West Hollywood business that caters to Russian-speaking community changes its name after threats, harassment

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. -- Daniel Lerman has operated the passport and foreign travel business in West Hollywood called Russian Universal Services for 25 years.

"They think we are affiliated with Russian government, but this is not so," Lerman told ABC7."We just help Russian speaking people to file documents, to do various documentation stuff. We help Ukrainians. We help Jewish people. We help Russian people. When I came to this country, there was no separation. We all speak Russian. We all came from the Soviet Union."

"Targeting people and businesses in general because they speak Russian. I speak Russian. I also speak Ukrainian. So, I think it's unbelievable. It's terrible," said Diana Gustafson, a customer at Dokument USA.
