BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN

At a time when people are being denied U.S. citizenship because of their pasts, the case of Viktor Knavsand his record in Yugoslavias secret police filesis an interesting one.

LJUBLJANA, SloveniaOne day not long ago Melania Trumps biographer in her Slovenian homeland, politician and author Igor Omerza, was flipping through hundreds of thousands of names on UDBA Net. Its an online database of the secret police archives of Communist Yugoslavia before the country came apart in the 1990s, which is when Slovenia won its independence. And among the IDs that appeared there, one name jumped out: Viktor Knavs, with the same birthday, parents, and hometown as the father of Melania Trump, who just became a naturalized American citizen.
The entry was cryptic, as such things are, but it noted the person is registered in the criminal record and cited articles 226 and 235 of the Yugoslav penal code. There is no indication of a charge, an investigation or a conviction, one way or the other.
According to a copy of the 1970 code, which was current at the time, article 226 involved the acquisition, sale or production of goods without the explicit permission of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Penalties ranged up to eight years in prison for someone organizing such commerce.
Article 235 involved tax evasion, with a maximum penalty of 10 years in jail depending on the amounts of money involved.

Barr might appreciate today's commencement in a nostalgic way. His former-OSS father as headmaster of the exclusive Dalton School in Manhattan hired Jeffrey Epstein to teach math to kids.

(but I hadn't realized it was her father. He looks a helluva lot like Barr, although I couldn't figure out why he'd be there.)
