And. the same fate awaited the Helsinki monitors of the other East European countries. such as Charter 77 in Czechoslovakia and KOR in Poland.

Some dissidents and families have been allowed to emigrate. Sakharov and Bonner have been brought out of exile. social discussion is beginning. Even the policies of some other Eastern European nations have reflected this openness.
