Info

I am leaving this article in a poor state, because various sources give controversial information in details. Many of them simplify and second-guess the detail.

I hope someone reasonably familiar with the topic will write a correct text. I just want to warn not to rely on single source. Below are some my findings, in additions to books cited in the article. I am inclined to believe that >Rein Taagepera, Softening without Liberalization in the Soviet Union: The Case of Juri Kukk, 1984, ISBN 0819138010, 254pp< would be the most authoritative source, but it is not available to me. I know there exist versions of the book in Estonian and Russian (1992). - Altenmann >t 05:07, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.memo.ru/history/diss/books/ALEXEEWA/Chapter4.htm:
"Ю. Кукк — кандидат химических наук, сотрудник Тартуского университета, с 1966 г. был членом партии и даже членом партбюро. В 1979 г. подал заявление о выходе из партии, в августе 1979 г. был уволен из университета, стал добиваться эмиграции. Вскоре после подписания письма об Афганистане Кукк был арестован (13 марта 1980 г.). Под письмом протеста против его ареста в Президиум Верховного Совета ЭССР стоит 36 подписей — и эстонцев, и литовцев, и русских. "
