Jail for ‘parasite’
NZPA-Reuter Moscow A Soviet woman who wrote to President Andropov’s wife and daughter has been jailed for 18 months for “social parasitism,” said Soviet dissident sources. They told Western reporters that Tatyana Troussova, whose artist husband is serving a six-year sentence for anti-Soviet propaganda and agitation, was
convicted at a Moscow court and sent straight to a labour camp for not holding a job and for leading a parasitic life. Troussova, aged 45, said in a letter to the Andropov women on November 27 that she had given up her job as a teacher to help her daughter bring up her newly born child. She said she had continued to give lessons at home.
