Where were the dozens of current and former prisoners of conscience? How obscene to trot out to the Potemkin village of Birobijhain. Have you forgotten Thieriesenstadt? By whose authority do you claim that "1.5 million Soviet Jews live more or less satisfying lives" in the face of statesponsored antiSemitism and the nearly 50.000 refuseniks who have risked all for the legal right to emigrate to a land of their choice. to say nothing of the 400.000 who are known to want desperately to leave the USSR? Is it the eyewitness testimony of the Sharanskys. Orovs. and Sakharovs to be discredited by a few smiling. ironic faces tolerated by the KGB?
