The Soviets are also dedicated to keeping their own people enslaved. A prime example of the true nature of the Soviet State is the persecution experienced by Soviet Jews. Almost 400.000 Soviet Jews have expressed a desire to emigrate from the Soviet Union. Nearly 50.000 have applied for exit visas and been refused. Yet with all these people waiting to leave the Soviet Union. a mere 1.140 were allowed to leave in 1986. Dont be fooled by lipservice to human rights. Let us instead focus on the facts. Last November. the Soviet Foreign Minister announced a new emigration policy that was ostensibly designed to simplify and accelerate the emigration process. This policy is a farce. In the first 2 months of 1987. only 244 Soviet Jews were allowed to leave the Soviet Union.
