BACKGROUND 1 The population of the fifteen independent states of the FSU totals over 282 million people, of whom 1.5 million are Jews. This constitutes the third largest aggregation of Jews after Israel and the United States. Although many Jews left for Israel and the West in the decades since the 1970s, the population has now stabilized and includes Jews returning to the region for personal, community, or business reasons. The recent passage of the New START treaty between the US and Russia highlights the region’s continued geopolitical importance. Russia and the other countries of the FSU play a particularly strategic role for the United States concerning Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan. The FSU is also critical for Europe, whose energy needs depend on natural gas and oil produced in the FSU. The Soviet state’s systematic destruction of Jewish communal life and institutions, and its persecution of Jewish activists, left communities without resources after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Many communities still struggle. Although FSU governments have ceased overt support for anti-Semitism, its popular expression remains woven into the fabric of daily language and life. As extremism and ultra- nationalism increase, the threat of violent anti-Semitism may reemerge. NCSJ has taken an active role in the region since 1971. NCSJ’s historical roots in the rebirth of Jewish consciousness at the end of the Soviet era and its central role in the growth of new, post-Soviet Jewish institutions make it a respected leader in all aspects of Jewish communal life, Jewish relationships with the states of the FSU, and relations between the FSU and the US. NCSJ’s efficient and multilingual staff works in conjunction with volunteer lay leaders from national agencies, Federations across the country, and representatives from Jewish organizations in the fifteen independent states of the FSU to support international, domestic, and educational programs. NCSJ and its partners maintain close personal relationships with key government officials in the FSU, Israel, and the US. NCSJ sponsors missions to the FSU region and maintains networks of personal communication 1.through Armenia, the Azerbaijan, Board of Belarus, Governors, Estonia, whose Georgia, members Kazakhstan, represent Kyrgyz a wideRepublic, array Latvia, of Jewish Lithuania, organizations Moldova, Russian from theFederation, US and the Tajikistan, FSU region.

This year he also became Chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. When did you become interested in Soviet Jewry? I was always fascinated with the history and culture of Russian Jews. My own family roots were in the Lithuania-Poland region of the Soviet Union. Most of my family had migrated to the US in the early part of the 20th century and had settled in Louisiana. My father was a well-respected attorney and senior partner of a leading law firm. My mother was a leader in the National Council of Jewish Women.The Jews of Silence The plight of Russian Jews under Communism was a contemporary tragedy. The efforts to stamp out the religious identity and practice of the world’s third largest Jewish community demanded my attention. I was inspired by Elie Wiesel’s book, . After I finished law school in the 1960s, I came to Washington and worked in the Office of the Solicitor General. During these years Nathan Lewin, a friend and colleague, and I formed the Jewish Center for Policy Studies to lobby Congress for passage of the Jackson-Vanik amendment. In 1972 we successfully lobbied both the Democratic and Republican parties to include the right of Soviet Jews to emigrate in theirHow party did you platforms, become and a part in 1973, of NCSJ? during the Yom Kippur War, I was in Siberia meeting Jewish activists who were applying to leave the USSR for Israel. I knew about NCSJ since it was formed in 1971. When I moved to New York, I met Mark Levin through my activities with the New York Jewish Community Relations Council and the Conference of Presidents. I became Chair of the public affairs arm of the Orthodox Union and an active member of the NCSJ coalitionWhy do youabout think ten years NCSJ ago. is important? I was elected to NCSJ’s Board of Governors and Executive Committee about five years ago. NCSJ is the leading organization in the US focused on advocacy on behalf of Jewish community life in the former Soviet Union. It has ties with Jewish organizations created during the post-Soviet decades, many of which it was instrumental in assisting. It also has a history of facilitating resolutions in difficult situations within the community and between the community and the government. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that NCSJ plays a vital role in the continuing well-being and NCSJ Annual Report for 2010 growth of Jewish communal life in the former Soviet Union. Its name is trusted, its commitment valued.3 Although there is no state-sponsored anti-Semitism, the threat of its resurgence is omnipresent and the insidious informal presence of anti-Semitism is still a part of everyday culture. A US-based umbrella organization with approximately fifty national agencies and three hundred local US Jewish group members is well-positioned to be influential. NCSJ continues to advance the interests of Israel in the countries of the former Soviet Union. During these years when threats to Israel’s legitimacy as a independent state have proliferated, NCSJ’s advocacy on behalf of closer ties among the countries of the former Soviet Union, the“There US, and Israel is absolutely has a special importance. Our usefulness is manifestly evident in such situations as no doubt in my last year, when NCSJ actively and successfully advocated for Ukraine to oppose the Goldstone Report to the UN. mind that NCSJ The unique experience of NCSJ has become a valued asset for the Jews plays a vital role in of Russia and of the US. The organization’s cumulative knowledge is a repository for facilitating better business relationships, government the continuing well- relations, and a richer Jewish communal life. I am proud to be its Chair, being and growth of especially during this anniversary year. I also feel that chairmanship of NCSJ has been uniquely effective preparation for my chairmanship of Jewish communal the Presidents’ Conference, and I am proud to have the privilege, in common with Morris Abrams and Shoshana Cardin, of holding both of life in the former these important posts. Soviet Union.” 4 NCSJ Annual Report for 2010 From the President Dear Friends: This past year I was re-elected to my second term as President of NCSJ. It is an honor that I value highly. I have known NCSJ since I was a young refusenik in Moscow during the 1970s, when it was the symbol of American-Jewish support. During the past year I have represented NCSJ in discussions with community groups, at high-level international meetings, and with government officials in the FSU, the US, and Israel. Although happily settled in the US, given my Russian background I am especially interested in engaging Russian-speaking Jews in the work of NCSJ. On my business trips to Russia this past year I have had many opportunities to meet with Jewish leaders and community groups. These frequent meetings allow me to help strengthen the links between NCSJ and our Russian partners like the Russian Jewish Congress and the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress, and also to support more regional or local community-based groups and synagogues. As part of the NCSJ delegation to Baku, Azerbaijan, I visited a predominantly Muslim country that has a small Jewish community with deep historical roots. The delegation met with senior government officials and encouraged them to strengthen their already close ties with Israel. I also spoke in Israel at the Tenth Annual Herzliya Conference.

In one important respect. In America, unlike other lands, the Jew was present at the very beginning of things. An Asser Levy in New Amsterdam, a Mordecai Campanall in Rhode Island, an Adolph Sutro arriving in a covered wagon in San Francisco. The number involved is not important. It is important that the Jew was there. It is important that he must be counted as one of the melange of peoples who began the building of America. In Providence, 1854 marks a dual anniversary: Lhe centennial of the first Jewish congregation in Providence and the Tercentenary of Jews in the United States. We observe these events—in part, at least— in order to remind our neighbors of our early presence in this land; and to remind ourselves that religious concernments stimulated the first organized endeavor by Jews in this land—whether it was a syna- gogue, an all-clay school or a cemetery, the concernment was religious.

By using their own media forms, the dissidents •• were able to break the government's monopoly on information. More importantly, they •• used the media technologies to advocate for their two key, interconnected goals of •• glasnost, or openness, and the rule of law. The dissidents made two main arguments. •• First, that glasnost was integral to creating an equitable and fair justice system. Second, that speaking truth was legal and not something the government could prosecute. •• • Glasnost served as both a rallying cry and as a weapon. The dissidents called for openness, but also used their media outlets to expose events the government wished to ••• keep quiet. • In choosing the two mantras of legality and glasnost, the dissidents consciously put themselves in the shadow of previous groups of Russian reformers who had the same ••• demands. They placed themselves in a historical debate. The dissidents also sought to •• differentiate their version of glasnost, complete openness, from various government •• leaders' definitions of the term. •• This thesis seeks to explore the way dissident media outlets forced the dual goals •• of glasnost and respect for the rule of law. It will examine the causes and forms of dissident media, and their relationship to the idea of legality.

  • A CHRONICLE of C NT EVENTS Nr 54
    A CHRONICLE OF C NT EVENTS Nr 54 Journal of the Human Rights Movement in the USSR "Or Amnesty International Publications AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL is a worldwide movement which is independent of any government, political faction, ideology, economic interest or religious creed. It plays a specific role within the overall spectrum of human rights work. The activities of the organization focus strictly on prisoners: It seeks the release of men and women detained anywhere for their beliefs, colour, sex, ethnic origin, language or religion, provided they have neither used nor advocated violence. These are termed 'prisoners of conscience'. It advocates fair and early trials for all political prisoners and works on behalf of such persons detained without charge or without trial. It opposes the death penalty and torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment of all prisoners without reservation. AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL acts on the basis of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international instruments. Through practical work for prisoners within its mandate, Amnesty International participates in the wider promotion and protection of human rights in the civil, political, economic, social and cultural spheres. AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL has 2,000 adoption groups and national sections in 35 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North America and Latin America and individual members in a further 74 countries. Each adoption group works for at least two prisoners of conscience in countries other than its own. These countries are balanced geographically and politically to ensure impartiality. Information about prisoners and human rights violations emanates from Amnesty International's Research Department in London.

  • Eastern Europe
    Eastern Europe Soviet Union Domestic Affairs A WO EVENTS DOMINATED THE POLITICAL LANDSCAPE of the Soviet Union in 1980: the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the workers' revolt in Poland. In invading Afghanistan, a Moslem country coveted since Tsarist days by Russian nationalists, the Soviets went outside the borders of the Soviet Bloc. The Soviets underestimated the force of the Moslem spirit of independence and failed to take into account the consequences of imposing their will on a buffer state in which the West was greatly interested. The Western response to the Soviet move was immedi- ate and forceful, and signified the end of the policy of detente. As of this writing Afghanistan was in the throes of a war of resistance, with the Soviets, not unlike the United States in the war of Vietnam, gradually increasing their military force, now estimated at over 200,000. In Poland the Soviet Union confronted an extremely serious situation: the danger of an organized proletarian revolution overwhelmingly supported by all classes within society. The Polish workers, who were joined by the fanners and supported by the powerful Catholic church, stuck to their demands for social changes which in time could transform the geopolitical map of Eastern Europe and have a signifi- cant impact on the Soviet Union itself. Aleksei Kosygin, erstwhile partner with Leonid Brezhnev and Nikolai Podgorny in the collective leadership of the Soviet Union since the ouster of Nikita Krushchev in October 1964, died in Moscow on December 20, at the age of 76. Podgorny had been ousted by Brezhnev in 1977.
