Vying for global supremacy, the Soviet regime was invested heavily in the outcome of the June 1967 War.

Watch video highlights of Sharansky's lecture as he traces this dramatic shift in the social attitude, political atmosphere and vast Jewish emigration following the Six Day War which ultimately led to the Soviet Union's demise.
