This was done with a lot of
care. I don't think there was
any distortion or lack of bal-
ance."
Wallace introduced the 60
Minutes piece by saying "If
Jews in the Soviet Union are
>, discriminated against as we
have been led to believe, if
- they are third-class citizens,
spied upon, despised, captives
in a land in which they no
longer want to live ... then
what did Mikhail Gorbachev
mean when he said in 1985,
`If there is any country where
Jews enjoy the sort of rights
>,=-- they enjoy in our country, I
would be happy to hear about
it.'
li
"We tried to explore Gor-
bachev's statement," Wallace
said. "Why would the leader
of a land say that? How can
there be such differing
>_
- views?"
Responded Strober of the
National Conference on
Soviet Jewry, "If he takes
any stock in that statement,
Mr. Wallace, despite his
journalistic background and
his life as a member of the
free world, must be one of the
most naive people in our
society. How many falsehoods
and half-truths have Soviet
leaders told us over the last
half century?"
N
The segment featured 11
Jews who are successful and
satisfied with their lives in
the Soviet Union. One Jew
that Wallace interviewed
named Samuel Zivs — an at-
torney who is deputy head of
the Soviet government-
sponsored Anti-Zionist Com-
mittee — tells the inter-
viewer, "You can't say there
is a problem with the ethnic
group called Jews. That
would be nonsense ... You
can find in every country a
person who would feel him-
self as a second or third class
person because he had not
that success he sought to
have. But it is up to him to
judge what class of person he
is."
A leading Soviet journalist,
Leonid Zolotarezeky, told
Wallace that he is a prime
example of the non-existence
of discrimination against
Jews in the Soviet Union.
"Trying to present (the
plight of Soviet Jewry) as the
major problem of the Soviet
Union ... sometimes it looks
like propaganda," Zolotar-
ezeky said.
Wallace then interviewed a
refusenik couple, Victor and
Irina Brailovski, with their
son Leonid. The Brailovskis
discussed their dealings with
discrimination and their de-
sire to emigrate to Israel. La-
_
/—'
ter, they scoffed at the notion
of resettling in Birobijan, the
Jewish autonomous region in
Siberia created 50 years ago
by the Soviets.
