In addition to commemorating the arrest of the "criminals" of the first Leningrad trial. which marked the beginning of a systematic plan to subdue the Jewish national movement emerging in the U.S.S.R.. I have agreed to correspond with these two young men. It is my desire that writing to Arkady and Leonid will offer them hope for themselves and for their people. Once before. worldwide protests at the violation of Soviet and international law regarding freedom of emigration caused an increase of exit visas for Soviet Jews. Let men and women of every faith and nationality take this opportunity to join together in loudly protesting such abuses. Let us offer hope and inspiration to prisoners such as Arkady and Leonid.
