Long before Victor Yachot submitted his petition papers to OVIR. he was relieved of his job. By the same token right from the beginning they started to break the law. With great difficulty he managed to get a character resume from his place of work. without which the OVIR does not accept any petitions and documents. that are necessary for an emigration permit. Victor Yachot has turned to a great many highly placed Soviet organizations with the plea to let him emigrate--but there was no answer. He then turned to the KGB. the offices of the CK (Central Committee) but the endless requests did not bring any answers. To symbolize a protest Victor Yachot announced a hungerstrike and addressed an open letter to the CKagain no answer was forthcoming.
