and had made its views
known to the Soviets.
- An hour-long nation-
wide TV broadcast from
Moscow on Jan,22, called
"Traders of Souls," de-
picted Soviet Jewish ac-
tivists and refusniks as
"soldiers of Zionism in-
side the Soviet Union,"
OP and accuses them of being
part of a "Western based
' anti-Soviet conspiracy."
The National Con-
ference pn Soviet Jewry
(NCSJ) learned at the
which
"documentary that
dealt heavily with the
emigration of Soviet Jews
to Israel, took the unpre-
cedented step of naming
several activists and
claimed that they were
involved in "subversive -
IP
activities.
The broadcast depicted
Western writers, actors
and Nobel Prize
laureates who have in the
past appealed to the
Soviet authorities on be-
half of Soviet Jews, as
dupes of Zionist prop-
aganda. At the same
time, American and
British organizations
helping Soviet Jewry
were stigmatized as
agents of Jewish finance.
Long-term refusenik
Vladimir Slepak said that
this broadcast has incited
anti-Semitism among av-
erage Russians. "Zion-
ism," Slepak pointed out,
"is being used as 'cos-
mopolitanism' was used
during the Stalin purge
period in the early 1950s."
Activist Anatoly
Sharansky said, "There is
always anti-Semitism
among people in this
country and as a Jew you
learn to sense it, but "now
at a higher level than
mal. Everyone in
buses and subways are
discussipg these films
and similar articles. It
smells of a pogrom."
The film is only one arm
of the media recently

thorities. The latest issue

It seems that in prepara-
tion for the Belgrade con-
ference in June, 1977 on
the fulfillment of the Hel-
sinke accords, the USSR
has prepared "an attack as
its best defense," said
Soviet Jewish scientist
and refusenik Benjamin
Levich who has been wait-
ing for an exit visa since
1973.
Meanwhile, in a phone
conversation with the
Soviet Union's Pro-
curator General's office
in Moscow, Martin Gar-
bus, New York civil liber-
ties attorney and rep-
resentative of Sakharov
in recent discussions with
the State Department,
last week offered to lead a
group of American
lawyers to observe the
upcoming appeal of
Soviet Jew Amner
Zavurov.
"Zavurov was sen-
tenced on Jan. 13 to three
years in prison for being
without an internal
passport, being without a
job and for disorderly
conduct," Garbus ex-
plained.
"Obviously, as he had
been given- permission to
emigrate in October,
1975,, his internal
passport had been taken
away by Soviet au-
thorities. Through
bureaucratic misman-
agement, the Soviets
never issued a new visa
and tried to force Zavurov
fo accept his internal
documents. The Soviet
authorities are guilty of
unwarranted harass-
ment as well as abuse of
Soviet law."
Alvin K. Hellerstein of
the National Lawyers
Committee for Soviet
Jewry pointed out that the
current situation for
Soviet Jews is severe. "A
trial against Soviet Jewish
activist Daum Salansky of
Vilnius, for alledgedly
having in his possession
materials which 'defame
the character' of the
USSR, is being prepared
by local Lithuanian offi-
cials."
