of those convicted for this type of crime: in 1966 there were 41 of them, and in 1967-114. An integral part of the activities of KGB military counterintelligence in maintaining combat readiness of Soviet Armed Forces is the prevention of ideological diversions in smaller and larger units of the Army and Navy, to sever in a timely manner the penetration channels of bourgeois ideology. edition.cnn.com /SPECIALS/cold.war/episodes/21/documents/kgb.report

min09.htm In the political climate of the Soviet intervention in Czechoslovakia in 1968, the Romanian leadership recognized the extreme danger of the situation and -- anticipating possible active resistance by the nationalities -- changed its policy, adopting a tactic of far-reaching concessions. In foreign policy, Romania's efforts to assert its independence from Soviet tutelage were characterized by the development of closer relations with the Chinese leadership and by a search for political, cultural, and economic links with the West. To avoid any pretext for Soviet intervention in handling the national minority issue they practiced a policy of liberalization. www.hungarian-history.hu /lib/minor/min09.htm

1983: A LOOK BACK: Intensified repression in Ukraine (12/25/83) Popadiuk was sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment for "anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda." The mantle of power in the Soviet Union had earlier been passed on to Yuri Andropov, the former KGB chief who was the scourge of the dissident movement during the truculent years of the Brezhnev era.

The date of the executions was not disclosed. www.ukrweekly.com /Archive/1983/528309.shtml

Propaganda - TheBestLinks.com - Adolf Hitler, Animal Farm, Afghanistan, April 30, ... Anti- Japanese propaganda from the United States from World War II Propaganda is a mighty weapon in war. Ethnic Germans in countries such as Czechoslovakia, Poland, the Soviet Union, and the Baltic states were told that blood ties to Germany were stronger than their allegiance to their new countries. Though not set in the Soviet Union, their characters live under totalitarian regimes in which language is constantly corrupted for political purposes. www.thebestlinks.com /Propaganda.html

About RAWA... It was in consequence of its anti-Soviet occupationist struggle and agitation that RAWA was marked for annihilation by the Soviets and their cronies, while the Islamic fundamentalists vented their wrath on our organisation for our pro-democracy, pro-secularist and anti-fundamentalist stance. Before the Moscow-directed coup d’état of April 1978 in Afghanistan, RAWA’s activities were confined to agitation for women’s rights and democracy, but after the coup and particularly after the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in December 1979, RAWA became directly involved in the war of resistance. Demonstrations against the Soviet invaders and their stooges and later on against the fundamentalists, and unrelenting exposure of their treason and heinous crimes has been a hallmark of RAWA’s political activities. www.rawa.org /rawa.html

KGB DOMESTIC SECURITY - Russia / Soviet Intelligence Agencies In 1988 closing some of these loopholes was discussed, and legal experts called for a greater role for the Procuracy in protecting Soviet citizens from abuse by the investigatory organs. Dissidents were often charged for defaming the Soviet state and violating public order.

Anger the Soviet State, and You're Never Forgiven (12/31/77) Because he demanded the implementation of Soviet laws and international accords of which the Soviet Union is a signatory, he cannot be considered an enemy of the Soviet state," wrote the elder Lukianenko. Lev Lukianenko's second arrest 12 days ago proves that once you anger the Soviet government by making human rights demands, or living up to the provisions of the Soviet Constitution, you will never be forgiven by the Kremlin.

ArmeniaNow.com - Independent Journalism From Today`s Armenia The notorious Paragraph 65 on anti-Soviet propaganda and agitation was used to imprison 95 Armenians between the 1960s and independence, in 1991. Only Harutyunyan was accused and sentenced under Paragraph 65 – anti-Soviet agitation.

Ukrainian-related news stories from RFE The chroniclers were caught in an era when Soviet typewriters were identifiable by their registration numbers, photocopiers did not exist, and no one had dreamt of a fax or electronic mail.

Sausage Software HotDog PageWiz A military coup against the Soviet government had actually been prepared for the middle of 1937, but in May of that year, as feverish last-minute preparations were being made for it, the Communist Party and the Soviet government struck first. Soviet Foreign Minister Litvinov told Davies that "We are doing the whole world a service in protecting ourselves against the menace of Hitler and Nazi world domination". Joseph E Davies, the US Ambassador to the Soviet Union at the time, could best be described as a liberal democrat, whole-heartedly dedicated to the best features of bourgeois democracy and with an abhorrence of fascism. www.red-sydney.com /pc-anti-sovietism.htm

Russia, USSR, Stalin From the school's main display board it was taken to the NKVD [secret police] directorate and became one of the pieces of evidence for accusing enemies of the people of anti-Soviet agitation.

Put simply, it is that the Soviet Union is enjoying admirable success in destroying its most powerful critics, especially Ukrainians, who, though they constitute 20 percent of the Soviet population, account for 40 percent of all political prisoners. www.ukrweekly.com /Archive/1986/458610.shtml

Guardian Forgotten ghosts of the gulag The most dangerous political prisoners in the Soviet Union were incarcerated in Perm 36 - those guilty of repeated anti-Soviet activity, those who persisted in holding unorthodox views. Lev Timofeyev, an academic, was one of the Soviet Union's last political prisoners.

Ulyana Gumeniuk He was accused of anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda - gaining the title of 'extremely dangerous recidivist' which made him very respected in certain circles. So during Soviet times the city was closed to the foreigners.

The Case of the German Teachers' Anti-Soviet Organization within the Odessa Pedagogical Institute In 1929 Leibrandt arrived in the Soviet Union already not as a representative of the "Deutsche Ausland Institute" but as a member of the committee which was engaged in the publication of an encyclopedia about Germans living outside of Germany. This achieved two objectives: first, the members of the organization working in his faculty were the only scholars under the previous regime in the Ukraine and for that reason were irreplaceable, and second, the advancement of new young, Soviet-minded scholars was held back. Of course, he displayed enterprise, but that was a period when the Soviet government sold off not only the archive documents, but even the valuables of the Hermitage. home.earthlink.net /~hmehrman/martyr/case3.htm
