Where would these people come from? There are more than 200.000 registered Soviet Jews. or Refuseniks. now living in the Soviet Union who want out. These are the people who hale formally requested exit visas from Russia. and who have been denied emigration. When they request visas. these people are fired from their jobs. ridiculed. and classified as noncitizens in the eyes of the Soviet Government. They. and their children. are constantly watched. harassed. and persecuted by the KGB. Would it not be an appropriate punishment if the Soviet Union was forced to release 1.000 Refuseniks for every life lost on light 007?
