Churches help Russian families adjust to U.S.
By Stacy Smith Kansan staff writer
Alex Plotkhnik and his family left the Soviet Union four months ago with the clothes they were wearing and a few personal belongings in a suitcase.
Today, they are Russians living the American dream.
After years of persecution in the Soviet Union for their Christian beliefs, the Plotnikoffs have found happiness and freedom in Lawrence through the help of local churches.
"You didn't have this type of freedom in the Soviet Union." Alex Pilotnik said through an
Benson Jude, Kansas City satellite director of Lutheran Immigration and Refugees Services, said five Soviet families had settled since July with the help of several local churches in Lewiston, N.J., and the organization has worked for the organization to line up sponsors for the families before they arrive in the United States.
interpreter. "Here, you are free."
"We're really dependent upon finding support in the community." Jude said. "I have found people who are so willing to give of their time. It doesn't cost that much to get the families going."
The Mustard Seed Fellowship, 256 N. Michigan St., has sponsored four families, and the Free Methodist Church, 802 W. 22nd St. Terrace, has

sponsored the Platinikoff family, the latest group to arrive in Lawrence.
Jude said the churches helped find the families jobs, homes and cars while also teaching them basic living skills to function in U.S. society. Most of the families cannot speak English and therefore, also must be enrolled in language classes.

system and would mean a loss of interest income for the county, she said.
County commissioners think efforts by legislators to find solutions for the shock of reassessment would be premature at tomorrow's special legislative session.
After reviewing options legislators might be able to enact, county commissioners said they were stumped.
County commissioners last night approved a resolution calling for legislators to extend until Jan. 16 the deadline for tax payments and to wait until next year to consider tax relief proposals
Story idea? 864-4810
"A lot of people want a quick fix," said commissioner Nancy Hiebert. "There are just not any."
The proposals that have been suggested for alleviating the unexpected side-effects of reassessment would cause serious problems for the county, said county treasurer Nancy Hempen.
One suggestion, quarterly tax payments, would require reprogramming the county. computer
Another proposal to reopen the review process would mean the county would not be able to begin the 1990 review process as planned, said county administrator Chris McKenzie.
Reopening the review process would require additional staff or overtime, both of which would cost more money and could lead to further tax increases next year, Hiebert said.
