Leaks and Kremlin Tactics in the Shcharansky Case
The piece alleges NSC Deputy David Aaron leaked that Lipavsky, Shcharansky’s Moscow friend, worked briefly for the CIA in 1975. It argues the leak intended to blunt Soviet prosecutions, while Carter’s public exoneration of Shcharansky risks undermining the dissident case and U.S. credibility. It also notes Lipavsky’s double agent role and Dina Berlin’s emigration as Moscow’s moves.
