In 1975. the Soviet Union. along with the United States and 16 other nations. signed the Helsinki agreement which sought to promote a more global recognition of human rights. While the United States has consistently lived up to its part of the agreement. this cannot be said of the Soviet Union. In the past few years. the Soviets have stepped up their war of internal repression. and as a result. the number of Jews allowed to emigrate from the Soviet Union has dropped off to a mere handful. This is both shocking and deliberate. Under the Soviet regime the Jewish population has declined steadily.
