They could have shot him down but they didnt't want to risk an incident like de Korean 747 that was shot down in 1986.
In the end it gave Gorbatsjov a good oppertunity to sack the hardline soviet generals that could have blocked Perestroika.
A realy BRILLIANT action !

All the claims that Soviet air defence was weak is bullshit. So what? Americans also didnt stop several aircrafts (much larger than Cessna) in Sept 2001.

So what? Fighter can keep running circles around him if needed...fighters were ordered to abandon following him and then later directed back to find him but he probably landed somewhere before going to Moscow.

Soviet air force / air defence tracked them from west Gemany border, but they did not got order to shot down them (mainly for polical reasons to prevent scandal)

please, look at his flying route first. there's no need to track aircraft heading to island and norway. yes, i think russians were able to track since norway until moscow. but that they didn't shoot him down and this shows the degree of 'bardak' in soviet army. after that gorbachev got oppurtunity to fire some general who opposed his politics. afterall this was very stupidly brave act from rust. brought lots of excitement for me too, 'cause i had my 13th birthday that day :)
