Movement (Gestapu) attracted the writer’s attention, especially ahead of October

written by Tempo about the General Chairperson of Gerwani Umi Sardjono.

circles as pro-PKI. However, it is possible for Tempo to explain history using the
editorial policy. Based on some of the problems above, we decided that the purpose
