Action Group (Initiative Group)

Best perhaps to use Action Group as the main heading? That's the form used in the standard translation of the Chronicle. (It's also less of a mouthful.)

Hm, that's a good question. As far as I can see, more recent historical scholarship prefers "Initiative", but AFAIK "Action group" was the main form used during the time, also in Congressional hearings in the US etc. Nkrita (talk) 19:04, 26 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

References for Chronicle of Current Events (CCE)

When website goes live the direct references to standard translation (Uncensored Russia) of CCE will be:

CCE No 8, 30 June 1969, 8.10 "Appeal to the UN Commission on Human Rights" (setting up of Action Group);
CCE No 6, 28 February 1969, 6.10 "An appeal by Grigorenko and Yakhimovich";
for Jan 1968 appeal to international Communist movement by Litvinov, Bogoraz and 12 others, see CCE No 1, 30 April 1968, 1.4 "An appeal to Budapest conference of Communist and Workers' Parties".
