The collection aims to provide a valuable introduction to the diverse forms of Ukrainian opposition to the communist regime for Western and non-Ukrainian readers, utilizing essential primary sources. The reader is immersed in a vibrant tapestry of texts that speak for themselves, unfolding stories of ideas and personal endeavors. The anthology encompasses a diverse range of contributions from various genres. These include poetry, public speeches, and samvydav—uncensored, self-published—texts, as well as court speeches. The contributions originate from dissidents who faced imprisonment in jails, specialized psychiatric hospitals (for refusing to adhere to the official ideology), and prison camps. Furthermore, they include self-reflections by dissidents on their personal experiences of challenging the totalitarian system. This rich diversity of contributions paints a multifaceted portrait of the Ukrainian dissident movement, showcasing a generation of prominent Ukrainian public and cultural figures who, in various ways, steadfastly advocated for their freedom of speech and made history by daring to challenge the official ideology and culture. Compiled by Oleksii Sinchenko, Dmytro Stus, and Leonid Finberg, this remarkable book delves into the struggle for freedom and has undergone scholarly review by Myroslav Marynovych.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 534g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 x 215 x 22 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783838215518\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oleksii Sinchenko,Dmytro Stus,Leonid Finberg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44097334477050,"sku":"9783838215518","price":25.82,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646149652754_book.jpg?v=1646911166","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/ukrainian-dissidents-an-anthology-of-texts-9783838215518","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
