Soviet chess player Elena Akhmilovskaya and U.S. chess player John Donaldson came to live in Seattle after they were married Nov. 25, 1988. But Elena's seven-year-old daughter, Dana, had to remain behind in the Soviet Union. Elena told the Washington State Law and Justice Committee that she deeply misses her daughter, and that she and her husband have applied to Soviet authorities to allow Dana to come to the United States. A resolution asking that Dana be allowed to come to the USA was introduced into the State Senate.
