...seemed curious that the Kremlin had allowed him to leave. One theory had it that Tarsis' trip had been meant to distract attention from the trial of Soviet Writers Yuli Daniel and Andrei Sinyavsky (TIME, Feb. 18). According to a more ingenious version, he had promised the KGB (secret police) to publicly condemn Sinyavsky and Daniel when he reached London, then proceeded to do just the opposite.

...police wagon and a small truck drove up to the back door of a Moscow courthouse last week, avoiding the knot of students, the Western newsmen, and the two tearful wives who were waiting at the front. Into the vehicles were bundled Authors Daniel Sinyavsky, 40, and Yuli Daniel, 40, who were then whisked off to start serving terms of seven and five years, respectively, in forced-labor colonies.

On trial in a dingy yellow brick Moscow court house last week were bearded Critic Andrei Sinyavsky, 40, known as "Abram Tertz" in the West since his macabre manuscripts first appeared in London in 1960, and Translator Yuli Daniel, 40, alias "Nikolai Arzhak," in his underground work an equally outspoken short-story writer. In an 18-page indictment, they were charged under Ar ticle 70 of the Russian criminal code with disseminating "slanderous mate rial besmirching the Soviet state and social system...
Andrei Sinyavsky and Yuli Daniel, better known pseudonymously as Abrarri Tertz and Nikolai Arzha--are about to stand trial for publishing books that criticize conditions under Communism (TIME...
