Political Prisoners in Vladimir Prison, 1977 (44.17-4)

<<No 44 : 16 March 1977>>

8. Political Prisoners in Vladimir Prison

SURNAMES listed in Russian alphabetical order (see CCE 46.23).

Articles (CRIMES) are equated to the analogous Articles in the RSFSR Criminal Code.

*

Political prisoners in Vladimir Prison, independently of how they landed up in prison — by original court sentence or transfer from a camp for a violation of the regime — are divided into two categories, depending on the camp regime (strict or special) to which the court sentenced them.

Prisoners in these two categories are kept apart and are distinguished by their clothing: ‘black’ (strict) or ‘striped’ (special).

At the end of January 1977, the following political prisoners were in Vladimir Prison (an analogous list appeared in CCE 36.6-1).
