Here is a Government which has successfully denied itself by denying the people it purports to govern. People who cannot express themselves freely will have a government chained in deed as well as in thinking to the granite of human resentment and regret. Abba Taratuta. my adopted Soviet refusenik. has suffered with his family in this abominable way since 1973. when he applied for emigration from the Soviet Union. As a mathematician. he was denied on grounds of security and his family and he had been badly treated by being denied education. commensurate jobs. and the freedom to leave and build a new life out of the shambles of their life in the Soviet Union. What a country which treats its people thus. It is my fervent hope that Abba and his family will soon be allowed to emigrate.*
