Dear Robert and SEELANGERS,

On Yekaterina (or Ekaterina) Olitskaia - <aia> - that is a more usual  
spelling for library recourses, besides the Russina language edition,  
there is a translation of her memoirs in French (Le sablier: mémoires/  
Olickaja, Ekaterina L'. [Paris] Deux Temps Tierce, 1991) and a paper  
<?>: The diary of Ekaterina Olitskaia /Pospielovsky, Dimitry,  
Olitskaia, Ekaterina. New York: Radio Liberty Committee, 1970 [Radio  
Liberty research paper, no. 39, 1970. Both sources (which I didn't  
have a chance to read) are available though the American Library system.
As to other possibilities (will require more time and efforts) -  
Russian literary magazines of the time of the Thaw - Novy Mir first of  
all - are invaluable sources of such publications. Finally, if I would  
need a help from an expert I would contact Gabriel Superfin who lives  
in Germany now; to my knowledge (actually not only to mine) he is one  
of the best connoisseirs of the problem discussed.

Regards,

Vadim
