Synopsis "The Universe Behind Barbed Wire: Memoirs of a Ukrainian Soviet Dissident: 26 (Rochester Studies in East and Central Europe, 26)"
This memoir by a prominent Ukrainian dissident, now in English translation, offers a unique account that spans the entire postwar period, from the author's childhood in newly Soviet western Ukraine and coming of age within the Communist system to the collapse of the Soviet Union, concluding with his reflections on culpability and justice in the post-Soviet context. Marynovych's description of the varied landscape of Ukrainian dissent in the 1960s and 1970s focuses on the emerging human rights movement, especially the creation of the Ukrainian Helsinki Group, of which he was a founding member. He vividly recounts his encounters with the Soviet repressive apparatus, including his arrest and trial, and offers a rich picture of daily life in a Siberian prison camp and his internal exile in Kazakhstan.Imbued with the author's deep Christian convictions, this memoir sheds light on the key role faith played for some participants in the Soviet human rights movement, a movement that has most often been seen as having a secular inflection. It also provides a fresh look at the complex place of Ukrainian dissidents within the broader Soviet human rights movement, as well as the interplay between human rights advocates and other dissident groups in Soviet Ukraine.Table of ContentsIntroductionEstablishing the Fundamentals of FateFinally in KyivThe Era of the Helsinki MovementArrest, Investigation, and TrialThe Labor Camp Up CloseIn the Vise of the Strict RegimeThe Pinnacle of the StruggleWhen the Soul Snagged on Barbed WireAmong the KazakhsConclusion
