Kim Fridman has been denied permission to leave since 1973. On what grounds? Alleged classified work in the Kiev Radio Plant which was conducted almost 15 years ago. Kim has been arrested several times and harrassed by the authorities for teaching Hebrew and the history of Russian Jews. I first met Vladimir Prestin in 1978 in Moscow and again in 1985 and his extraordinary courage had not diminished in spite of the fact that he and his wife have been consistently denied permission to emigrate because Vladimir worked on computers. Computers which became obsolete in 1969. The information to which he had access was also published in 1975.
