scholars and intellectuals, many of

The gathering was addressed by
Prof. Mikhail Zand, prominent
orientalist at Miscow's Institute of
Eastern Studies, who emigrated to
Israel with his family last year
after a prolonged struggle to ob-
tain an exit visa.
Zand, currently teaching at the
Hebrew University, maintained
that Jewish culture in the USSR
has no future and that in fact most
of it has already been destroyed
by the Soviet state.
Prof. Chone Shmerook, head of
the Hebrew University's Yiddish
department, took issue with
Zand's gloomy prognostication.
He said that what Zand was ad-
vocating was very grave be-
cause it gives up for lost mil-
lions of Russian Jews who will
remain in Russia.
"No one thinks of abandoning the
Jews in the West who are not emi-
grating, and for the same reason
Jews who remain in Russia should
not be the victims of discrimination
and their cultural life must be
protected and preserved," Prof.
Shmerook said.
