Chebrikov, Terebilov, and Bazhenov to Central Committee, August 13, 1984
The trial of Elena Bonner
On August 9–10, 1984, the Criminal Court of Gorky Oblast, after hearing in open court sessions the criminal case against E. G. Bonner, found her guilty of committing a crime under Article 190–1 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR….
Bonner is found guilty of systematically disseminating libelous materials, including sound recordings and videotapes, throughout the years 1975–84 on the territory of the USSR and during her trips abroad.
In particular, during her trips abroad, she spoke at press conferences attended by West European journalists and media representatives, and knowingly made libelous statements to the effect that the Soviet people allegedly live in fear, are deprived of protection by the courts and trade unions, and are subjected to repression for their convictions.
In both oral and written form, Bonner systematically transmitted to diplomats and correspondents of capitalist states slanderous information about the rights and freedoms of Soviet citizens and other questions. Among close associates and in conversations with foreigners, she has demagogically asserted that “the violation of the rights of Soviet citizens and baseless repression constitutes governmental policy.”
These and other slanderous fabrications by Bonner have been used by the intelligence services and propaganda organs of the USA and other NATO countries to stir up anti-Soviet campaigns.
Bonner committed the above acts despite repeated warnings by law enforcement organs that this type of behavior is intolerable. Bonner's guilt was irrefutably confirmed by the testimony of witnesses and by a large body of material evidence. However, although Bonner confirmed the factual side of the charge, she did not admit to being guilty. The court collegium, considering the crimes but also taking into account the age of the defendant (62), sentenced Bonner to five years' exile….
