Shcharansky
Continued from Ppge 1
paper, Bild. Citing information
it had obtained from what it
called "Moscow Kremlin circles,"
Bild reported that Shcharansky
and three or four Western in-
telligence operatives held by the
Soviet Union would be freed in
exchange for an equal number
of Eastern bloc agents jailed in
the West. The exchange, said
Bild, is scheduled for this Tues-
day on the Glienicke Bridge di-
viding West Berlin from East
Germany.
No public comments about the
Bild reports have been forth-
coming from Soviet officials. On
Monday, a U.S. representative
told the New York Times that
talks regarding Shcharansky
have been proceeding "off and
on" for several years. "I think
there's always been an interest
in getting Shcharansky out," he
said. "This time the Soviets are
apparently agreeable."
Appearing on the ABC-TV
show, "Good Morning, America,"
on Monday, Secretary of State
Shultz declined to discuss the
Shcharansky case. He did state,
however, that the U.S. would
regard as a "positive develop-
ment" the Soviet release of any
imprisoned dissidents and eas-
ing of curbs on emigration.
Nevertheless, other Adminis-
tration officials and members of
Congress confirmed the ar-
rangements that had been re-
ported about Shcharansky's re-
lease.
While stating that he was not
privy to any inside information
about Shcharansky, the head of
one Soviet Jewish organization
in Washington noted that there
was some "comfort" in the offi-
cial reaction to news reports.
"Usually," he said, "there is
unanimous agreement that
something like this is an exam-
ple of. Soviet disinformation.
This time around, hardly any-
one is saying that."
Shcharansky's wife, Avital,
went into seculsion on an Israel
kibbutz on Sunday. She was re-
portedly skeptical about the op-
timistic reports regarding her
husband. She has been disap-
pointed in the past when similar
reports proved false.
Avital Shcharansky has been
a resident of Jerusalem since
she was forced by Soviet officials
to leave the USSR the day after
she married her husband in
1974. Since then, she has be-
come an articulate spokesperson
for the cause of Soviet Jews.
The wave of reports about
Shcharansky come on the heels
of a 30-Page letter that
Shcharansky's mother and
brother received from him last
month. Speaking in Moscow,
Leonid Shcharansky said his
brother had written from a labor
camp near Perm in the Urals
that he was receiving better
medical treatment and was
being given more time for read-
ing, walking and resting. The
Shcharansky family was not
certain whether these improve-
ments were related to a possible
release.
"There have- been rumors be-
fore and I hoped for Anatoly's
release," said Leonid
Shcharansky, "but I did not
really believe it would happen.
This time I believe it will."
Anatoly Shcharansky was
born in January 1948 in the
Ukraine. His parents were
Zionists. Shortly after graduat-
ing from the Institute of Physics
in Moscow, he refused a job in
his field of speciality, computers,
in the hope this would better his
chances of leaving the Soviet
Union for Israel. (Soviet
authorities often refuse exit
visas to Jews by claiming that
they are familiar with "state
secrets" through their jobs.)
Shcharansky's first applica-
tion for a visa was declined in
1973. With his fluent English,
he served as a spokesman for
other aliyah activists. He was
fired from his job at the Moscow
Research Institute in early
1975. About 15 months later,
Shcharansky became a founding
member of the unofficial Hel-
sinki Monitoring Committee. In
March 1977, he was accused in
Inestia of collaborating with the
CIA. Arrested 10 days later on
charges of treason and espion-
age, he was held in isolation for
18 months.
At his trial in July 1978,
which Shcharansky's mother
has called "a farce resembling
the Dreyfus affair,"
Shcharansky defended himself,
despite being convinced that his
was "a hopeless case from the
very beginning — all the more
so since I was declared guilty by
Izuestia a full year and a half
before this trial took place and
even before the case was opened
and the investigation began.
"My people," said
Shcharansky, "have been op-
pressed all over the world for
2,000 years, Yet, in every place
in which they found themselves,
they said again and again, 'Next
year in Jerusalem.' Now, when I
am farther than ever from my
people and my (wife) Avital,
when I face long hard years of
imprisonment, I turn to my
people and to my Avital and
say: 'Next year in Jerusalem.
Next year in Jerusalem'."
1982,
September
In
Shcharansky began the first of
his several hunger strikes. He
has been repeatedly punished by
authorities for these gestures. In
1984, for instance, he spent 55
days in an isolation cell where
he was fed once every two days.
Last October, he received a
five-month sentence of isolation
for protesting through a hunger
strike camp authorities' refusal
to deliver his mail. At various
times during his long imprison-
ment he has reportedly been in
dangerously poor health, suffer-
ing from malnutrition and eye
problems.
