In 1970s New York City, Jewish militants targeted Soviet officials in a series of protests that escalated tensions between the Soviet Union and the Jewish diaspora. The harassment of these officials not only drew condemnation from Soviet authorities but also caused distress among Soviet Jews who were caught in the crossfire of international politics.
