Today is day 117 of Sentsov’s hunger strike. The condition of someone existing without food for that long is horrifying to imagine. 117 is also the number of days that Anatoly Marchenko, a Soviet dissident, spent on a hunger strike in 1986 to demand the release of all political prisoners in the Soviet Union. Marchenko was force-fed during most of his hunger strike through a tube in his stomach, an experience he described in his letters as pure torture. He died from heart failure a little under two weeks after he ended the hunger strike.

To those who knew him as a strong-limbed man only a short while ago, Sergei Petrov is a pitiful sight. After 49 days on a diet of water, he has lost nearly 52 pounds, nearly 30 percent of his normal weight. He complains of dizzy spells, he can barely walk unaided and he tires quickly during his almost daily sessions with reporters.

Mr. Petrov, a 29-year-old freelance photographer, is on a hunger strike seeking the right to emigrate to the United States to live with his wife, Virginia Hurt Johnson, a 23-year-old law student from Roanoke, Va. They met while Miss Johnson was a student at the Pushkin Institute in Moscow studying Russian and were married in February 1981. Both say that Soviet officials posed no objection to the union.

Now Mr. Petrov appears set on a course that could easily be fatal. Twelve days ago a senior Soviet emigration official summoned Western reporters to his office and announced that both Mr. Petrov and Yuri V. Balovlenkov, another Soviet citizen who is on a hunger strike for the right to join his American wife, had been ''temporarily refused'' exit visas because in the past they had ''had access to information constituting a state secret.''

In May 1984, Sakharov's wife, Yelena Bonner, was detained, and Sakharov began a hunger strike, demanding permission for his wife to travel to the United States for heart surgery. He was forcibly hospitalized and force-fed. He was held in isolation for four months. In August 1984, Bonner was sentenced by a court to five years of exile in Gorky.

In April 1985, Sakharov started a new hunger strike for his wife to travel abroad for medical treatment. He again was taken to a hospital and force-fed. In August, the Politburo discussed what to do about Sakharov.[50] He remained in the hospital until October 1985, when his wife was allowed to travel to the United States. She had heart surgery in the United States and returned to Gorky in June 1986.
