OFFENDED RUSSIA
Jugoslav To Stand Trial
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter —Copyright) BELGRADE, March 29.
A Jugoslav professor, Mihajlo Mihajlov, who was arrested earlier this month, will stand trial on charges of publishing an offensive article about the Soviet Union.
He was charged with damaging the reputation of a foreign State when he appeared at a district court at Zadar on the central Adriatic Coast. The date of the trial has not been announced.
The 33-year-old professor, a Jugoslav of Russian origin, visited the Soviet Union last summer, and the article appeared in the January and February issues of the Belgrade magazine “Delo.” Mihajlov is an assistant professor of Zadar University. Miloslav Mirkovic, deputy editor of the magazine will stand trial with Mihajlov. The article said the first death camps had been set up in Russia, not in Nazi Germany, and the Russians had been the first to start deporting people to Siberia.
