- Share via
Twelve more former Soviet citizens who emigrated to the United States returned to the Soviet Union, saying they could not adapt to the American way of life, Tass news agency reported. Tass quoted one returnee from New York, Olga Gross, a mother of three who went to the United States seven years ago, as saying she has great respect for America but that its way of life did not suit her. Her musician husband, Anatoly, said family members lived well materially but yearned for their homeland. Since last fall, the Soviet Union has allowed a number of emigres to return, apparently as part of a campaign to turn the tables on the West on human rights issues.
