The KGB told Leonid that the Purimspiels he had prepared were forbidden. and no more cultural activities would be permitted. He would in the future be charged with antiSoviet activities and face longterm imprisonment if he continued. Since then. Leonid has been working in parttime positions unrelated to the film or theater industry. On October 9. 1985. Leonid was severely beated by three assailants. Whether these ruffians were caught was and remains a matter of speculation. Leonid is still waiting for his exit visa. Leonid is just one of thousands of refuseniks in the Soviet Union. It is the obligation of all of us in the free world to demand the U.S.S.R. release these refuseniks and end this tyranny.
