This soon led to threats of violence by her Muscovite neighbors. Finally in 1978. Ida Nudel committed the crime that would eventually send her into isolation in Siberia. Out of desperation. she hung a banner on her Moscow balcony stating: "KGBGive Me My Visa." Ida was convicted of "malicious hooliganism" and sent away for 4 years. Mrs. Nudel is one of many such persons persecuted by the Soviet Government for demanding their deserved human rights. However. Ida is unique in the fact that she is one of the three oldest such prisoners and the only woman among them. I have received correspondence from her sister Elena Fridman who Ida desires to join in Israel.
