and there are more. from personal experience, number of non-O
organizations providing help inside USSR in the 70-80-s was not
large. there were individuals who might have been associated
with non-O movement, but they usually did work thru some non-
religious channels. (Israeli O- had harder time, as it was
almost impossible to come with an Israeli passport, thus majority
of Israelis were people with dual citizenship. Reform did not
have this obstacle).
