Why does the Soviet Union continue to repress the Sakharovs? Two and a half years ago. the Soviet Government refused to let Lize Alekseyeva. the fiancee of Dr. Sakharovs stepson. to immigrate to the United States. The Sakharovs went on a hunger strike at that time also. and risked their lives. Finally. the Soviet Union gave in after nearly 3 weeks and let the young lady join her fiancee in the United States.
