"International scientific organizations and Mr. Sutyagin's colleagues call the proceeding a sham, noting that he had no access to classified information."

-- The New York Times, June 14, 2001

"What is really scary about Mr. Putin's espionage campaign is that the people on trial are distinguished mainstream academics, researchers, journalists and diplomats -- and the charges against them are transparently trumped up."

-- Washington Post, Editorial, March 14, 2001

"A chill is creeping over Russia's academic and journalistic communities as the implications of a key treason trial launched by the security service sink in: Almost any piece of information communicated to a foreigner could land you in jail."

-- Christian Science Monitor, January 19, 2001
