We first became acquainted with the family 5 years ago on June 27. 1978. when six of them along with two members of the Chmykhalov family traveled 3.000 miles from Chernogorsk. their hometown in Siberia. to the American Embassy in Moscow. They went at the invitation of Embassy officials in Moscow. They went at the invitation of Embassy officials to receive emigration advice. But because a member of their party was dragged away before entering the Embassy. the remaining seven determined they must stay in the Embassy to avoid a similar fate. Their visit turned into a 4 V2year stay.
