Excerpt:
“…The authorities have lately been paying more ‘attention’ to the Fund. Pressure is being put on many people who contribute to its work. Many (in particular N. Lisovskaya and A. Romanova) have had their telephones disconnected; there are constant searches during which belongings, food and money are confiscated; people are summoned by the KGB for interrogation, dismissed from their jobs, and threatened with administrative and legal action. The threats are starting to become reality.
“On 9 December, the Bauman district soviet in Moscow took a decision not sanctioned by law, to order the administrative expulsion for two years from Moscow of Rushania Fedyakina, who had been active on the Fund’s behalf.
“On 8 December, Valery Repin, also a Fund worker, was arrested in Leningrad. As a result of an unconfirmed report, he has been charged under Article 70 (RSFSR Criminal Code: ‘Anti-Soviet Agitation & Propaganda’). Repin is now in a KGB investigations prison.
“The home of Sergei Khodorovich, the Fund’s administrator, has been searched three times during the past year. All papers and documents relating to the Fund’s activities were confiscated; this seriously disrupted the compiling of the Fund’s accounts for 1981.
“The actions of the authorities are clearly intended to stop the work of the Fund — the only charitable organisation in the USSR.”
