Pentecostalists Freed to Go to Israel from Soviet Union
A family of 15 Pentecostalists departed Moscow for Vienna on a flight to Israel, five years after five members sought refuge in the US. Among them are Pyotr Vashchenko, 55, his wife Augustina, 54, their 12 children and daughter-in-law Ludmilla, with Lubov Vashchenko, 30, sister to Pyotr, declaring religious persecution as motive. American diplomats said a deal with Soviet authorities allowed their emigration.
