Yuri Aronovich, who was recently fired as conductor of the Moscow radio-television orchestra after applying for migration to Israel, has been attacked in the street and injured by two “hooligans” who expressed anti-Semitic remarks to him, Jewish sources in the Soviet Union reported Tuesday. It was another in a series of harassments Aronovich has suffered since applying for a visa, the sources said. The police reportedly were unable to locate the assailants in the latest incidents.
