Summary/Abstract: The Volvox Globator publishing house together with the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes have published memoirs of Vladimir Bukovsky (* 1942), in which he describes his experience as a dissident in the Soviet regime in the 1960s and 1970s, including his stays in camps and psychiatric clinics.
