Soviet-born in what is now Ukraine, Yuli Edelstein became a refusenik, protesting the Soviet Union`s persecution of Jews. He emigrated to Israel in 1987, a few months before this photo was taken in Jersualem on January 21, 1988. Edelstein rose through politics and in 2013 became Speaker of the Knesset Israeli Parliament, as a member of the Likud Party. He has served as a government minister, including Absorption, and is known for hard-line, hawkish right-wing positions.
