Description
“And the Wind Returns…” is the autobiography of the well-known Soviet dissident, human-rights activist, and writer Vladimir Bukovsky. At its center is the phenomenon of punitive psychiatry—a method used by Soviet authorities to suppress dissenters. Bukovsky spent 12 years in prisons and special psychiatric hospitals, and was the first to publicly describe this brutal system. The author reflects on justice, human dignity, and the cost of human freedom, sharing memories of the time when the struggle for freedom of thought turned into personal tragedy. Bukovsky’s autobiography is a living testimony of history, written by a man who challenged his jailers and managed to survive them.
