Soviet Dissidents and Confession; Yakir-Krasin Case Recalls Stalin's Purge Trials Similarities and Differences Patriotism, Loyalty, Obligation Rethinking Past Errors'
Date: 07 September 1973
By THEODORE SHABADSpecial to The New York Times
news analysis of Sept 5 public recantation by Soviet dissidents P I Yakir and V A Krasin holds that 2 basic questions at stake are what makes strong-willed dissenters such as Yakir and Krasin avow 'such a total change of mind and heart' and broader issue of why USSR, a major world power, feels compelled to root out small dissident group; quotes from statements given by 2 men, who reiterate testimony given at their trial that they had damaged interests of state by publishing underground typewritten newsletter Chronicle of Current Events and by maintaining links with anti-Soviet orgns abroad; notes that recantation apparently is so sensitive that coverage cannot be entrusted to judgment of individual Soviet reporters as evidenced by fact that all papers, including authoritative Pravda and Izvestia, carry single approved version prepared by Govt press agency Tass; says that while there is no way of knowing whether recantations are genuine or sham intended to earn reduced sentences, enough is known about methods used during Stalin purges and at other times to suggest that dissenters' psychological resistance can be worn down; dissident physicist A D Sakharov has suggested in recent int with Western newsmen that such methods might have been used in Yakir's case; analysis contends that there are significant differences beneath superficial similarities of present recantation and great public confessions of Stalin era; says that Yakir and Krasin are well known as pol oppositionists and that some of their activities they now declare to be illegal can be corroborated by Western newsmen while victims of Stalin era were often arrested on false charges and confessed to 'fancied acts of conspiracy'; maintains that USSR's apparently overwhelming preoccupation with even the slightest pol opposition seems to reflect insecurity and fear that disaffection may spread and ultimately undermine Soviet regime
