The tragic division on the question of Palestine in Jewish families in Soviet Russia was demonstrated in the case of Gregory Zinovieff, leader of the Third International, and his sister, who is a devoted Zionist.
According to reports received here. Zinovieff caused his sister to be sentenced to exile from the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics for participating in the Zionist activities. He himself signed the order to deport her to Palestine. Her husband Wilensky. who is already a farmer in Nahalal, proceeded to Berlin to bring his wife to Palestine.
