On the screens of domestic television, one can increasingly see the speeches of the authoritative Israeli politician Jacob Kedmi. He actively discusses with opponents on issues of foreign and domestic policy. Some time ago, this Israeli politician and statesman was responsible in his country for the repatriation of Jews.
From the biography of Jacob Kedmi
The future diplomat and statesman was born on March 5, 1947 in Moscow. Yakov Iosifovich Kedmi (real name - Kazakov) came from a family of engineers. He was the eldest of three children. After graduating from school, he went to the factory as an ordinary concrete worker-reinforcer. At the same time he studied at the Metropolitan University of Railways.
In February 1967, Jacob broke through a police cordon to the Israeli embassy in the capital of the USSR. Here he applied for immigration. However, the strange young man was denied: diplomats considered Jacob an agent of the KGB. Jacob received forms of documents for leaving Israel only during his second visit to the embassy.
In the summer of that year, a war broke out between Israel and several Middle Eastern states. The USSR severed relations with Israel. Then Jacob renounced the citizenship of the USSR. Subsequently, he publicly condemned the policy of anti-Semitism in the Soviet Union and refused to serve in the army of the Country of Soviets. Kazakov said that military service will only be in the Israeli army.
