...first round of sessions, lasting perhaps only a few weeks, will concentrate not on real issues but primarily on setting an agenda and other preliminaries.

The men-a senior officer named Gavrilov, a lieutenant named Ponomarev and an unidentified officer-drew up a 26-page document advocating radical changes in Soviet policy.
