Chernenko came to power. the KGB has been given a carte blanche in operating against human rights groups and Jewish dissidents in the Soviet Union. The new Soviet leadership has vowed to crush all dissident activity. As part of this Kremlin crackdown on Jews in that country. Jewish emigration has been reduced. Under the leadership of Chernenko. only 305 Jews left during the first 4 months of this year. It is quite obvious to me that the Soviets are playing hardball on the emigration issue. How can a country which has signed solemn agreements ignore its commitments? How can a nation which claims to be a superpower treat an old. sick couple in this fashion?
