Soviet Jeivish Family Finds New Home in Flint
Arab Ads in Flint Journal Found to Be
Deliberate Distortions, Misquotes
Inna, David and Gennacli
Shaposhnikov have been in
Flint for two weeks.
Their English is halting,
but they are determined 'to
learn.
David said it took strength
to face the hardships of leav_
ing their homeland; it's with

the Shaposhnikovs face a
new life in Flint.
A writer and director of
television films, David ex-
plained why he left Russia:
"Not:' being able to do (in
work) what I wanted to do
was bad, but having to do
only what they (the Soviet
government) wanted me to
do was worse." He spoke of
getting high grades on an
entrance examination for a
cinematography school in
Russia, but being refused
admittance because he was
a Jew. He learned his trade
by hard work and after
many hours of study.
The Shaposhnikovs applied
for exit papers when the edu-
cation tax was in force, but
it was an impossibility for
them to raise the necessary
funds. They credit pressure
from the American people
for the relaxation of the tax,
which made possible their
exit some months later.
After applying• for visas
for the second time, it took
four months before they were
allowed to leave. Two of
these months were spent by
the Soviet government in ex-
amining every story and
movie frame that David was
involved in producing. David
lost his job after applying
for a visa, and the family
lived on what they had saved.
Today, they live in a mod-
ern, well-kept apartment, but
with few possessions. Asked
about the friendship of the
people of Flint, Inna replied:
"People have been so friend-
ly, so helpful, we never knew
such friendships."
David thanked the Jewish
community of Flint, adding:
