Inna Kitrosskaya left Moscow on a one-year visa to undergo cancer treatment in the United States, leaving behind her husband, Naum Meiman, a human rights activist who has struggled in vain for almost 12 years to emigrate. Kitrosskaya, 54, arrived in Vienna during a stopover en route to Washington for treatment at the Georgetown University Medical Center. Soviet physicians have operated on her four times but have been unable to halt the growth of a cancer on the back of her neck, which threatens her spinal cord. Meiman, 75, was a founding member of a group to monitor Soviet compliance with the 1975 Helsinki accords on human rights.
