Early in his Moscow stay, Clark came to know the Soviet dissidents whose names would gain world attention: Yuri Orlov, Alexander Ginzburg, Anatoli Shcharansky. It was Shcharansky who acted as Clark's interlocutor and interpreter in several talks with Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Andrei Sakharov. Recalls Clark: "Shcharansky seemed merely to be busying himself while awaiting emigration to Israel, for which he had repeatedly applied, perhaps believing that by making himself obnoxious to the authorities they would kick him out. How wrong...
There was never much doubt about the verdict, only about the severity of the punishment. The Soviets resolved that question late last week by imposing on Dissident Leader Anatoli Shcharansky a term of 13 years in prison and hard labor camp for treason (see WORLD). President Carter, who had called the trials of Shcharansky and Fellow Dissident Alexander Ginzburg "an attack on every human being who lives in the world who believes in basic human freedom," said the verdict produced a "sadness the whole world feels." In Germany for a summit conference of major industrial democracies, Carter responded to criticism...
...days of bargaining with Gromyko in Geneva would be sensitive. He had brought with him a message from President Carter to Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev expressing concern about the dissidents' trials. He also had a symbolic appointment to meet Avital Shcharansky, to emphasize American sympathy for her husband, Anatoli Shcharansky.

So when the Soviet delegation-including Gromyko, Ambassador Anatoli Dobrynin and Veteran Interpreter Viktor Sukhodrev-arrived at the eighth-floor conference room of the U.S. SALT delegation office last Wednesday morning, Vance responded in kind. He guided the Russians to the side of the 25-ft.-long teak table that faced the windows, giving them a good view of the water-skiers cavorting on Lake Geneva, and of the sun. However, the American delegation-Vance, Ambassador Malcolm...
...until 18 months ago, virtually unknown?an unemployed Jewish computer programmer on the fringes of the Soviet Union's human rights movement in Moscow. Then the Kremlin leaders decided to crush, once and for all, the flickering life signs of dissidence in the U.S.S.R. That is how last week, Anatoli Shcharansky became the symbol of deteriorating U.S.-Soviet relations, the object of confrontation politics between the Kremlin and the White House, and the personification of the struggle for human rights being waged by the Soviet Union's dogged dissidents. Put on trial for treason in Moscow, he was speedily convicted...
