Moscow (JTA) — The
plight of long-term Jewish
refuseniks may be resolved
in the near future, according
to reports emanating from
an international human
rights conference here.
According to official
sources at the conference,
which is being held under
the auspices of the Con-
ference on Security and Co-
operation in Europe, the
Soviets have agreed to set up
a five-member commission
of experts to review the cases
of Jews who have been
refused permission to
emigrate for more than five
years.
Soviet Jewish activist
Roman Gefter reportedly
has been asked to serve on
the commission.
News of the Soviet decision
was reported by Shoshana
Cardin, chairman of the Na-
tional Conference on Soviet
Jewry and a public member
of the U.S. delegation to the
CSCE meeting. She said she
had learned of the develop-
ment from sources in the
various delegations to the
conference.
If the reports are correct,
they would be an indication
that the Soviet government
now wants to resolve the
issue of Jewish emigration
once and for all.

The Soviet legislature
passed an emigration reform
law in May. But Soviet Jew-
ish advocacy groups in the
West expressed concern that
the bill contained a number
of loopholes that would allow
Soviet authorities to con-
tinue denying emigration
visas to Jews for such ar-
bitrary reasons as access to
state secrets or financial

responsibility to "poor
relatives."
More than 200 Soviet Jew-
ish families have been de-
nied permission to emigrate,
according to recent esti-
mates. But the number of
long-term cases is con-
siderably smaller. Even the
200 figure is tiny compared
with the 11,000 refusenik
cases that existed in the mid-
1980s.
Ms. Cardin said that while
Western delegates to the
CSCE meeting have been
pressing the Soviet govern-
ment to resolve the long-
term cases prior to the con-
ference's end on Oct. 4,
Soviet officials say it is
unlikely that case reviews
can be completed by that
date.
She also expressed concern
about reports that the Soviet
government claims that
there are only 10 unresolved
long-term cases. Soviet
Jewry activists say the
number of remaining long-
term cases is higher.
"We will ask the Soviet
authorities to check very
carefully whether the roster
of long-term refuseniks is
complete," Ms. Cardin said.
But she stressed that the
National Conference is
"gratified at this indication
of the potential resolution of
these cases, a step which
likely has been made possi-
ble by the failure of the
August coup attempt" in
Moscow.
"We believe that positive
action on these cases is fur-
ther evidence of the Soviet
intention to comply with
their human rights obliga-
tions as defined in the
Helsinki Final Act," she
said.

Jewish Choir
Sings At Bolshoi

Moscow (JTA) — Soviet
citizens got a rare opportuni-
ty to sample chazzanut, or
Jewish cantorial singing,
during a 40th day com-
memoration ceremony for
the three young Russians
killed fighting off Soviet
tanks during the failed coup
of Aug. 19 to 21.
The JDC-Moscow Syn-
agogue Choir, an all-male
chorus founded by the
American Jewish Joint
Distribution Committee,
wore kipot as they sang a
prayer from the Yom Kippur
service for the three mar-

tyrs, one of whom, Ilya
Krichevsky, was Jewish.
A seven-branch
candelabra burned on the
stage of the Bolshoi Theater,
whose 2,000 seats were all
filled, according to Ralph
Goldman, honorary vice
president of the JDC.

Soviet President Mikhail
Gorbachev and Russian re-
public Vice President Ivan
Silayev were in attendance
but did not speak at the
ceremony, which was a
somber, all-musical event. It
was televised nationally.
