Kogan lost their jobs and remain unemployed to this day. The tragedy of Naur Kogan and thousands of others like him is also that of the current Soviet regime. Despite Mr. Gorbachevs youth and seeming willingness to confront the economic problems of the Soviet Union. he has not implemented a genuinely new emigration policy. He has broken with precedent only in using emigration laws and political prisoners to aggressively build a new myth about himself and his government throughout the West. But let us not confuse the Gorbachev myth with the reality of cancer patients and refusniks unable to enjoy the basic freedom of exit. For every Sakharov.
