[Arrested in 1969 or 1970, 4 individuals]

Since it has not been possible to establish whether the Reform Baptists [initsiativniki] in Rostov (CCE 16) were arrested in 1969 or 1970, their names are given separately and unnumbered.

ROSTOV [South Russia]

V. D. ZHOVMIRUK, b. 1894, presbyter.
[Arrested 7 July 1970, Article 190-3, two years strict regime ].

G. F. SHOSTENKO, server, [b. 1912.
Arrested 7 July 1970; Article 190-3; one year ordinary regime].

It is, in fact, practically impossible to give the number of people subjected to repression for religious reasons [see Chronicle 18]. The following names, for example, could be added to Part One of the list:

ELEKTROSTAL (Moscow Region)

N. F. NIKITINA, sentenced on 17 September 1969

Arrested and Imprisoned

According to this list, 67 people were subjected to repression in 1969 (Nos. 9-11 are given wrongly [i.e. should not have been numbered], since they appeared in the list in CCE 11.17). By adding the numbers appearing in the list in CCE 11 and in Part One of this list, it can be seen that 129 persons were subjected to repression for political reasons in 1969.

According to preliminary calculations based on Part Two of this list, 75 persons were subjected to repression for political reasons in 1970.
