Description

Examines the case of Soviet Estonian chemistry professor Juri Kukk, who died in prison three years after resigning from the Communist party. The author hypothesizes that Kukk's story illustrates how the Soviet regime has lately become dangerously erratic by becoming more hesitant in its acts without becoming more liberal in its outlook.
