Jewish youths demonstrating in front of the Soviet Trade Mission here during Passover, offered matzoth and wine to persons entering the building to attend a Lenin Centenary reception. They fixed posters to the railing quoting Lenin against anti-Semitism. Another poster said, “Marx would have been a second class citizen in Russia today.” The youths were protesting policies that repress Jewish cultural and religious life in the Soviet Union.
