Almost 10 years ago. June 17. 1974. to be precise. Victor first applied for emigration with his wife Tatiana and their six children. Their application was denied. and there was no reason given. In 1979. Mr. Popovsky appealed to the Ministry of Interior Affairs where he was refused yet again. the right to leave for Israel for permanent settlement. His petition for himself and his family. requesting the right to leave the Soviet Union for Israel where they could practice their religion in total freedom. free from harassment. is one of the most moving I have ever read. I include the petition in the RECORD.
