Fast ends
NZPA MoscowYuri Balovlenkov gave up his hunger strike yesterday on the thirty-sixth daj’ after emigration officials said he would not be allowed to leave the Soviet Union. His American wife, Elena Kuzmenko Balovlenkov, aged 29, who had arrived at Moscow last week from the United States, said that her husband had ended his fast after emigration authorities repeated that he would not be able to join her in the West. Mr Balovlenkov, aged 33. fasted for 43 days earlier this year to win the right to join his wife in America. He launched a second fast when he said that the authorities had reneged on a oral promise that he would receive permission to leave. Soviet officials deny they made any such promise.
