Soviet writer’s appeal
fN.Z.P.A.-Reuler— Copyright) MOSCOW, Feb. 7. Andrei Amalrik, the 32-year-old Soviet writer sentenced to three years in a labour camp last November for anti-Soviet activities, will have his appeal heard in Moscow on Tuesday, friends of the author have said. Amalrik was convicted for anti-Soviet fabrication at a trial held in the Urals city of Sverdlovsk. He wrote the book “Will the Soviet Union Survive Until 1984?” a harsh criticism of Soviet society, which became widely known in the West though never published in Moscow. His appeal will be heard before the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, the largest of the constituent Soviet republics.
