Sharansky, who spent nine years in Soviet prisons in the 1970s and 1980s, served as the Jewish Agency’s chairman from 2009 to 2018. In an interview with i24NEWS he said that in the last few months Russia passed a lot of oppressive laws that reminded him of the Soviet times.
“The only freedom that still is not touched (in Russia) is the freedom of immigration,” Sharansky stressed.
