The announcement, shocking for the average Soviet reader in its criticism of the powerful Committee for State Security, was carried on the front page of the Communist Party newspaper Pravda.

It wasn't clear if the article signaled an adoption by Cherhikov of Gorbachev's personnel policies, or if the KGB chairman came under pressure to take personal responsi bility for cleaning up the Dichenko case.
