  Guardian Unlimited | Obituaries | Alexander Ginzburg
Alexander Ginzburg, who has died aged 65, is a nostalgic figure of modern times, part of the western myth of the Russia of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, when literature, the word, played a crucial part in political change.
Ginzburg's arrest in January 1967 was followed, a year later, by a five-year sentence, during which he succeeded in having his marriage to Irina Zholkovskaya registered in the camp guardroom in 1969.
Ginzburg and his comrades in dissident circles were confused by many in the west with their counterparts there - political activists who attempted to reform the rigid conservatism of capitalist society by the radical, frequently illegal, means available to them.

Ginzburg is, of course, closer to the former strategy: that of metaliterary conceptualism-But she is not alien to the latter: a "poorly written biography" and "insufficiently condensed experience" naturally result in "inadequate" prose.

 The Gulag: Life Inside by Brad Bauer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The Alexander Ginzburg papers, recently acquired by the Hoover Archives, provide fascinating glimpses of life among Soviet dissidents during the 1960s and 1970s.
Items that appear fairly mundane on first glance, such as a page of grocery receipts, represent a small part of the records maintained by the Ginzburgs as they administered what came to be called the “Solzhenitsyn Fund.” Worn identification documents with photos of a young Ginzburg document his release from prison in 1962 and 1972.
Later in the 1970s, after being released from prison, Ginzburg was unable to find a job owing to his dissident activities; at the same time he was accused by the government of being a “parasite” because of his unemployment.

Before he was able to complete his call, however, Ginzburg was seized by several secret policemen and hauled away to a prison in the city of Kaluga, 90 miles southwest of Moscow.

 The Case of the Lithuanian Helsinki Group Leader Viktoras Petkus - V. Stanley Vardys
In 1978, the court in Vilnius sentenced Balys Gajauskas, connected with Alexander Ginzburg, a Russian dissident writer, and with Solzhenitzyn's foundation for aid to political prisoners.
Until then virtually unknown though prominent in dissident circles, Petkus was associated with the Catholic dissident movement and with the Lithuanian Helsinki group which monitored Moscow's compliance with the civil rights provisions of the Helsinki agreement of 1976.
Whatever the formal charges, Petkus actually was punished for monitoring the government's internationally pledged implementation of civil rights, for seeking to establish permanent contacts with Baltic dissidents, and for organizing young people into reading circles for the study of religious beliefs and of national Lithuanian history.
