[continued]

‘Dissidence as a public phenomenon crystallised around the trial in 1966 of Sinyarsky* and his friend Yuli Daniel for “slandering the Soviet State” in fictions smuggled abroad and published there.... With the invasion of Czechoslovakia,**, dissidence turned to civil disobedience, and at the same time to sending signed letters of protest to the authorities – invitations to a dialogue that were met with swift repression.... By 1983,*** imprisonment and forced emigration had destroyed the movement; three years after that,**** “glasnost” had become government policy.
