Kaiser quotes only one Russian individual who ranks Radio Liberty fourth in popularity. Incidentally. there are dozens of foreign governments. ranging from the Vatican to Peking. which broadcast to the Soviet Union. Considering the endorsements of Radio Liberty made by the Nobel prizewinning author Solzhenitsyn and by many others. including 98 Soviet Jewish emigrants to Israel. there is surely room for differences of opinion among Soviet citizens. More important. a recent major behavioral study conducted in the period 197072 directly contradicts Kaisers report. This major study was based on interviews carried out by an independent public opinion research service in West Europe of 1.680 Soviet citizens. primarily tourists temporarily in the Westnone were emigrants. While the Voice of America had the largest number of regular listeners. Radio Liberty and the BBC tied for second place.
