They have lived there in two small basement rooms ever since. One of the sons was captured by Soviet guards as the families ran into the Embassy. Despite repeated requests. the Soviets refuse to allow these two families to emigrate to the United States. The family members are afraid to leave the Embassy for fear of arrest. Two of the daughters with whom my wife and I talked during our trip to Russia 2 years ago had been taken from the family and placed in an orphanage for 6 years because they had been receiving religious instruction in the home.
