Victor Kravchenko Dies by Own Hand in New York
Victor A. Kravchenko, the 61 year old author of I Chose Freedom who defected from the Soviet Union in 1944, died Friday in New York after shooting himself. Neighbors joked he was a Russian spy as he kept vigil at his apartment window. His friend Robert St Clair found him and rushed him to Lenox Hill Hospital where he died. Kravchenko had long warned Russians abroad act as spies and had liberal battles with the U S government over Cold War tensions and his finances. He became a U S citizen in 1950 by act of Congress.
