Before the chill in U.S.-Soviet relations, poetry rather than politics was the symbol of the Soviet Union's break with Stalinism, and at lecture halls across America in the 1960s and '70s, Yevgeni Yevtushenko and Andrei Voznesensky were Russian poetry's most distinguished ambassadors. This month Yevtushenko, 51, and Voznesensky, 52, are in the U.S. on an unofficial but widely praised visit. Voznesensky, his country's greatest living poet, took the opportunity to accept belatedly a 1984 honorary degree from Oberlin College, where he inveighed against "barbarians of every age," and intoned: "For an artist trueborn/ revolt is second...

The center's director is the eminent cardiologist Yevgeni Chazov, who is also a full member of the Soviet Central Committee. As director of the Ministry of Health's Fourth Department, Chazov is in charge of caring for the health of Soviet leaders...
...from Moscow to Samarkand and in an hourlong documentary on space warfare by Marvin Kalb, NBC reporters noted meticulously whom and what they had been refused permission to film and when supervision had been imposed. When Today sought to interview a typical Soviet family, they were introduced to Autoworker Yevgeni Solinezin, 48, who is a Communist Party member with a comfortable apartment. He and his wife Nina, a former flight attendant, have traveled extensively in the West, and their son Oleg is an artist. Said Gumbel: "Based on our admittedly limited observations, Yevgeni's situation seems more idyllic than...
