I love him as myself, and no
one can see a fault in him-

THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Last Leningrad Defendant Allowed to Leave Russia

ernment was Bronfman's
relationship with the Rus-
sian envoy. Mendelevich
was greeted at the Vienna
airport by Dr. Gerhard
Reigner, political director of
the WJC, Israel Singer, and
the Israeli ambassador to
Austria Elissar Ben-
Yaakov.
According to the Geneva
office of the WJC, when
Mendelevich left the USSR
he was told to ask for Singer
and when he reached Vie-
nna, Singer was apparently
involved by Bronfman in
the negotiations for Men-
delevich's release.
Mendelevich was one of
10 persons charged at the
Leningrad trial with being
the ringleaders of a plot to

Two others, Edward
Kuzenetzov and Mark
Dymshits, were sentenced
to death, later commuted to
15-years imprisonment.
They were released in 1979
in a prisoner exchange that
also included imprisoned
Soviet Jewish dissident
Aleksander Ginsberg. Their
release was in exchange for
two Soviet spies serving
50-year sentences in the
U.S.
Mendelevich had been
sentenced to 15 years,
later reduced on appeal
to 12. Singer told report-
ers that he considered the
release as a sign that the
Soviets want to improve
relations with the United
States, especially since it
was a unilateral gesture
and no prisoner ex-
change was involved.
Other Jewish sources
indicated that Men-
delevich's release was "not
an isolated case" and that
the release of other Soviet
dissidents had been dis-
cussed.
During his imprison-
ment, Mendelevich became
known as "The Rabbi of the
Labor Camps" because of
his strict adherence to Or-
thodox religious practices.
For that reason and because
he gave Hebrew lessons to
other Jewish inmates, he
was allegedly singled out
for especially harsh treat-
ment by camp authorities.
Mendelevich's family in
Israel had not had direct
contact with him for several

years. Because of his
hunger strike to protest the
denial of religious artifacts
and other maltreatment,
they were particularly con-
cerned for his health.
Recently, his sister,
Rivka Dori, a resident of
Gush Etzion, received a
disturbing message from
friends in Moscow who
said that their inquiries
into the condition of
Mendelevich, who was
transferred to the Perm
36 Prison Labor Camp in
the Urals a year ago, had
elicited a reply from the
camp commandant that
the prisoner was no
longer there.
His apparent disappear-
ance gave rise to fear that
he was seriously ill and
transferred to a hospital or
that he may have died.
Premier Menahem Begin of
Israel, who met with Dori in
Jerusalem on Monday, told
her that Ambassador Dob-
rynin had promised over the
weekend that he would
make inquiries as to Men-
delevich's whereabouts.
On Sunday, after Begin
raised the question of Men-
delevich's disappearance at
the weekly Israel Cabinet
meeting, the Cabinet de-
cided that Israel would
mount a world-wide public
opinion campaign to ascer-
tain his whereabouts and
obtain his release. It is not
known whether Begin or his
government were aware of
Bronfman's negotiations
Rockets Hit
Paris Embassy
PARIS (JTA) — Two roc-
kets were fired early Mon-
day at the South Yemen
embassy in Paris by a group
claiming to represent "the
victims of the Rue Copernic
Synagogue" blast which kil-
led four people and wounded
over 20 last October. The
rockets, which police said
seemed to have been placed
by experts, caused serious
damage to the building but
no casualties.
, An inscription found on
the wall of a courtyard from
which the rockets were fired
said "Remember Copernic."
Pamphlets found on the site
also indicated that the at-
tackers were seeking to re-
venge the October bombing.
An anonymous caller told
a French news agency,
"This attack was committed
in the name of the Rue
Copernic victims."
At the time of the
Copernic synagogue
blast police believed the
attack was carried out by
anti-Semitic elements.
Later, it was assumed
that Arab extremists,
presumably Libyan in-
spired, set the bomb.
South Yemen, a Marxist
country, has been described
as providing training
facilities for European and
Palestinian terrorists.
with Dobrynin.
Meanwhile, the National
Conference on Soviet Jewry
reported that Viktor
Brailovsky's medical condi-
tion has improved. He is
now receiving the appropri-
ate medication and dietary
supplement needed for the
treatment of his illness
which the NCSJ said was a
liver condition.
Brailovsky was not
transferred to Lefortovo
Prison, as the NCSJ re-
ported last week, but re-
mains in Moscow's
Butyrka Prison where he
has been since his arrest
last November;
In Madrid, Carol Bel-
lamy, New York City's
Council president, said that
she and other New York
women are forming an
organization on behalf of
Ida Nudel, the Soviet
Jewish activist who has
been in exile in Siberia
since 1978 after she chal-
lenged the Soviet
authorities to give her an
exit visa to Israel.
Meanwhile, Hannah
Elinson, a 64-yvr-old re-
tired engineer and a foun-
der of the Moscow Women's
Group of refuseniks, has
been given permission,
along with her husband
Saul Gorelik, to rejoin their
two sons in Israel. The
couple have been denied
exit for five years. The in-
formation was obtained by
phone from Moscow by the
Long Island Committee for
Soviet Jewry.
The Student Struggle for
Soviet Jewry and Union of
Councils for Soviet Jews say
activists in the USSR are
reporting a vastly increased
number of Jews both re-
fused exit visas and waiting
for over a year for answers
to their emigration applica-
tions.
The activists said they
knew of 20,000 such Jews
in Moscow alone, 10,000
in Leningrad, 7,000 in
Kiev, nearly 4,000- in
Odessa and 3,000 in
Kharkov.
Fifty-two Moscow Jewish
refusniks have writter
President Reagan expi
ing their "great joy" on the
release of the 52 American
hostages from Iran and, in
reference to their own
plight asked if "right has
also triumphed."
