Threats from the police continued. we still could not find any work. and refusal after refusal were still being issued to us. It must be said that the OVIR employees began to be sympathetic toward us. announcing that they themselves would certainly have let us out. that they understood our situation perfectly. but that. alas. it was not they who decided such questions. but some unknown commission which just found it unbearable to part with us. Meanwhile. persistent rumors circulated among the refuseniks. to the effect that emigration was easier from Tbilisi. We went to the capital of Georgia to explore and were told that. in fact. families such as ours emigrated from here without any difficulty. It was only necessary that halfayear pass from the time of our move to the city. We returned to Kiev on newlysprouted wings.
