Bribery Alleged in Soviet Jew Sentencing

NEW YORK (JTA) — Dr.
Yaakov Kandinov of Tash-
kent has been sentenced to
eight years of harsh labor
for alleged "bribery," the
Student Struggle for Soviet
Jewry (SSSJ) and Union of
Councils for Soviet Jews
(UCSJ) reported. The trial
took place last month.
Dr. Kandinov, a dentist,
was arrested last
November, eight days be,
fore his scheduled depar-
ture for Israel.
Meanwhile, Nobel Peace
Prize winner Dr. Andrei
Sakharov has been
threatened with punish-
ment "under the full stric-
ture of Soviet law" in retali-
ation for leading a march in
Moscow March 12 in which
Jewish activists de-
monstrated against the
Kremlin's encouragement
of the Palestine Liberation
Organization which led to
the terrorist carnage in Is-
rael March 11.
Meanwhile, the trial
against Soviet Jewish ac-
tivist Pavel Abramovich
has been postponed until
April 29, according to in-
formation received by
the National Conference
on Soviet Jewry.
In Toronto, the Canadian
Committee for Soviet Jewry
reported that activist losif
Begun, who returned to
Moscow after a year's exile
in eastern Siberia, has been
threatened with re-arrest
and possible further impris-
onment.
In a related development,
Ilya Glazer, a famous brain
surgeon who spent six years
in Soviet prisons and in
exile in Siberia after apply-
ing for an emigration per-
mit, arrived in Israel last
week with his wife and
daughter. He was greeted at
Ben-Gurion Ariport by his
mother who came to Israel
several years ago.
Vladimir Drot, of Vilnius,
and his family, have been
granted exit visas, six years
after they had first applied.
In New York it was
learned that an official
document presented to
the Presisium of the Sup-
reme Soviet claims that
Soviet Jews are a "fifth
column" who remain "to
undermine us from
within," according to the
SSSJ and UCSJ.
The document is written
by Soviet Academy of Sci-
ences researcher Valery
Emelyanov, a well-known
anti-Semitic lecturer, the
two groups said.
Zionist penetration of the
Soviet Union is so complete,
Emelyanov claims, that
snowflake decorations in
Soviet shop windows have a
Star of David outline, as do
loudspeaker grilles in the
Moscow subway and
crossword puzzles in news-
papers. In the U.S., Zionists
control 90 percent of the
economy and 99 percent of
the media, he said..
Emelyanov proposes a
vast anti-Zionist front and a
mass educational camp to
expose Zionism which "is
racism aimed at every 'goy'
on earth."

In a related develop-
ment, the Soviet Union
has attacked American
Jewish publishers for
exhibiting books of
Jewish interest in Mos-
cow —though the Jewish
exhibit in 1977 and
another scheduled for
1979 were at the invita-
tion of Soviet authorities.
The attack is answered in
"The Moscow Book Fair
Revisited," an article by
Jacob Steinberg that will
appear in the May-June
number of Freedom at Is-
sue.
Steinberg is president of
the Association of Jewish
Book Publishers and

headed its four-person dele-
gation to the First Moscow
International Book Fair in
1977.
In New York, hours prior
to the opening of the 1978
leadership conference of the
NCSJ, in Washington, D.C.,
more than 1,000 children
from the Greater
Washington area, will
march in a "Freedom Pro-
cession", marking the end of
Solidarity Day, April 9, and
the opening of a three-day
series of meetings with de-
legates from across the U.S.
Eugene Gold, chairman of
the NCSJ, announced that
the 1978 recipients of the
Solidarity Awards, which

were first established four
years ago, to recognize those
community leaders, elected
officials and religious lead-
ers for their outstanding
contributions to the strug-
gle for Soviet Jews to live
and leave as Jews will be
announced.
A special posthumous
presentation will be made
in honor of the late Sen.
Hubert H. Humphrey.
Other awards will be pre-
sented to Glenn Watts, pres-
ident of the Communica-
tions Workers of America;
Jacqueline K. Levine of
New Jersey; and Soviet
Jewish activist Anatoly
