"All tills has become possible bettuse of you." In a brief, 12-minuteaddMss, the recently released former Soviet Jewish Prisoner of Conscience said, "The solidarity of toe people behind bars in the Soviet Union can be expressed only in q>irit. But ytou, the people in the free world, can do much taoie." The 38-year-old mathematician who now lives in Israel added that the Soviet la^ership "who delude themashws into thinking they csn keep as prisonsis 400/)00 of our brothers, must understand that thay will never be able to destroy our solidarity."
