Where Is
Dancer
Panov?
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Close
friends of the Russian Jewish
ballet dancer Valery Panov
have expressed concern over his
whereabouts. Efforts made from
Israel to call him by phone
have failed.
Friends surmise he may have
gone into hiding with his wife,
Galina Rogozina, also a dancer.
Panov was dismissed from the
Kirov State Dance Theater in
Leningrad after he applied for
an exit visa to Israel several
months ago.
In New York, in an unusual
bid to enable Valery Panov to
leave the Soviet Union, Israeli
concert pianist David Bar-Illan
offered to raise the necessary
funds to reimburse the USSR
if it “feels its investment in
Panov’s training is too great to
forfeit.”
The pianist made his offer in
a cable transmitted via the
American Jewish Congress to
Communist Party Secretary
Leonid I. Brezhnev. Responding
to a report that Panov felt “he
could not indefinitely sustain
himself physically and mental
ly,” Bar-Illan wrote. “As a per
forming musician I find it im
possible to understand how the
Soviet government, which has
nurtured some of the greatest
performing artists of our time,
can now devote its energies to
the destruction of Valery Panov,
whose only crime is his desire
to join his relatives in Israel.
“Performing artists were the
first to act, through cultural
exchange, for better under
standing between our countries,
but no understanding can be
achieved without mutual trust.
It is difficult to put faith in
your government’s intention as
long as Panov’s plight belies
your declaration that any Jew
who wants to be reunited with
his family can do so.”
Bar-Illan, a resident of New
York, asserted: “If the Soviet
government feels that its invest
ment in Panov's training is too
great to forfeit, my colleagues
in the arts and I shall be only
too willing to raise the necess
ary funds to reimburse you,
although we are convinced that
Panov’s artistic contribution to
the USSR has more than com
pensated for whatever the Sov
iet government has invested in
him.”
