...hardly turn these refugees out into the street. The plight of the Vashchenkos and Chmykhalovs dramatically illustrates the condition of thousands of dissenting Protestants who want to quit the U.S.S.R. so they can practice their faith without government restrictions, most notably on the religious education of their children. In Kiev last month, newly released Baptist Prisoner Pyotr Vins was twice assaulted by police thugs after trying to arrange his family's emigration. His father Georgi, national leader of dissident Baptists, was due for release from a labor camp March 31 but still faces five years of Siberian "exile...
Another lovely legacy of old Russia is Chicken Kiev, a dish too seldom served in American homes or restaurants. Carl Jerome's The Complete Chicken (Random House; 247 pages; $12.95) should provide a rise in fare. The author, who has been a teaching and writing associate of James Beard's, ennobles the plebeian poulet in such great incarnalations as demi-deuil, en brioche and bollito misto, all sagely laid out. Jerome also offers some offbeat recipes for Southern fried chicken that will stir sizzling debate in Dixie...
...Golda, that struggle began in her memory when she was four years old, watching her father trying to barricade the entrance to their small house in Kiev against rampaging Cossacks. What she felt then and many times later in her life was "the fear, the frustration, the consciousness of being different and the profound instinctive belief that if one wanted to survive, one had to take effective action about it personally." Her father emigrated to the U.S. in 1903, and brought over his wife and their three daughters three years later to settle in Milwaukee. As a teenager, Golda...
Undaunted by the world outcry against the trials and convictions of Anatoli Shcharansky and two other Soviet dissidents, Moscow last week moved to silence another human rights activist. Attorney Lev Lukyanenko, 50, went on trial in the small Ukrainian town of Gorodnya near Kiev on charges of "anti-Soviet agitation." The pattern of the proceedings was much the same as in the previous trials. Like Shcharansky, Alexander Ginzburg and Viktoras Petkus, Lukyanenko refused to make a public confession, despite seven months of pretrial interrogation. Instead, he went on a hunger strike when the summary four-day trial began, refused...
...cruise for longer periods and have greater battle endurance than the Soviet vessels. Russian submarines are noisier than their U.S. counterparts and therefore easier to detect and destroy. Before firing their missiles, some of these vessels must surface, betraying their positions. The Soviets' sole carrier, the 40,000-ton Kiev (two more are being built), can launch only subsonic vertical-takeoff planes and helicopters, and thus lacks the offensive punch of the U.S. big-deck carriers. These disadvantages, however, do not significantly reduce the Soviet threat at sea because Russia's wartime aims are easier to achieve than America...
