Kutchuk Gets
10-Year Term
Yichil Kutchuk, a Soviet
Jew who was tried this past
week by a Soviet court as a
black marketeer, received a
10-year sentence, according
to a telegram sent to Cantor
Shabtai Ackerman of Cong.
Beth Abraham-Hillel.
Cantor Ackerman, who is a
relative of the Kutchuk fam-
ily, received the telegram
from Kutchuk's son, Gidon of
Israel, Oct. 10 which read:
"Father received 10 years. I
ask you for help."
The cantor enlisted the aid
of Congressman Willi a m
Broomfield who reported in
the Congressional Record that
Kutchuk was being held on
the - false charge after KGB
investigation allegedly found
a bankbook and parts of a tex-
tile machine in his baggage.
When asked to see the
"evidence" Kutchuk was told
it was "none of his business."
He also was denied the op-
portunity to defend himself
at the trial.
Kutchuk and his wife have
made several attempts to
emigrate to Israel.'
200 Hear Russian Emigre
Speak at Soviet Jewry Rally
A Russian emigre working
as a visiting professor of
mathematics at the Univer-
sity of Michigan this year
says his personal experience
shows that Soviet authorities
are swayed by world opinion.
"Continue your noble ac-
tivity," Dr. Boris Koernblum
told the audience of 200 at
the Sunday rally for Soviet
Jewry at the 10 Mile -Jewish
Center. "You may not be
able to see the fruits of your
personal efforts, but you
must continue them."
Dr. Koernblum spoke with
Dr. Herbert Paper, U-M pro-
fessor of linguistics, who
said, "All of us are here, and
not there, but for mere acci-
dents of history."
He urged the audience to
remember how . they would
feel if they were in Russia
trying to leave. "Your sup-
port is essential," he said.
Sponsored by the Jewish
Community Council, the rally
was part of nation-wide Sim-
hat Torah protests over the
past two weeks in support
of Soviet Jews wishing to
leave Russia.
Dr. Koernblum related his
experience in trying to emi-
grate. A mathematician at
an engineering college in
Kiev, he was invited to Is-
rael by "relatives" last year,
but did not see the invitation
until weeks after it was open-
ed by Russian scret police.
He said he believed that he
was eventually allowed to
emigrate because of pres-
sure brought on Soviet au-
thorities by British Jewish
organizations with which he
corresponded.
He said Russian Jews had
hoped that the 1917 revolution
would end the centuries-long
oppression of the czars, but
conditions remained the same
in Russia, and Jews were not
equal citizens. "Only the
death of Stalin saved Russian
Jews after World War II,"
Dr. Koernblum said.
Dr. Paper said, "What is
happening today is tanta-
mount to a cultural and his-
torical miracle." He said
Jews have not been allowed
to pragtice their religion in
Russia since the 1917 revolu-
tion, but the youth are re-
membering their cultural and
religious identity.
He described -the emigra-
tion of Soviet Jews as a "slap
in the face" to Russian au-
thorities, who demand the
potential emigre to have an
invitation from Israeli rela-
tives, and a document from
his employer before he can
apply for a visa.
Dr. Paper said many em-
ployers then bring up the
worker's request to emigrate
at general meetings where
the worker can be fired or
demoted by vote of his fellow
workers.
Dr. Paper said profession-
als are told they can not
leave Russia because they
have access to defense sec-
rets. He said that Soviets
used this excuse against a
professor of ancient Chinese.
Applicants for emigration
are subject to firing or demo-
tion in their jobs, and abuse
of their families, who may
also be fired or thrown out of
schools, he said.
Dr. Paper spoke for sev-
eral minutes in Yiddish at
the concluusion of his talk,
and urged the audinece to
write to their congressmen
and key senators.
