NOTES

1. This list was corrected and expanded (125 names) in a Supplement to CCE 17, issued in January 1971.
   
   A greatly enlarged list was compiled and published in 1977 by Tatyana Khodorkovich and Kronid Lyubarsky (CCE 46.23-2). It named 275 political prisoners and exiles, but only a few (15) convicted under Article 190-1 and none who were then being held in psychiatric prison-hospitals.
   ↩︎
2. Vladimir Borisov should not to be confused with Vladimir Yevgenievich BORISOV from Leningrad (No. 1).
   
   See CCE 8.11 for the “Union of Independent Youth”, led by Borisov in the city of Vladimir, and CCE 14.11 item 17, which recounts how in May 1970 Borisov committed suicide in Butyrka Prison.
