who. as a general of the Army, re-
portedly was the highest ranking

Jewish military figure in the Soviet
Union, died Nov. 29 at age 64,
accordinr, to the Soviet Defense
Ministry.

The ministry did not indicate the
cause of Gen. Yakov G. Kreizer's
death. He served as a commander
on the Soviet's western front in•
World War II.
His promotion in 1962 coincided

with growing charges that the
Soviet Union was suppressing Jew-
ish religious and cultural life.
Nikita Khrushchev, then Soviet
premier, cited Gen. Kreizer's top
military ranking as proof that
Soviet Jews were not targets of
discrimination.

At the start of the Nazi inva-
sion of Russia in 1941. he was
one of the first military men to
become a Hero of the Soviet
Union. He received many other
decorations including five orders
of Lenin.

Rising through the ranks before
the start of World War II, he was
named commander of the First
Moscow Motorized Infantry and led
an effort to slow down the Nazi
blitzkrieg. He had been a deputy
