Yuli relates however, that
although censorship still ex-
ists and continues to blend at
times with anti-Semitism, the
state censors have also
liberalized their practices in
recent years.
Boris Kagarlitsky wrote of
the 1988 Soviet reforms,
which led to the easing of of-
ficial anti-Semitism, in his
critically acclaimed book,
Farewell Perestroika
(available in an English ,
translation from Verso). In
1982, Boris was imprisoned
and charged with publicizing
anti-Soviet propaganda. He
was incarcerated for 13
months without standing
trial and was freed only after
Brezhnev's death.
Boris' determination to
change Soviet society was on-
ly strengthened by his ex-
periences as a prisoner. In
1988, he became the first
Soviet citizen to win a libel
suit against a Soviet
newspaper. Boris successfully
sued Pravda for falsely accus-
ing him of being disloyal to
the state. Boris profited little
financially from the case, but
feels that he helped to further
both governmental reforms
and free speech by winning
the decision.
Boris, who is now 32, is a
committed reformer and was
elected (as a non-communist)
to the Moscow Soviet (city
council) last spring.
Boris and Yuli are both anx-
ious about the turmoil that is
expected this winter. Moscow
is on the verge of famine, and
the Soviet Union is coming
apart. Yuli doesn't want to
emigrate, but he would like to
lecture abroad to escape the
worst of the coming crisis.
Boris is well known on the
lecture circuit in the States
and will be here during much
of the winter.
Boris and Yuli are commit-
ted to riding out the coming
hard times in Soviet society.
Why? They are Soviet in-
tellectuals. Russian is their
language, and they have both
contributed richly to its
literature.
I also sensed in both father
and son a bit of the original
Jewish liberal spirit that held
such bright hopes for the
Soviet Revolution. The
Kagarlitskys are very much a
remnant in this regard by
comparison with the majori-
ty of Soviet Jewry, which will
continue to flee the Soviet
Union.
Nevertheless, while Boris
and Yuli both fear they are on
the brink of disaster as Rus-
sian Jews, both are willing to
gamble on continued
reforms. ❑
