MRS OKSANA KASENKINA'S OWN STORY
INSTALMENT 18
DID not dream that my letter to the Soviel Consul-General would result in a raid on the Tolstoy Foundation farm to get me, and would bring Ambassador Panyushkin to New York to tako charge of my caso, leading to an inter- national incident.
I was in a panic when I had penned that fateful letter to the Consul, after contemplating my, position. My failure to sail on the Pobeda was tantamount to treason, a capital crime in Soviet Russia. Most of my possessions had been shipped home, my savings were nearly gone. I had no American friends. And my shelter among the Russian refugees was collapsing about me. There were the circumstances under which I wrote the controversial letter to the Consulate.

I followed the approved Soviet pattern for transgressors, made familiar by the confessions in the great purgo, of paying homage to the regime and its representatives. I know that this was the only way to save my life if I were to be returned to Russia.
I wrote that what happened had to be that I loved my country and my people, that I was not a traitor, and that I had always hated traitors, I emphasised that I had committed no crime against the government and that I had remained loyal to it while
