CCE 3.1
Item 3. The Chronicle stated: “Even before the invasion of Czechoslovakia, Czech newspapers disappeared from the bookstalls.” In fact, Czechoslovak publications were on sale without interruption right up to 21 August 1968. Their “disappearance” can be explained only by an increased demand while the number of copies offered for sale remained unchanged.

CCE 7.6
“The Meskhetian movement for a return to their homeland”
The two references to a Decree of 31 October 1956 were incorrect. They should have referred to two unpublished Decrees of 28 April 1956 and 31 October 1957.

CCE 16.2
“The Trial of Pimenov and Vail”
Makeyev is the deputy head of the department of housing and communal services [ZhKU], and not, as the Chronicle stated, the head of the department of buildings and works [ZhSU].

CCE 16.7
“Following up Reports in the Press”
Some copies of the Chronicle contained the misprint: Eduard Lalayants. This should read: Eruand (as in CCE 14.5).

CCE 17.2
The patronymic of Valentyn Moroz is Yakovlevich. He was born in 1935. He was sentenced under Article 62, para. 2 (UkSSR Criminal Code = Article 70, pt 2, RSFSR Code, i.e. he was judged to be an especially dangerous recidivist).

CCE 17.11
“Political Prisoners in the Mordovian Camps”
The patronymic of Ya. V. Odobescu (item 4) is Vlasovich, not Vladimirovich.

CCE 17.12
Item 3. This report of the pardoning of Yemelyanov, Azerbaidjani Minister of Internal Affairs under Beria’s lieutenant Bagirov, is open to misinterpretation. It did not refer to those “Beria men” who have been released from the camps on completing their sentences or who have died in captivity.
Item 6. See also the report on the inauguration of a monument to N. I. Vavilov in the journal Priroda (1971, No. 2, p. 62).
