Remembering a Jesuit priest imprisoned in the Soviet Union

An interesting news item from this day, October 12, 1963. 

After almost 23 years of imprisonment, US Jesuit priest Walter Ciszek was released by the Soviet authorities. He was Greek Orthodox. An interesting story. Did his story ever hit the headlines and that he was a Jesuit and a Greek Orthodox is also interesting?

Is a capitalist Russia any less cruel than a communist Russia?
