...Soviet influence in the region whose people--Moslem Uighurs, Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Mongols and Russians--were more closely tied ethnically with the Soviet Union than with China. In the years 1958-59 the Chinese met with severe unrest in Sinkiang, leading the regime to assert its need to "heighten Marxist-Leninist thinking and awareness and completely overcome local nationalistic ideas." During the sixties, the Chinese repeatedly encountered revolts by guerilla organizations in both Sinkiang and Tibet, and there have been numerous but univerified reports of concentration camps in Sinkiang accommodating captured revolutionaries...
Less Charitable. Police said that the deadly efficiency of the ambush indicated it was the work of the extremist, self-styled Marxist-Leninist People's Revolutionary Army, which this time was out to kill, not kidnap. This same organization last May fatally wounded a Ford-of-Argentina executive and slightly wounded another. After threatening more terrorism, the group demanded and got $1,000,000 from Ford for ambulances and medical and school supplies for the Argentine poor. This time the motive was less charitable. The shooting was seen instead as part of a systematic effort to scare off foreign...

Last week the armed forces came under attack. A member of the general staff of the infantry was kidnaped by the Marxist-Leninist People's Revolutionary Army, which announced that attacks against the "repressive armed forces" will continue...
Medvedev's pragmatic view does not come as all that much of a surprise. While Sakharov apparently no longer even considers himself a socialist, Medvedev remains a committed Marxist-Leninist. Even though he was expelled from the Party in 1969 for his writings about Stalin, he is respected both by dissidents and many orthodox Communists. Shortly after Medvedev's expulsion, Soviet authorities tried to have his twin brother, Zhores, a brilliant biologist, declared insane for writing a critical book about Stalin's crackpot geneticist, T.D. Lysenko...
Although much of the violence has been officially blamed on the Marxist-Leninist People's Revolutionary Army, many Argentines suspect unruly leftists in Perón's own movement. Perón has not publicly accused his leftists, who in fact played a large role in returning him to power. But he has issued orders for an all-out campaign against Marxists in general, not excluding those who call themselves Peronistas...
