United Press International
NEW YORK — Former Soviet Gen. Pyotr G. Grigorenko, a World War II officer stripped of his rank and put in a psychiatric ward for five years for criticizing the invasion of Czechoslovakia, has been hospitalized in New York, his family said today.
Grigorenko, whose Soviet citizenship was revoked in 1977 while he was visiting the United States, became a U.S. citizen and has lived in New York since. Grigorenko, 79, has been hospitalized since November as a result of a slow recovery from a stroke that he suffered three years ago.
