    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on the life of Jews in the Soviet Union. There is no doubt that the Soviet Government discriminates against its Jews even though the precise rules of such discrimination are obviously considered top secret and even though intelligent, well-informed Jews in the Soviet Union have no specific knowledge, but only very vague ideas, about these rules. While the number of Jewish students being admitted to universities is obviously restricted and limited, the application of this measure varies from place to place and even from school to school. Meanwhile, the ban on Jewish culture continues.
