Ατελείωτη η λίστα φυγάδων επιφανών επιστημόνων, συγγραφέων, πολιτικών-και στρατιωτικών, προ του 1991 από το Δυτικό στο Ανατολικό Μπλοκ, αλλά στα ΜΜΕ του "Ελεύθερου Κόσμου" προβάλλεται ...μόνο η αντίθετη λίστα.

 Μιας και τα δυτικά ΜΜΕ, από το 1946 ως σήμερα, μας πληροφορούν σε  πρώτο πλάνο μόνο για  αποστάτες εξ Ανατολών που πάνε στην Δύση...  
Και, αλήθεια, πόσοι Έλληνες έμαθαν ποτέ πχ για την δυο φορές δραπέτευση από τη χούντα Ελλήνων πιλότων, ο ένας σε ΕΣΣΔ, ο άλλος στην Ιταλία,  με τα αεροσκάφη τους; 

"Ελλάδα:
1. Στις 11 Σεπτεμβρίου 1970, ένα C-47 της Ελληνικής Πολεμικής Αεροπορίας πέρασε τον σοβιετικό εναέριο χώρο στην περιοχή της Σεβαστούπολης με σκοπό να αυτομολήσει. Ο πιλότος ενός Su-15 πέταξε δίπλα του και κούνησε τα φτερά του, κάνοντας σήμα «ακολουθήστε με». Το C-47 συμμορφώθηκε και προσγειώθηκε στην αεροπορική βάση Μπελμπέκ. Ο Έλληνας πιλότος, σμήναρχος Μιχάλης Μανιατάκης, είχε κλέψει το αεροσκάφος από την αεροπορική βάση των Χανίων στην Κρήτη για να διαφύγει από την Ελλάδα που ελέγχεται από τη χούντα. Ο Μανιατάκης ζήτησε πολιτικό άσυλο στην ΕΣΣΔ.

2. Στις 25 Νοεμβρίου 1973, ο αντισμήναρχος της Ελληνικής Πολεμικής Αεροπορίας Δημήτριος Ζέλιος προσγειώθηκε στο αεροδρόμιο του Μπρίντιζι στη νοτιοδυτική Ιταλία και ζήτησε πολιτικό άσυλο."
