With the arrest of Viktor Barailovsky. the tyranny of the Soviet dictatorship has been brought to bear on a scientist of significant standing in the international scientific community. Dr. Barailovsky is well known for his work in cybernetics. and has over 30 published works to his credit. It is not. of course. for his outstanding scholarship that Viktor Barailovsky has been arrested. His crime was that of being a dissident in the Soviet totalitarian state. Since he and his wife. who is a mathematician. applied for permission to emigrate from the U.S.S.R.. they were both barred from pursuing their scientific careers. Dr. Barailovsky was active in organizing seminars in the Soviet Union for such scientists who have been denied the opportunity to work in their fields.
