  Sobaka :: The Canvas is a Crime   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Galanskov didn't subscribe to the fashion for Trotsky and the rest of the old Left Opposition hunted down by Stalin's curs, whose ideas were experiencing a revival in student circles.
Galanskov had in his first letter from prison described a certain guard who nostalgically recalled the good old days when a prisoner with a temperature of 104 degrees would be handed a shovel and put to work.
Galanskov refused surgery for his ulcer and demanded to have the operation performed in a civilian or military hospital away from the labour camp.

In June, 1956, a revolt against Soviet influence in Poland was defeated by the Polish army, but the Poles managed to gain some concessions from Moscow; an uprising in Hungary in Oct., 1956, was crushed ruthlessly by Soviet troops.
In the technological race between the Soviet Union and the West (principally the United States), the USSR exploded (1953) a hydrogen bomb; announced (1957) the development of intercontinental ballistic missiles; orbited (1957) the first artificial earth satellite (called Sputnik); and in 1961 sent Yuri Gagarin in the first manned orbital flight.

Yuri N. Artsutanov (1929-) is an Russian engineer born in Leningrad.
He is known for being one of the pioneers of the idea of space elevator (type of skyhook).
Note that the ideas of the tower and the elevator differ since the tower is a compression structure, while the elevator is an orbiting tension structure, much easier to build and maintain.

 Neeka's Backlog
Yury Galanskov was a dissident poet who died in a Mordovian labor camp in 1972, at the age of 33 - I've never heard of him before, nor has anyone I know.
Galanskov's relatives and friends and also his camp-mates appealed repeatedly to the authorities, asking that he be given adequate medical care.
In the autumn of 1972, because of his worsening health, Galanskov was sent as a matter of routine to Dubrovlag hospital compound in the settlement of Barashevo.

Could start with that demonstration (was it at Pushkin Square?) in 1965 that demanded an OPEN trial for the fiction writers Daniel and Sinyavsky (who passed their short stories to the West ander assumed names and were arrested by KGB for that).
Yury Orlov was thrown into the prison for 7 years in 1978, a few months before Scharansky, on the charges of violation of chapter 70 (antisoviet agitation and propaganda), and "did his time" on all of them, "ot zvonka do zvonka".

It's no fault of Galanskov but I've come to understand that it's harder to live a long life and remain true to one's beliefs than it is to become a young martyr.
Unlike Galanskov, however, Ginzburg lived on, eventually dying in political exile in Paris at the age of 65.

This, too, becomes apparent from an analysis of the authors and signers of the various protests and petitions agamst the trial of Galanskov and Ginzurg.
I do not suggest, of course, that the entire "middle class" rose to the defense of the two "renegades" but that some representatives of that class have already come to realize clearly the need for the rule of law and have begun, at personal risk, to demand it from the regime.
In the course of one month, for instance, over 15 percent of all those who had signed petitions demanding observance of the law in connection with the trial of Galanskov and Ginzburg were dismissed from their jobs, and almost all those who were party members were expelled from the party.

In her writings and in her behaviour, Larisa gave the impression of being a free spirit, in a country that at that time decidedly was not.
When she and Pavel Litvinov, for example, protested against the imprisonment of the writers Yuri Galanskov and Alexander Ginzburg in 1968 as an assault on freedom of expression and violation of Soviet law, they addressed "World Public Opinion".
As this was one of the first appeals to international public opinion ever to have emerged from the Soviet Union, the boldness of the address gripped the foreign media.

They also spaced out the arrests of prominent dissidents, allowing many of them to continue their activities, declined to arrest Sakharov (although he was exiled) and allowed some dissidents to emigrate.

Another contemporary of Sinyavsky, and the one who did the most to publicize his Moscow trial, was the journalist and human rights activist Alexander Ginzburg.
Determined to document the Sinyavsky-Daniel trial, Ginzburg and fellow dissident Yuri Galanskov compiled and published the White Book, a detailed account of the trial.
Although the book was published in the West, Ginzburg sent copies to the KGB, the Central Committee of the Communist Party, and other arms of the government, which led to a five-year prison sentence (Ginzburg’s second).
