It is as if they are deliberately trying to focus attention on the fact that they are a closed society. and they are daring someone to try to look behind the door. I dont know what the motivation is for this contradictory behavior. I only know that innocent people are being refused a basic freedom. the right to emigrate. and that the refusal of this right often leads to separation of families. isolation from loved ones. loss of Jobs. and a denial of religious freedoms. We all know of cases in which a Soviet Jew has been denied permission to leave the Soviet Union. and we are all very familiar with the frustration and anger created by these denials. The names and faces of the refusniks are many and varied. the circumstances and results are hauntingly similar.
