...included in the release were some of the more prominent Jewish dissidents, including Begun, Yuli Edelshtein and Sakhar Zunshein. Several of the remaining prisoners had apparently refused to sign a letter requesting a pardon and pledging that they would not engage in any more anti-Soviet propaganda. Though the Kremlin claims to have told 500 Soviet Jews last month that they could emigrate, a figure that is almost certainly exaggerated, it seemed clear last week that most refuseniks were not yet enjoying the benefits of glasnost.

Unlike the first session, the second involved Karpov's principal associates, Yuli Kvitsinsky and Alexei Obukhov. The two had sat out the opening meeting, apparently to underscore the Soviet position that the three "baskets" of arms issues under consideration must be resolved together...
