Moroz to Visit University Next Week, Says He Will Accept Research Position
Valentyn Moroz, one of five Soviet dissidents exchanged last week for two convicted spies, will visit Harvard next Tuesday to discuss the University's offer of a post in the Ukrainian Research Institute.
Although Moroz has not yet officially accepted the offer, he said this week he would accept a position as senior research fellow at the Institute.
"Instead of letting us wait in suspense, he's going to visit us and discuss his plans--he's already made up his mind to accept the offer," Stephan Chemych, head of the Ukrainian Studies Fund, Inc., which would sponsor the post, said yesterday.
Omeljan Pritsak, Hrushevs'kyi Professor of Ukrainian History and director of the Institute, was more cautious, saying the visit would allow Moroz to meet President Bok and members of the Institute, and "smell our atmosphere."
"I don't want to force any decision on him," Pritsak added.
