Ruth Aleksandrovich said yesterday in a telephone interview from Moscow that she expected to join her mother and other relatives in Israel by the end of this month. The 24-year-old Riga nurse was released from the Potma forced labor camp in Soviet Mordovia on Thursday after completing a one year sentence for alleged anti-Soviet activities. She was given an exit visa and is expected to leave for Israel with her fiance, Isaiah Averbuch; her father; and her uncle, Michael Aleksandrovich and his family, all of whom have visas. Miss Aleksandrovich spoke from her aunt’s apartment in Moscow where she was given a party to celebrate her release.
