Soviet-US Relations. STARTING THE DAY (Voznesenskaya, M 5) recalled the case of American schoolgirl Samantha Smith, who was invited to the USSR after having written a letter to the Kremlin asking why the Soviet leaders were threatening the world with war and who was killed last August in an air crash. The program spoke of a propaganda maneuver by the USSR, and said that while she might have been a source of irritation upon returning home, like other pacifists in the West she was not subjected to any persecution, in contrast to pacifists in such countries as the USSR and the GDR. Commenting on an article in Pionengmya Pravda suggesting that the air crash could have been the work of "enemies" who saw Samantha Smith as an "agent of Moscow," the program said the international declaration of children's rights describes instilling in children a hatred of other peoples as a crime and cited the Bible that those whom miskod children should have a millstone tied around their neck and be thrown into the sea. 2. Dissidents and Human Rights. In HUMAN RIGHTS (Alexeyeva, NY 20), a RERUN from December 26, veteran human rights activist Lyudmila Alexeyeva commented on the deteriorating human rights situation in the USSR in 1985. -
NJM 1973 Manifesto
The Manifesto of the New Jewel Movement The New Jewel Movement Manifesto was issued late in 1973 by the New Jewel Movement party of Grenada. The Manifesto was presented at the Conference on the Implications of Independence for Grenada from 11-13 January 1974. Many believe the Manifesto was co-written by Maurice Bishop and Bernard Coard. According to Sandford, in August 1973, “the NJM authorized Bishop to enlist the services of Bernard Coard in drafting a manifesto . .” In 1974 Coard was part of the Institute of International Relations and would not return to Grenada to take up residency until September 1976; nevertheless, he traveled between islands. Scholar Manning Marable asserts this: “The NJM's initial manifesto was largely drafted by MAP's major intellectual, Franklyn Harvey, who had been influenced heavily by the writings of [CLR] James.” Another influence is attributed to Tanzanian Christian Socialism. Below is a combination of the text from versions of the Manifesto. The Manifesto begins with this introduction: MANIFESTO OF THE NEW JEWEL MOVEMENT FOR POWER TO THE PEOPLE AND FOR ACHIEVING REAL INDEPENDENCE FOR GRENADA, CARRIACOU, PETIT MARTINIQUE AND THE GRENADIAN GRENADINES (1973) ALL THIS HAS GOT TO STOP Introduction The people are being cheated and have been cheated for too long--cheated by both parties, for over twenty years. Nobody is asking what the people want. We suffer low wages and higher cost of living while the politicians get richer, live in bigger houses and drive around in even bigger cars. The government has done nothing to help people build decent houses; most people still have to walk miles to get water to drink after 22 years of politicians. -

March 2, 1984. Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars This paper is dedicated to all those Arrericans who fought inside inter-government circles for the release of the Grenada docurrents to the Arrerican press and academic camrun.ity, thereby preventing the unnecessary classification of this material. The murder of Grenadian Prine Minister Maurice Bishop and his supporters and the subsequent U.S. and East caribbean security forces invasion of Grenada brought into sharp focus for the Arrerican people sare of the problems festering in the Caribbean region. The factors and cxmditions culminating in t-1aurice Bishop's ascension to power in 1979 and the reasons for his downfall five years later are issues that nndoubtedly will concern and occupy researchers and analysts for years to care, for what happened in Grenada was in m:my ways a reflection of what has taken place in other would-be Leninist conntries of the third world. Like U.S. policy to.vard Cuba, al:out which there is still no consensus as to whether it has been a limited success or a total failure, the subject of U.S. policy to.vard Grenada also will be one of unwaning interest for m:my scholars.

Irina Ratushinskaya, 63 Turned Prison Into Poetry
The Washington Post July 10, 2017 Irina Ratushinskaya, 63 Turned prison into poetry Irina Ratushinskaya, a Soviet poet and dissident who was imprisoned for three years at a labor camp, around 1988. She was freed from the camp two years earlier. (Marianne Barcellona/The LIFE Images Collection/Getty Images) by Harrison Smith In April 1983, Irina Ratushinskaya was sentenced to seven years’ forced labor, shipped off to a camp in the Mordovian town of Barashevo, 300 miles southeast of Moscow. The 29-year-old’s crime, more or less, was poetry: “anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda,” though Ms. Ratushinskaya described herself as apolitical and was more likely to pen verses about the view through her window than the repressive regime of Leonid Brezhnev. Ms. Ratushinskaya, who died July 5 at 63, was among the last political prisoners of the Brezhnev era, and among the first to be released under Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, who arranged for her release in October 1986, while flying to meet President Reagan at a political summit in Reykjavik, Iceland. Her three years in the camp — where she worked to make gloves for Soviet workmen and was fed little more than bread and rotten fish broth — nearly killed her, but resulted in an acclaimed memoir, “Grey Is the Colour of Hope” (1988), and more than 250 poems that bore witness to an undiminished optimism. “We live stubbornly,” she began one poem : Ms. Ratushinskaya meets Margaret Thatcher, Britain’s prime minister, in December 1986, two months after her release from a Soviet labor camp.

Focusing on the National Joint Action Committee and the New Beginning Movement, it examines their critiques of the Westminster model of governance, and the alternatives they offered. It considers whether these critiques gave rise to any political reforms in Trinidad, and asks whether the apparent failure of the Black Power movement to bring about radical political change testifies to the legitimacy and robustness of the Westminster model in the Trinidadian context. -
I Was Born 1954, Next Year After Tyrant's Death
Hall 1. CASE A I was born in 1954, next year after tyrant’s death. Government’s bulletins about dying Stalin having “Chain- Stocks” breathing gave the hope to my parent’s generation that they will breathe more freely. Yet “Archipelago GULAG” did not vanish completely. Three of our family got first hand experience in 70’s-80’s of what it is to be a prisoner of conscience. First my father, then my wife and I. Then the wall was broken, communist party and Soviet Union ceased to exist, criminal code was changed and article 70 we were charged by removed, special political labor camps were closed and former prisoners rehabilitated. Once again there was a hope that GULAG is dead. Once again this hope has been proven to be wrong. There are political prisoners in Putin’s Russia. These are people imprisoned because of government’s political reasons. The country, its rulers and prisoners, the life itself is very different, but prison does not change much. In 1992 I had a rare opportunity to tour Russian prisons and labor camps - this time as a photographer, not as prisoner. Most of the pictures on this exhibit are from that trip. These pictures and artifacts would allow you to glance at one island of the archipelago so to speak. Overhung: Door into solitary confinement cell. My wife spent many days behind it. Books GULAG HISTORY BY APPLEBAUM, MY TESTIMONY BY A.MARCHENKO Books and dissemination of information and opinions in general were by far the most common reasons for political imprisonment during 60’s – 80’s. -
