In 1978, after a show trial in Moscow, he was sentenced to ten years in a Siberian Labour Camp.
Orlov was freed in 1986, only to be stripped of his Soviet citizenship and deported to the United States as a part of an exchange for a Soviet spy.
He is now a Professor of Physics at Cornell University.
