Arrest and sentences (1980-1986)
[edit]Some confusion in the previous text.
Lavut was given the maximum possible sentence under Article 190-1, but the camp authorities (and their superiors) wanted to keep him out of circulation for another few years. When his wife travelled across the vast country to meet him on release in 1983, therefore, she discovered that he would be restricted to living in that remote part of the USSR for another three years.
In 1988 Andrei Sakharov used his influence to enable Lavut to travel abroad. This was partly, I assume, so that Lavut could see one their children who had emigrated in the 1980s and was now living in the USA.
