‘Once the Jew has applied for
permission, he may be arrested

Yanpolsky said * Russian laws

Jews who are trying to leave the

"The Jew will be followed by
government agents," he con-
tinued. “If he is attacked in the
street he cannot fight back
because then he -not the at-
tacker-will be arrested for
street-fighting.”

one-half years trying to obtain a
visa, was imprisoned twice The

Younger Jews must also have
parental permission, Yanpolskv
said. This permission is
sometimes difficult to obtain
because parents fear action by
the Committee of State Security,
the Soviet secret police
A third, and very difficult
prerequisite for permission is a
character reference from the
applicant's last job. "This means
that you lose your job the day
after you apply for permission,"
Yanpolsky said.
“You have no income while
waiting for permission, which
may take one to two years," he
said. This is what happened to the

A Soviet Union-bom Jew of-
fered specific suggestions
recently on how Americans can
help Russian Jews who are
having difficulty leaving the
USSR
Mark Yanpolsky, who is now an
Israeli citizen, made his
suggestions in an interview
March 21 prior to a speech at the
Hillel Foundation
Yanpolsky urged interested
members of the university
community to adopt" Zinovy
Melamed, a Russian Jew living in
Kiev.
Under the "adopt^a-family”
plan, which is sponsored by
Students Struggle for Soviet
Jewry. Americans in a particular
area establish personal contact
with a Jewish family which is
having difficulty obtaining
permission to leave Russia
The Americans can write or
call the family, and write to
Russian authorities and to their
senators and congressmen, he
said.
Yanpolsky also urged
Americans to write their
congressmen m support of a
current amendment which would
refuse “favored nation" trade
treatment to countries which do
not have free emigration
Melamed, the Jew whom
people in this area have been
urged to adopt, has a wife and
two children He has been at-
tempting to gain exit permission
for two years During this tune he
has been refused a job and been

polsky said
Yanpolsky added it is im-
perative that Melamed be gotten
out of Russia immediately,
because a series of political trials
are likely to begin soon in Kiev.
Further information and
Melamed's address are available
from the Hillel Foundation
Yanpolsky also described the
problems the Jew may face in
trying to emigrate from Russia to
Israel.
"In order to apply for per-
mission to emigrate, the Jew
must first have an invitation
from a relative in Israel,"
Yanpolsky said.
These invitations are sent to
every Jew in Russia, he said, but
Munich.
“1 was finally granted
nussion after J had beoxne^
tive in the movement," he said
"The government then wanted to
be nd of me.”
"If a Jew is educated he
usually is refused permission the
first time he applied," Yanpolsky
said Reasons such as “state
interests” or “knowledge of
army secrets" are cited
Ctoe person he knew, who had
served as a shoemaker m the
army, was refused a visa on the
grounds he knew military
secrets.
Even after he is granted per-
mission to leave, the educated
Jew must often pay an expensive
"head tax" based on his amount
of education, Yanpolsky said
