WEDNESDAY , NOVEMBER 7.19«4 Nation/World Chicagoan struggles to leave &be Stoler's nine-year battle to leave the USSR continues Jack Redden Press International k> MOSCOW -- Stalin's daughter needed only an airplane ticket to return from the West, but for American citizen Abe Stoler it was just another day in his nine-year struggle to leave the Soviet Union. "They string you along with any kind of nonsense," Stoler, a Chicago native, said Saturday in t|e gloom of his three-room apart- ent in Moscow's drab southern awl. "They stop telling you _^»hy they're keeping you back." £v»Svetlana Alliluyeva did not need Western approval to end her :* celebrated 17-year defection to the West, but Stoler has an inch-thick lie of letters that he has written Soviet authorities seeking per- "It's just showing America in particular and the. world in general -- and all people in the Soviet Union, Jews in particular -- who is the boss and who's gotthe power," said Stoler, 72. The appeals have been in vain. In 1975, he got as close as Moscow's airport, onl> to be turn­ ed back at the last moment with the explanation that his family's exit visas had been issued by mistake. Authorities told him his wife, Giat Rozovsky, would not be allowed to leave for another two years -- she had worked in a chemical industry job that he says was last sensitive in World War II. She is still waiting and Stoller and his son Michael, 25, are not allowed to leave without her because Soviet officials say they will not permit the family's separation. j Now Stoler and his family are in a diplomatic limbo -- their Soviet citizenship was lost when they received their useless exit visas in 1975. His wife's Israeli citizenship and the U.S. passports he and his son hold have not gotten them out of Moscow. The disillusionment for Stoler, a former translator at state-run Moscow Radio, was a long time in coming. "Like most people, I was com­ fortably off," Stoler said. "But then I got fed up with the lies. There were lies all around me." He and his wife left their jobs, shipped all their belongings to Israel and headed out to the inter­ national airport to start a new life/ They are still trying to leave.
