An individual will want to be able to live the way they want to live. will want to be able to be honest individuals. read the type of literature. religious literature they want to read. associate with the type of religious friends they want to associate with. practice their religion in the manner they want to practice. recognize that you cannot simply do it in the Soviet Union. You bump up against the invisible but obvious wall that cannot be penetrated of acceptable behavior. When you go beyond that wall of acceptable behavior. you are in jeopardy. These people- therefore want to be honest. want to practice their religion. so they make an application. which is legal under Soviet law to emigrate from the Soviet Union. When they make the application. forthwith shortly thereafter they lose their jobs. Their spouses lose their jobs.
