It is evident that the Soviet Government seeks to curtail religious freedom by noting the limited number of places of worship. In all of Moscow. a city with an estimated Jewish population of some 400.000. there is but one temple. In Moscow as well as throughout Russia. the life of the Soviet Jew continues to be one of both persecution and violence. of limitations on educational opportunities as well as the inability to emigrate freely. On all official papers. including his passport. the nationality of a Russian Jew is listed as "Jew." Political prisoners. such as Anatoly Shcharansky and Yuri Orlov. who have dared to speak out in opposition to the violation of human rights. still linger in Soviet cells. Yet Russia Is not the only nation where Jewish people continue to suffer the pains of persecution.
