...sentenced last January to prison terms ranging from one to seven years (TIME, Jan. 19). Along with Zolotukhin, the party also expelled five intellectuals who signed a formal protest against the star-chamber aspects of the trial. Far from dealing too sternly with the writers, the pro-government Literaturnaya Gazeta said last week, the courts dealt too lightly with them. Its solution: deport the dissident writers. "Instead of feeding such people at public expense in our prisons or corrective labor camps," wrote Editor Aleksandr Chakovsky, "it would be better to let them be supported by the taxpayers...

Thus a foreigner reading a noted critic's articles in Literaturnaya Gazeta may get a wholly false impression of his talents. Of one bottom-drawer writer, a Soviet official recently exclaimed: "He's much, much better than his work!" On the other hand, the real Abram Tertz could well be that breed of writer known in the underground as an "internal...
