So obviously some of the folks from Vavilov have been able to travel abroad. but not Mr. Rubinov. A similar case is that of Dmitri Pevzner. a former employee of the Ravenstvo firm. Mr. Pevzner applied for an exit visa in June 1991. was refused. and has filed for reconsideration every 6 months. as stipulated by law. He has been rafused each time on the grounds of secrecy. According to Pevzner. the assistg.nt director of the Ravenstvo plant told him that he would be able to leave when the new law on entry an4 exit was passed. since his socalled secrets had been overtaken by events.
