...letter from Author Graham Greene, 62, to the London Times began movingly, with an appeal to the Russian Union of Writers to turn over his blocked royalties to the wives of Yuli Daniel and Andrei Sinyavsky, the two writers sentenced in February to five and seven years at hard labor for "maligning" Mother Russia in their work. Then, in dazzling transition, Greene added that his letter "must in no way be regarded as an attack" on the Soviet Union, went on to proclaim that he would rather live in Russia than in the U.S., in Cuba than in Bolivia...
...Phoenix, Sphinx, Kolokol (Bell) and Tetradi (Notebooks), but have secretly published whole works, among them Alexander Urusov's tale of labor camp horrors entitled "The Cry of Far Away Ants." These underground publications also bring the work of such officially disgraced writers as the imprisoned Andrei Sinyavsky and Yuli Daniel to Russian readers. They rarely get to publish for more than a few issues before their source is discovered and suppressed, and their editors arrested...
Unforgivable Sin. Yet the fact that Tvardovsky has been able to print what he has shows that official restraints have loosened considerably. It was only a year ago that Authors Andrei Sinyavsky and Yuli Daniel were sentenced to labor camps for critical works-though their unforgivable sin was that they published them in the West.

As for Tvardovsky, he still hopes to succeed in an ambitious new project: publication...
...Voice, particularly in Communist countries, often scoops the local radio and press. In 1964, its Russian broadcasts beat the state radio by 1½ hours with news of the fall of Nikita Khrushchev; this year it carried the most complete accounts of the trials of Writers Andrei Sinyavsky and Yuli Daniel. Red China, North Korea and North Viet Nam still try to jam VOA transmissions, but all the Communist countries of Europe except Bulgaria have quit jamming...
...infinitely safer place when the self-conscious Soviets grow up enough to accept genuine criticism. That they have not done so is amply documented in this transcript of the trial last February of two Russian "underground" writers accused of slandering the Soviet system (TIME, Feb. 18). Andrei Sinyavsky and Yuli Daniel, both 40 and both widely read, had been smuggling pseudonymous manuscripts to the West since 1956 under the names Abram Tertz and Nikolai Arzhak. When the KGB arrested them last fall, the world expected a quick, quiet, Stalinesque show trial, in which the pair would meekly plead guilty, then...
