There are many Soviet citizens who share this desire but. in my view. there are fewer people who have the striking need that the Kogens do for leaving that country. Both Naum and Fiana are in very poor health. I feel certain that their conditions could be treated more appropriately outside of the Soviet Union. Unfortunately. although they have followed all of the lengthy proscribed procedures for emigrating. they continue to be denied permission to leave the Soviet Union. Despite the apparently dismal prospects for their departure. Naum and Flana remain hopeful that someday they will be allowed to join other members of their family outside the Soviet Union. including their children who now live in Michigan.
