Natural scientists and the so-called "technical intelligentsia" tended to be Westernist, but then from the beginning there were notable exceptions, such as the eminent physicist, mathematician, and author of Russophobia, Igor Shafarevich, and the founders of the notorious "Pamiat'" in the natural science preserve of Novosibirsk.
In an article titled "A Phenomenon of the Emigration," Shafarevich urged Russian readers to demand the outlawing of Sinyavsky, much as the Islamic fundamentalists outlawed Salman Rushdie.
