Medvedev was released only after his twin brother, Roy, an eminent historian, mobilized a protest by a group of internationally renowned writers and scientists, including Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Physicists Andrei Sakharov and Pyotr Kapitsa, and Mstislav Keldysh, president of the Academy of Sciences. Last summer, in an attempt to hush up the embarrassing affair, the KGB (Soviet secret police) promised the Medvedevs that they would "close the case" and asked for assurances that the brothers would not write about what had happened. Roy Medvedev agreed, on the condition that there be no more "psychiatric blackmail...

Since switching their emphasis to space stations-after it became obvious that the U.S. would be first to land men on the moon-the Russians have been stressing the practical aspects of orbiting laboratories. Said U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences President Matislav Keldysh last month: "These stations will make it possible to engage in all-round investigation of the globe and the near-earth space in the interests of meteorology, geophysics, oceanology and other branches of knowledge." Keldysh even mentioned plans to gather solar energy at such stations and beam it to earth for conversion to electrical power...

The chief of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, Mstislav Keldysh, last month unexpectedly announced that the Russian effort to land men on the moon had been indefinitely delayed...

What looms beyond the moon? Russian space efforts, says Mstislav V. Keldysh, president of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, are already focused on "the setting up of interplanetary stations and the reaching of other planets." By contrast, the moon now seems to be the end of the line to many U.S. space scientists. Hamstrung by cutbacks in appropriations, laboratories and space installations across the country have been laying off technicians, engineers and scientists by the thousands. More important, they have been forced to suspend most planning for interplanetary missions. "There is no question that things will be bleak...
