Being Sharansky: on Russia, Israel, 'Reaganite readings'...(Natan Sharansky)
THE other day, someone asked me how old Sharansky was, and I said, "Oh, about 55." (In fact, Sharansky is 57, born in January 1948, a few months before the modern Israel.) My friend was surprised that Sharansky was so young. The ex-Soviet dissident, now a key Israeli, has been famous and important for a long time. He was only 25 when he applied for his exit visa, and not long after that he became the face of the "refuseniks."
In his astoundingly great memoir, Fear No Evil--published in 1988--he recounts the day of his release, when he was delivered into the hands of the American ambassador to West Germany, Richard Burt.
