Those who are not arrested face such hardships as unemployment. blatant discrimination. and verbal and physical abuse by gangs often linked to the KGB. The refusenik I have adopted. Grigory Gelhas. a former electronics student who has twice been refused permission to emigrate. now works as a watch repairman in Leningrad. He remains in poor health as a result of his 2year internment in a labor camp. He has been invited to study at Brandeis University. yet his chances for leaving diminish as the number of Jewish emigrants diminishes. Hope for Grigory Geihas. Roald Zelishenok. and other Soviet Jews does exist.
