Though it has succeeded in imprisoning his body. it has not captured his mind. or controlled the spirit of freedom that has inspired a worldwide campaign on behalf of him and the simple goals to which he has committed his life. Anatoly Shcharansky is a hero throughout the worldand to so many in the Soviet Union as well. where he will stand forever as one who sought to guarantee the promises solemnly undertaken by the Soviet Government itself. For Anatoly. the Helsinki Final Act. which insured freedom of emigration and other basic human rights. was not a mere piece of paper but a contract with all of Soviet society. He worked tirelessly with the Committee for the Implementation of the Helsinki Agreement in Moscow to see that its promises were fulfilled. It was a bitterly frustrating struggle.
