From the mid-1970's on I was viewed disfavorably by the government of the USSR due to my opinions, personal friends and family background. This limited the amount and kind of work I was able to obtain. And now I need financial aid for departure from Russia and first time residing abroad. An article about me appeared in the "Daily-Telegraph" newspaper on October 29, 1990.
