Now Mr. Gorbachev must
"use whatever respect he
commands as a statesman in
retirement to advocate
respect for human rights" in
the former Soviet Union, the
Student Struggle said in a
statement.
Leonid Stonov, a refusenik
for 11 years who now works
for Chicago Action for Soviet
Jewry, welcomed Mr. Gor-
bachev's resignation as
marking "the end of the
Soviet empire," which was,
he said, impossible and
undesirable to save.
He pointed out that among
the Soviet Union's
treacheries were state-
sponsored acts of violence
against Jews, most recently
in the Central Asian towns
of Andizhan and Sumgait.
"Gorbachev, the politician,
of course did a lot. He really
facilitated the end of the
system," Mr. Stonov said
approvingly. Myrna Shin-
baum, former director the
National Conference on
Soviet Jewry, remembered
Mr. Gorbachev as "a man
who came into power at a
time when Jews were still in
prison. And for a few years,
nothing happened."
Ms. Shinbaum re-
membered that "in terms of
the Jewish community, the
movement began after the
first summit meeting with
President Reagan" in
Geneva in November 1985.
Mr. Gorbachev then
understood that Soviet Jew-
ish emigration "was a
priority issue for the Ameri-
can president and the
American people. He
understood it wasn't just a
Jewish issue," she said.
The current chairman of
the National Conference,
Shoshana Cardin, recalled
that Mr. Gorbachev had per-
sonally met with her in the
Kremlin in October, to
discuss remaining refusenik
cases and other matters of
importance to Soviet Jews.
She expressed "my pro-
found gratitude" for that
meeting and "for his polit-
ical courage in subsequently
having his personal
emissary read a strong
statement condemning all
manifestations of anti-
Semitism at the ceremonies
in Kiev" commemorating
the World War II massacre
at Babi Yar.
"Gorbachev will be re-
membered as the man who
attempted to lead the
transformation of the Soviet
empire from one
characterized by dictator-
ship and tyranny to one
governed by the will of the
people and the rule of law,"
said Ms. Cardin.
