Soviet newspapers responded to Western media attention to the persecution of human rights defenders in the USSR not only by vilifying these activists as ‘renegades’, but also by expressing solidarity with the African-American targets of state repression in the United States. Soviet journalists focused on the persecution that US Black Power activists such as Angela Davis and members of the Black Panther Party faced in the late 1960s and early 1970s in order to challenge the moral high ground that US officials claimed with regard to upholding civil rights in the face of unwanted domestic dissent
