...York City last month, Bonner had a highly publicized reunion with Anatoli Shcharansky, the Soviet dissident who was released from prison earlier this year. Then, addressing members of Congress on May 21, Sakharov's 65th birthday, she warned, "In Gorky, anything can happen, and the world will never learn the truth about us." On each occasion, Semyonov insists, Bonner's public appearances were arranged for her by others.

During his first American visit, Shcharansky, who spent nine years in Soviet prisons and work camps, is to meet President Reagan and other top American officials, as well as Soviet Human Rights Activist Yelena Bonner, who is currently recuperating from heart surgery in the U.S. But Shcharansky's best news, disclosed on the eve of his visit, is that he and his wife Avital, 35, separated for so many years...
That optimistic assessment stemmed from last week's visit to Washington by Ambassador Anatoli Dobrynin, who has just completed 24 years of service as Moscow's man in the capital and who now takes on a job as a senior foreign policy adviser to Gorbachev. In his talks with Reagan and other Administration officials, Dobrynin continued to refrain from setting an actual date for a summit.
