Umansky affair

[Katz, Michael R.]

Dear colleagues:

I was asked to retranslate and annotate the transcript of Joseph Brodsky's trial in Leningrad for a forthcoming special issue of New England Review. In doing so, I came across a reference to the so-called "Umansky affair." Lev Loseff's book on Brodky could provide some information, but not enough to satisfy my curiosity.

Can anyone suggest some other sources I might consult? He sounds like a fascinating character.
