Proudly, a Soviet Dissident Is Buried
1989
Overview
''The arrest was a kind of boundary - a time when we understood that the authorities were going to go after those who disagreed with them,'' said Fazil Iskander, one of this country's most gifted storytellers, who joined other friends tonight around crowded tables at the apartment of Mr. [Yuli M. Daniel]'s son for toasts, tributes and recitations from memory of Mr. Daniel's work. His best-known story, ''This Is Moscow Speaking,'' opens with an official radio proclamation of ''public murder day,'' on which any citizen will have the right to kill any other citizen except policemen and public transit workers. The story recounts the reactions of various citizens, none of whom think to question the idea on moral grounds. ''It seemed then like we were losing a chance to pull out of a dead end,'' Mr. Iskander said tonight. ''I didn't know him then, but we protested against the closed trial and against the fact that a man could be arrested for his words.'' A Test of Courage
