About this Event

Benjamin Nathans. “Soviet Dissidents: Victors or Losers?”


Pulitzer Prize–winning historian and author of To the Success of Our Hopeless Cause: The Many Lives of the Soviet Dissident Movement, Benjamin Nathans will give a lecture on how individuals and societies find their way out of totalitarian systems - and what role the dissident movement played in Soviet history. These were people who, in their own words, “began to act like free human beings in an unfree country.”


Lecture will be held in English

Бенджамин Натанс. Советские диссиденты: победители или проигравшие?

Пулицеровский лауреат, автор книги «За успех нашего безнадежного дела: множество жизней советского диссидентского движения», Бенджамин Натанс прочитает лекцию о том, как люди и общества находят выход из тоталитарных форм правления и какую роль в истории СССР сыграло диссидентское движение диссидентов, которые, по выражению одного из них, «в несвободной стране начали вести себя как свободные люди».

Лекция пройдет на английском языке
