Olga Medvedkovas plight is also moving. She and her husband are refuseniks and are also active in the nonauthorized Soviet antinuclear peace movement. Olga goes on trial tomorrow in Moscow on charges of resisting a representative of authority. It is not known whether this charge has any connection to their movement activities. I ask my colleagues to cable Soviet Chairman Chernenko and Ambassador Dobrynin. requesting that Olgas trial be canceled. that the charges against her be dismissed. and that she and her husband be allowed to emigrate to freedom. Mr. Speaker. there are many more examples of the realities of life in the Soviet Union.
