Soviet Jews and others are constrained from even the most basic of freedoms of thought. word and deed. The past several months have shown that progress can be made. evidenced by the arrivals in Israel of Isaac Shkolnik. Dr. Mark Nashpitz. Ilya Essas. Anatoly Shcharansky. and Yakov Gorodetsky. Yet. these are the exceptions to the rule. and unless and until the Soviet Union makes changes in its overall emigration policy. I cannot firmly say that the situation has measurably changed. We remember too Yuri Orlov. still in exile. Dr. Andrei Sakharov. alone in the closed city of Gorky. Yosef Begun. a Hebrew teacher serving a third prison term that will not see him released until the 1990s.
