…Soviet courts have always been extremely efficient.

In some peak times, Death Express runs in the Rs. Card in an orderly manner, and the trial basement is shot on the ground...

This is not the case now, but judges can still make judgments quickly, rather than having to go through endless and lengthy hearings like the United States.

The Soviet side believes that this is a manifestation of the efficiency of sh s judiciary.

A Soviet proverb says that God decides marriage, and the Kremlin decides life and death.

The judge discussed and considered the sentence and sentencing after leaving the court.

In the end, all defendants were considered guilty.

Kuznetsov and Dimsiz were sentenced to death and executed by firing.

The other defendants were sentenced to 4-15 years in prison respectively.

Edward felt that if there were no two death penalty, this verdict would be a bit strict, but it would not be unacceptable.

What is unacceptable is that when the death sentence was announced, thunderous applause and cheers sounded from the audience... neatly and uniformly.

But the Soviet Union was a member of this world after all. In the era when the media was extremely developed, this judgment caused an uproar.

The Vatican Pope issued a direct statement hoping that the Soviet government, as a humanitarian statement, would pardon the lives of these two people who should be condemned.

And the GC party in Western Europe (well, with the end of World War II, these so-called GC parties were almost penetrated by the intelligence agencies of their respective countries, like sieve), but on the surface, they still have the GC font size-.

Moscow knew this very well, but for his own sake, he had to pinch his nose and recognize it.

The purpose of those Western intelligence agencies maintaining these is to hold such a sign to reflect their own country's democracy, and to attract those domestic players to report to Moscow to ask for funding for party activities. The latter is really given to...

At this moment, these vest parties also called on the Communist Party of the Soviet Union to impose probation on these two guys. Although they didn't know if this was the vest party's own idea, or if the intelligence agencies "suggested" them to do so.

Ahem, the US Communist Party has been silent as always. The precious silence makes them more and more outstanding. God knows that this is the meaning of the US Communist Party leader or the will of Mr. Hoover.

Andrei Sakharov sent two letters to Nixon and Podgor at the same time, the latter being the chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet.

In his letter to Nixon, supporting a young American Communist Party member, Angela Davis, who could be sentenced to an extra-long prison sentence for accused of wanting revolutionaries to provide weapons, Sakharov suggested that Nixon use presidential privileges to pardon the young man.

The letter to Podgor shows support for Dimsiz and Kuznetsov, and of course requests to save their lives.

It is worth mentioning that Sakharov was a famous Soviet nuclear physicist.

There was not always a lot of cheers for this verdict in the Soviet Union.

A group of Soviet scholars stood up, calling on the Spanish right-wing government to delay the death sentences on some members of the Basque national movement; at the same time, they also asked the Soviet government to leniently deal with the two Jews.

Regardless of whether these people and actions are useful or not, at least such a trend has been formed internationally, requiring the Soviet government to raise its promises - a fixed-term imprisonment is sentenced at will, but please leave a dog's life.

The day before the Soviet court heard the defendants demanded probation.

Franco of Spain pardoned the Basques.

So the whole world looked at the Kremlin.

In December 1970, the court announced that it would change Kuznetsov and Dimsiz to 15 years in prison, but it delayed a small tail and executed it in the form of "special imprisonment", which was the most severe imprisonment method in the Soviet Union.

In name, the two escaped death, but in fact, "special imprisonment" has a notorious alias among the people, "death penalty - installment execution".

The trial of the hijacking case has ended here.

This was a credit for the Soviet Jewish legal protection plan, which was that they carried out operations in New York and influenced various heavyweights to join the ranks of mercy.

The situation is still not good now.

But at least, the lives of two people have been temporarily saved. As for the long and painful "special imprisonment" in the future, it can be reduced through other negotiation methods, such as changing to a prison with relatively good conditions, or revoking the punishment for special imprisonment and changing it to a general fixed-term imprisonment.

The second question before Edward and others was that after the trial of the Dimsiz-Kuznetsov case was completed.

For the trial of the leaders of the Soviet Jewish community.

Many people were arrested for the hijacking incident, and a series of individual trials will be launched against them.

The crimes are the same "the destruction directed by international Zionism against the Soviets."

The complaint does not hide its political tendencies: "International Zionism is conducting an ideological sabotage campaign against the Soviet Union and other socialist countries, publishing internationally with slanderous articles and sending so-called tour groups for activities. These activities have led to some people becoming a Zionist organization in Leningrad. Members of the organization remain closely linked to the Zionist community in Israel, advocating the sentiment among Jews to instigate immigration to Israel, using anti-Soviet pro-July propaganda materials, and some even published anti-Soviet books in capitalist countries!"

From Edward's perspective, there is certainly an exaggeration in this Soviet complaint.

But it is not completely unreasonable. You should know that the United States and the Soviet Union are fighting for hegemony, while Israel is relying on the US thigh to fight against all kinds of Soviet brothers in the Middle East.

It’s not that Israel is too strong, but that these little brothers are too useless. Su Xiu was eager to protect his son but was not good at sending troops himself, so he could only target Israel from other aspects to relieve the pressure on his little brothers.

So the Jews in the territory became bargaining chips.

Secondly, the reputation of Israel and Jews is not very good now.

Not to mention anything else, the current Israeli government is Menachim Begin, the boss of the Likud Group, who is a genuine KB member.

The "Irgon" he commanded back then was heavily in debt, and even the Jews looked down on him.

After Ben Gurion announced the founding of the country in 1948, he not only refused to stop, but even relied on the BK organization "Irgon" to try to gain national military power.

In the end, Ben Gurion forced to take a shady move. He first ordered the army to blow up an armistice ship from Irgon, and then issued an ultimatum to Begin: If you don't surrender now, you will never surrender.

Ben Gurion spoke publicly: In this new kingdom, even if a war is launched, I will start it.

Faced with the more ruthless, Begin chose to surrender, and then he transformed into a politician and entered Israeli politics. The political spectrum of the Likud group is the far right. It is not surprising that it evolved from the KB organization after all.

Begin took off his camouflage uniform and changed into military uniform, but no one has forgotten what he did when he was in charge.

It is not particularly difficult for the Soviet Union to have distrust of its own Jews and Israel.

What made Edward funny was that in order to prove that the indictment mentioned "books published abroad" were listed as a bunch of books, saying that these things were all anti-Soviet propaganda.

Among them, there is a book that looks very familiar, "My Glorious Brothers" written by Howard Fast. Edward read this book when he was in junior high school, but it was banned by the federal government soon after. At that time, McCarthy was arguing with the whole country, and the federal government believed that it was consciously promoting GCD.

It can be seen that propaganda redemption is a serious crime not only in kmt but also in the United States.

In addition, Edward was also very familiar with Howard Fast in his previous life, because his most famous work, "Spartacus", was not as good as the pornographic drama of the same name, but he was also a leader in serious literature.

As for why the Soviet Union also regarded it as a rebel?

That's because Howard publicly announced his withdrawal from the US Communist Party in 1957, but in fact he is still a left-wing writer full of justice. In "Spartacus", he uses the history of ancient Rome to satirize McCarthyism... As a result, he ended up being unpleasant.

...

After the trial of these people is completed, the next step is to conduct a small-scale trial of those who apply for immigration, and label them as "rogue behavior" or "parasite life".

For example, Pinkas Pinkasov, this guy is a carpenter with a low level of education and only one leg. He never cared about politics and lives in Delpengt, Dajikistan.

His only wish is to immigrate to Israel and be the first person in the area to file for an immigration application.

In fact, his family's immigration application was quickly approved.

However, the local government tried its best to persuade Pinkasov not to leave, for fear that he would become a bad example to take the lead as soon as he left, and other Jewish families would choose to leave.

But Pinkasov came up stubbornly and insisted on leaving. He waved the approved application and shouted at the local cadres, "Moscow has agreed, why do you still stop it?"

Soon he was arrested and sentenced to five years for charges when he was a carpenter, and his family was allowed to leave the country...

...

These are all problems.

At the same time, Kuznetsov secretly wrote a diary in the prison, but the prison search was very strict, and almost no one believed that these diaries could be taken out.

But he did it.

Specifically, he used his own fine brush to write the diary on white paper in the smallest possible font, and then put the white paper into small balls. The outside was coated with wax stolen from the pharmacy.

Every three months, his wife and parents are allowed to visit the prison, which is a separate cabin, located in a remote and rarely disturbed.

But before and after the prisoners and their families entered the cabin, they were stripped naked and searched, and all possible places with items were carefully inspected.

Kuznetsov swallowed some small balls before visiting, and then excreted them during visiting, clean them quickly, and hand them over to his relatives to swallow them...

Finally, these diaries were sorted out and published, and they were placed in front of Taylor and Edward.

This means that their job is not only to deal with this stupid hijacking case, but also to count the subsequent people involved, such as Pinkasov.

Talford Taylor was at a loss for this, and so did Edward.

But things have reached this point and we can't look back.

What prompted them to continue to work hard was not only their own face, but actually the Soviet authorities' handling of these Jews was also hard to describe.

Although this may not necessarily mean the Supreme Soviet, after all, Migoyan, who is highly positioned, powerful and well-received, is also a Jew.

In the information before Edward's eyes, many of the Jews' experiences afterwards are indeed sympathetic. The Soviets locked them up with the Russian traitors arrested during World War II, who were actually the top Russians.

Moreover, Jews would be sent to do the hardest and most tiring work, while those Russian traitors would be responsible for leisure work such as documents and guards.

As the information became more and more complete, Edward's work in the Soviet Jewish legal protection plan also increased.

Edward must stare at the witness's testimony, signature testimony, relevant documents, diaries and related physical evidence to ensure compliance with relevant legal procedures, or to remove certain things that are obviously problematic that will attract ridicule.

The most direct relative of each prisoner was authorized by Talford Taylor to entrust him with full authority to handle corresponding legal matters in the name of these prisoners.

By mid-December, all kinds of written documents have been processed almost.

However, the biggest problem has come to everyone's heart.
