Andropov to the Central Committee (10 July 1970) 
 
	During the judicial proceedings, three to four foreign journalists 
were present, including DORNBERG (a correspondent for the American 
journal Newsweek) and ARMOUR  (correspondent for the Reuters 
agency), who established contact with IAKIR, TEL'NIKOV, ESENIN-
VOLPIN, and EFIMOV.
	The Committee for State Security, through its agents, transmitted 
to public opinion in the West information about the trial and the incident 
that occurred outside the windows of the courtroom. 
	Simultaneously, the Committee for State Security reports that the 
behavior of the lawyer S. V. KALLISTRATOVA at the trial was improper, 
denying that GORBANEVSKAIA had committed any crime. Moreover, in 
her speech at the trial, KALLISTRATOVA associated with the convictions 
of GORBANEVSKAIA, describing as "assessments" the slanderous 
materials that the accused had prepared and that discredited the Soviet 
State and social order. It was no accident that, at the end of the trial, 
IAKIR, ALEKSEEVA, and their associates brought flowers and greeted 
KALLISTRATOVA like a "hero."
Such behavior by a lawyer in a judicial trial is not unique. According to 
information at our disposal, a group of Moscow lawyers (D. K. 
KAMINSKAIA, N.A. MONAKHOV, Iu. B. POZDEEV, and V. B. ROMM) took 
a similar position in defending people who had been accused of anti-
Soviet and antisocial activity (in the form of slander against the Soviet 
State and social order). There is now a  situation where this group of 
lawyers participates in virtually all such cases that arise in different 
parts of the country. They often act in direct collaboration with antisocial 
elements, informing the latter of materials in the pretrial investigation, 
and jointly devising a strategy for the behavior of the accused and 
witnesses during the investigation and trial
