The two areas he expressed most con- cern about were the lack of religious freedom and the lack of higher educa- tion in the Soviet Union. The journalist also met with Volga- German students following the lecture and compared differences between Volga -Germ a ns in the Soviet Union and descendants living in the Hays area.
