In a related develop- ment, Jews emigrating from the Soviet Union continued to be just a trickle during the last six months while repression of activists and discrimi- nation of Jews continued to increase in the USSR, according to a State De- partment report. "The repression of Jewish activists have paralleled the repression of other dis- senters," it was noted in the 13th semi-annual report by the president of the Com- mission on Security and Cooperation in Europe on the implementation of the Helsinki Final Act. The report, which covers the period from June 1 to November 30, was submit- ted by Secretary of State George Shultz to Rep. Dante Fascell (D-Fla.) chairman of the commission. It noted that emigration figures for Jews, ethnic Germans and Armenians, the three groups that have been allowed to emigrate have dropped sharply. "Only 2,207 Jews were allowed to emigrate in the first nine months of 1982," the report said. "If projected to the_ end of the year, this would result in the emigra- tion of less than 3,000 Jews in 1982, compared to 51, 300 in 1979, when emigration from the USSR reached its zenith." The report added that "there are reports from a number of areas in the USSR that local offices of visas and registration (OVIR) officials have been telling prospective emigrants that 'Jewish emigration is coming to an end.' Many Soviet Jews attribute this de- cline to the deterioration of East-West relations in the past several years and to Soviet fears of a Jewish 'brain-drain.' "Soviet Jewish sources estimate that there still are more than 300,000 Soviet Jews who possess the letters of invitation from Israel necessary for application to emigrate." In addition, the report noted that "the authorities have treated Western tourists who met with dissi- dents, religious believers or refusniks with unusually heavy-handed crudeness and have denied visas to others whom they have sus- pected of intending to do so." The report also noted the plight of Anatoly Shcharansky, who is being force fed because he went on a hunger strike in prison to protest the refusal to allow him visitors and mail. Jewish activist Aleksandr Paritsky recanted on televi- sion because he was threatened with an exten- sion of his term until 1990 despite his heart condition, the report charged. Meanwhile, the trial of refusnik activists Feliks Kochubievsky began last week in a court in Novosibirsk, it was re- ported by the National Conference on Soviet Jewry. The 52-year-old electrical engineer, who was arrested Sept. 12, has'been charged with "circulation of fabrica- tions known to be false which - defame the Soviet state and social system." He faces a penalty of up to three years imprisonment. Kochubievsky of Novosibirsk, has been the target of KGB harassment since he and his wife Valen- tina applied for visas to Isarel in 1978. He was denied permission to join his two sons there on grounds of "regime consid- erations." His subsequent efforts to re-establish a "USSR-Israel Friendship, Society" exacerbated his al- ready strained situation. He was denounced by the Soviet authorities as a "counter-revolutionary," although at one time he had been awarded the Soviet Order of Merit for Patriotic Work and had earned his Kandidat of Technical Sciences de- gree. In another development, the National Conference reported that Ida Milgrom, the mother of prisoner of conscience Anatoly Shcharansky, has been hos- pitalized in Moscow as a re- sult of extreme emotional stress. It also was learned that former prisoner of con- science Ida Nudel, who was refused her right to return to her home in Moscow upon completion of her sentence of Siberian banishment and had wandered from city to city, has finally received permission to settle near Kishinev, the capital of the Moldavian republic, accord- ing to the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry (SSSJ) and Union of Councils for Soviet Jews (UCSJ). The two groups also re- ported that two hunger strikers have ended their fasts, each after 40 days, but without receiving exit visas. They are Moscow re- fusnik International Grand Master Boris Gulko, the Soviet Union's former national chess champion, and Kharkov activist Yuri Tar- nopolsky. Gulko's chess colleague and former Moscow champion, Dr. Anatoly Volovich, con- tinues his hunger strike for emigration. Meanwhile, Jewish cul- tural activist Boris Cher- nobilsky has been permit- ted to return to his home in Moscow after completing a one-year prison term. . In New York, Charlotte Jacobson, chairman of the Soviet Jewry Research Bureau of the National Con- ference on Soviet Jewry, re- ported that only 137 Israeli visas were issued to Jews in November.
