Leningrad activist Feliks Aronovich received permission to emigrate, the Greater New York Conference on Soviet Jewry reported. Aronovich has been separated for over three years from his wife and child, whom he has never seen. Aronovich’s release is one in a list of sudden reversals in the Soviet handling of Jewish activists and the Prisoners of Conscience. He first applied to emigrate in 1972 but was refused permission on the grounds of access to state secrets.
