During a trip to the Soviet Union in late August of this year. I had the opportunity to meet with Ludmilla Volvovsky. Ludmilla described to me the numerous hardships her family has endured since they first applied to emigrate to Israel in 1974. Her husband. Leonid. anelectrical engineer by profession. was dismissed from his Job and forced to work at various odd Jobs after applying for a visa. In 1979 the Volvovskys moved from Gorky to Moscow so that Leonid could find employment as well as participate in Moscows Jewish refusenik circles. Shortly after their arrival. the Volvovskys apartment was ransacked. several hundred Jewish history and cultural books were confiscated. and their landlord served them eviction papers.
