Released Yank Is Home as Kazan-Komarek Freed
Vladimir Kazan-Komarek returned to his wife in New York after a series of diplomatic steps helped win his freedom from a Czech prison for operating a Cold War spy ring. He said he did not know why he was released as he reunited with Dorothy Kazan-Komarek at Kennedy Airport. Senator Kennedy and aides supported intervention with Czech President Athene Novotny, while U.S. officials denounced the Prague arrest as Russian-influenced. The Soviet jet stop near Prague sparked protests over a citizen’s transfer.
