Part II.
On February 11, 1970, a sentence was sentenced:
“Three“ Tourists ”were in the dock – their affairs were obeyed yesterday in the People’s Court of the Sverdlovsk District. Two cases are two court sessions. But there is only one essence – political hooliganism … provocative actions of the so -called tourists were developed in advance. In Rome-the pro-fascist youth organization Europ Chivilt, led by President Fakinetti, in Belgium-the Flemish Catholic Union, led by Roger de-Deve …
“The defendant still, how much did your ticket cost?”

Clearly: Eorop Chivilt paid for provocation
– The defendant Marinateszi, in addition to the ticket, handcuffs and leaflets, what else did you provide in Rome?
– I received money for pocket expenses and boots.
And at this time in the next room:
– Defendant Branthege, who was preparing your trip?
-Roger de-Vosti. He supplied me with leaflets and money …

On the pages of the largest Russian -language newspaper USA “New Russian Word” the actions of convicts were given the following assessment:
“… Byron’s real heirs are those brave boys and girls who climb into the very den of the communist beast, so that, risking everyone there, to challenge the folk freedom to the stranglers. Recently, such young knights were captured in Moscow, who came to their feat from Italy and Belgium. The name is from – Teresa Marinateszi, Valentino Taki and Viktor Van Branthegem. The Russian people will remember these names.
It was impossible to hide what happened. Obviously, everyone spoke about this in the capital. On Saturday, January 17, in the Central Department Store, and then on Sunday at the Operetta Theater, young foreigners scattered anti -Soviet leaflets and shouted: “Long live freedom!” The store was full of buyers; In the theater, leaflets flew during the interval on the heads of numerous spectators. It turned out that the witnesses turned out to be as much as they wanted … And what kind of “hooligans” these young idealists who came from free Europe to the gloomy Bolshevik satrapy, in order to openly protest against lawlessness and oppression. After the deeds they had done, they did not run away, but on the contrary, they chained themselves in chains to the railing of the balcony, so that it would be more difficult for the Bolshevik executioners to lead them away from the people. These are not scum, but disinterested heroes in the full meaning of the word that has lost their power “
