Yar is the only main character besides Troi to wear the "skant" version of the Starfleet uniform, in the very last scene of "Encounter at Farpoint." Yar is behind the tactical console, but the skant is visible if you look for it.

 BABI YAR By Yevgeni Yevtushenko
Growing up in Russia, I experienced antisemitism; personally directed, ubiquitous, and violent, covertly approved of by the government.

Overt antisemitism slowly decreased, and many Russians to whom this had been normal and accepted practice, woke up to a new realization.
