We concluded that Grigorenko was not mentally ill when we examined him, and had probably not been mentally ill when his Soviet examiners had said he was.
If Grigorenko and Bukovsky had really suffered from the illnesses that had been diagnosed in the Soviet Union, at least some signs of those illnesses should have been recognizable even after a long period of time and a change in their social surroundings.

In his prison diary, Grigorenko recounted his time at Serbsky.
As for the dissidents, her view is eerily similar to the logic described by Grigorenko.
