Hopkins, Vol. 4, "Betrayed"

68: Yakir and Krasin

70: it was their survival instinct

72: example to stop others

74-75: Chronicle covers own demise

"The KGB's political case was helped by the fact that Radio liberty did routinely broadcast in Russian large segments of the Chronicle issues as they reached the radio's central offices in Munich, West Germany Germany. Moreover, Posev, the monthly Russian emigre journal ideologically connected to the NTS and published in Frankfurt, reprinted whole issues of the Chronicle. These reprints were distributed abroad and were also smuggled back into the Soviet Union. THe Chronicle group instantly realized that a tactical mistake had been made in Posev's and Radio Liberty's use of the Chronicle numbers....The KGB script for all the trials played amply on the fact that the Chronicle to all the appearance worked in unison with foreign enemies." (H,77)
