Biography I am Kedmi

St. Petersburg 2nd Krasnoarmeyskaya St. The initiator of the mass repatriation of Aliyah of Jews to the state of Israel in the late eighties and early nineties. The author of several books, including “Secret Springs”, published in the year. After retirement, he began to regularly act as an expert in Russian political shows. Joseph Yakovlevich was from Smolensk, Sofya Yakovlevna - a native Muscovite.

Both are engineering and technical workers: his father worked in the system of intercity railway transportation, and his mother worked as the head of the workshop at a knitted factory. Yasha was an older child in the family, later he had a brother and sister. He called his childhood “the usual childhood of a Jewish boy”, his youthful years were much more interesting and saturated.

Material support for the family left much to be desired, and at the end of the school, Jacob began working at the factory by a concrete-assembler, and he had to continue his studies in absentia at the Institute of Transport Engineers. The young man noted that his working earnings were much higher than the engineering salaries of his parents.

Once, an event occurred with Yash, after which life changed dramatically. And from that moment everything turned over in me. And a simple thought occurred to me: if there is such a Jewish country, then what am I doing here? Why am I not there? I found out where the Israeli embassy was located, and in February went up to him, looked at how and what, and made a plan, how to break into it.

I was in full conviction that no one would just allow me to enter the embassy. For Soviet man, it was a wild concept to come to a foreign embassy. The first “visit” of Kazakov to the embassy with ribbons past the guide policeman took place on February 19. He was wary by the employee Herzl Amikam: at that time, such visits were nonsense. The diplomat gave Yakov several books about Israel, explained that he needed to contact the OVIR and offered to come in a week.

The young man visited the embassy several times, and on June 11 of the same year, when the USSR broke out diplomatic relations with Israel, he made a statement about the abandonment of Soviet citizenship, which was then cited by a number of media. I was excluded at the general meeting and reported this at the place of work and study. When they reported to the institute, I just passed the exam on the first part of political economy.

They explained to me that I will no longer be able to hand over the second part of political economy. They said bluntly: "Either you will leave, or we will fill you with exams." The Soviet government cared very much that everything looked fair and cultural. Then I submitted documents to the Polytechnic Institute for the correspondence department. I was accepted, everything is fine.

I did not know that from that moment they could call me. Yakov simply ignored the summons from the military registration and enlistment office, and in May he wrote a statement about the abandonment of citizenship to the Supreme Soviet of the USSR and spoke negatively about the policy of anti -Semitism. He took a copy to the US Embassy. He still refused to serve in the army, citing the fact that after his statement he could undergo military service only in the Israeli army.

After long ups and downs, the young man received permission to emigrate to Israel. Within two weeks he completed the necessary formalities and left Moscow, as it seemed to him then forever. Studying at the Faculty of Scientific Chemistry in the Haifa Technion, the young man appeared at the military registration and enlistment office and joined the ranks of the Israeli defense army.

He held military service in the tank troops, then entered the tank school, went through the tank commanders, then moved to military intelligence at the direct instructions of its chief Arya Yariv. After that he was sent to the intelligence department of the headquarters of the tank forces. Yakov Kedmi in the army was demobilized in the year, Yakov began working in the security service of the Arquy airport, which was at the stage of formation.

He took part in the Judgment Day between Israel and Egypt along with the future Prime Minister of the country Ehud Barack. His task included collecting information in Vienna. In the year, Yakov changed the surname of the Cossacks to Kedmi, a more familiar ear of Israeli citizens, and began to work in a Vienna transit center. In some interviews, Kedmi stated that it was he who initiated the mass aliha of Jews directly to Israel, bypassing the United States.

As a result of this, more than a million new citizens arrived in the country. I did this up to a year, but in the year my conflict with Prime Minister Bibi Nataliaga worsened in the year. Actually, more than once I had conflicts, but always in cases where I considered myself right. I had conflicts with both Shabak and Mossad about their concepts related to work in Russia, in matters of Russian cooperation with Iran in the field of nuclear weapons and so on.

Kedmi resigned, having received a very solid pension according to him, almost general, and took up political analytics, wrote several books, began to give lectures to students. He became a regular guest of political talk shows not only in Israel, but also in Russia, most often speaking in the programs of Vladimir Solovyov, as well as the programs “Special folder”, “The right to know!He also often gave comments in radio broadcasts of Russian political scientist Yevgeny Satanovsky.

His friends, Greek students, told the young man that a girl from Russia, who has difficulties with the study of Hebrew, studies at the chemical faculty. Yakov volunteered to help her, and gradually they began a romantic relationship. In the year they got married, and in the year their firstborn Sharon was born. Kedmi came to the birth in officer uniforms. In the year, a revision daughter was born, and in the year another son appeared in the family.

The wedding of Jacob and Edith Kedmi Sharon first graduated from Jerusalem University, then Tel Avivsky with a second degree in economics and finance. He worked in the Globs economic publication, later at de Marker, then became a consultant on the problems of the Israeli Energy Economy under the Minister of Infrastructures. Married, the family has two sons. Kedmi admitted that he was "crazy grandfather." Yakov Kedmi with his wife and the first son, his daughter, after graduating from the Academy of Arts, Botsalel is engaged in design, became the owner of several international prizes for her work.

The youngest son received a second degree at the end of the interdisciplinary college in Herzlia in public administration and law. Yakov Kedmi is now speaking in the media about the events taking place in the world, including the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which began in February, Kedmi emphasized that Ukrainian territory became a bridgehead of the conflict between the Russian Federation and the United States.

In his interview, Kedmi gave detailed forecasts, talked about the world structure, changes that the whole world awaits in one case or another. Interesting facts Kedmi did not know Yiddish, only his father and his mother, Grandma Yakov, knew how to talk a little on him. At the age of nineteen, the young man first brought dad to the synagogue, and learned his tongue independently with the help of L.

Riklis’s textbook “Mori. My teacher. Self -instigator of the Jewish language. " His implacable text read: citizens of the deputies, I appeal to you again, and I will contact until my demand is satisfied, I refuse Soviet citizenship and I do not consider myself a citizen of the USSR since the submission of my first statement. I am a Jew, born a Jew and I want to live life, as a Jew I consider the state of Israel and, like any other Jew, I have an undeniable right to live in this state.

I do not want to be a citizen of the country where Jews are subjected to violent assimilation, where, under the pretext of combating Zionism, all cultural life of the Jewish people is eliminated. I do not want to be a citizen of the country pursuing the policy of the genocide in relation to the Jewish people. If the Nazis destroyed us physically, then you destroy the Jews as a nation.

I do not want to be a citizen of the country who armes and supports the unfinished fascists and Arab chauvinists, eager to erase Israel from the face of the earth and add another 2.5 million killed killed to 6 million dead. I refuse Soviet citizenship and demand to save me from humiliation - to be considered a citizen of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. I demand to provide me with the opportunity to leave the Soviet Union.

The Cossacks service in the Israeli army turned into a shelter for Jacob. During the exercises, his auditory nerves were interrupted due to explosions of shells, and he could not continue his career in the army: doctors forbade him to be at the shooting range, as this would lead to a complete loss of hearing. In the early nineties, Yakov met with the future President of Russia Vladimir Putin, who at that time headed the Committee on External Relations of the St.

Petersburg City Hall. It was with him that Kedmi resolved the issues of repatriation of Jewish-Leningraders to Israel. Important events in life year: for the first time visited the Israeli embassy. He joined the army of Israel.
