NOTES

First publication in English, Amnesty International (February 1979).

1. The sequence of trials — Orlov and the “repentant” Gamsakhurdia simultaneously in May, then Ginzburg and Shcharansky in July — was devised on the recommendation of Andropov and Procurator-General Rudenko (1 April 1978, 785-A* memorandum).
