Hardcover. xix, [5], 415, [1] p. 23 cm. Translation of Moi pokazaniia. Anatoly Tikhonovich Marchenko ( 23 January 1938, Barabinsk 8 December 1986, Chistopol) was a Soviet dissident, author, and human rights campaigner. He became one of the first two recipients (along with Nelson Mandela) of the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought of the European Parliament when it was awarded to him posthumously in 1988. He became radicalized, and later turned to writing and politics, as a result of several periods of incarceration, starting in 1958; during his time in the labour camps and prisons he had studied, and began to associate with dissidents. He first became widely known through his book My Testimony, an autobiographical account of his then-recent sentence in Soviet labour camps and prison, which he decided to write after his arrival in Moscow in late 1966 after his second term of incarceration. It caused a sensation when it was released in the West in 1969, after limited circulation inside the Soviet Union as samizdat. Very good in good dust jacket. DJ has some wear and soiling.
