Why were the organizers of the nationwide s m e a r campaign against Sakharov allowed to pur-r sue their venture to the point of provoking the West, especially on the eve of the Geneva meet- ings on European security for, which the Soviets have been pressing so hard? Another mystery was why Deputy Soviet Prosecutor Mik- hail Malyarov summoned Sakha- rov to his office Aug. 16 to warn him sternly against meeting with foreigners. Up to that time Sak- harov had been relatively quiet and was nearly inaccessible to the Western press. IN A NEWS conference five days later, Sakharov said it was Malarov's threatening tone that was making him speak out. " The timing and conduct of the subversion trial of dissenters Pyotr Yakir and Viktor Krasin contrived to alarm Western opin- ion at a moment when an unruf- fled West was needed to make the European security discus- sions go smoothly for Rusia. Probably some who sought the trial knew full well that the "show trial" aspect of the pro- ceedings, evoking memories of Stalin's times, would stir opinion in the West. * Finally, there is the ques- tion of the so-called U. S. "repre- sentation list," which reflects the state of. Soviet - American re- lations. This is a list of Soviet residents who have applied to join close relatives living in the United States. LAST MAY, the names of about 670 people were turned over to Soviet authorities by the Ameri- cans. The Americans were given reason at the time to expect prompt action on a question with enormous public relations poten- tial for the Soviets.
