PARIS — A Soviet man has been reunited after seven years with his wife and daughter, who had been refused exit visas to join him in Paris.
Eugene Soloviev, who works at the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization headquarters in Paris, lost touch with his wife, Lydia, and daughter, Natalie, now 20, when he applied to the French for political asylum in 1981.
The two women, who had been refused visas, were finally allowed to leave Friday night, after President Francois Mitterrand took up their case with Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev.
