This is true even in the Soviet Union. one of the most flagrant violators of human rights. Despite the still persistent persecution and oppression of Soviet Jews. the Communist rulers of Russia have. with increasing frequency. acknowledged the weight of world opinion. More and more Soviet Jews have been permitted to achieve their desire to practice their own religion in the country of their choosing by emigrating to Israel. This has been true even of some of those who have been imprisoned for their efforts to win freedom in Israel. I can cite a dramatic example of one such success for the cause of human rights in the person of Hillel Butman.
