CCE 34.
In CCE 34.4 (“Trials in Armenia”) there are many small inaccuracies.
The trial of B. Shakhverdyan and A. Tovmasyan took place in November 1973 not in December.
Paruir Airikyan has an uncompleted higher education and not “eight years of secondary school”. Airikyan was sentenced for infringing the rules of surveillance on 5 March 1974, not on 5 February. Correspondingly the new charges against him under articles 65 and 67 of the Armenian Criminal Code were made on 19 March 1974, not 19 February. The prosecution at Airikyan’s trial was conducted by Procurator Khudoyan, not by Gambaryan. The presiding judge at the trial was Danielyan.
In addition to his letters from the Mordovian camps to his relatives and friends, the evidence against Airikyan included: an appeal sent from the Mordovian camps to the Central Committee of the Armenian Communist Party; and (the following were written in 1974 in a KGB investigation prison) an appeal to the UN; a letter to Arutyunyan, Secretary of the Armenian Party Central Committee; and notes to friends.

CCE 35.
Yury Melnik, released from the Mordovian camps on 17 January 1975, is from Leningrad (not from Ukraine, as first stated in CCE 35.7). He has now been given a residence permit in Leningrad, though he has been placed under administrative surveillance.
In “Prisons and Camps” (CCE 35.7), the release of Victor Kharlanov is reported twice, once with a distortion of his surname.
*
Vladimir Balakhonov was sentenced at the beginning of 1974 (not in 1973, as stated in CCE 35.9 [2]). He was arrested on 7 January 1973 (CCE 33.6-2 [19]).
*
Georgy Davydov arrived in Vladimir Prison from the Perm camps in November 1974. In March 1975 he was sent from Vladimir Prison to the Tallin KGB investigation prison. The report on this in CCE 35.10 [3] contains a few inaccuracies.
*
The summary in CCE 35.12 [2] of N.N.’s letter to the editors of the journal Zemlya, “On the Necessity of Establishing a Russian Fund”, did not fully represent the letter’s contents. The letter also spoke about the publication of books and about other matters.
