To Choose Freedom: Soviet Dissidents and Their Supporters

Exhibition offers a glimpse into the era of repression that followed the "thaw" of the Khrushchev years and extended through the perestroika and glasnost era of the 1980s. "In opposition to the communist leaders were many ordinary people, both inside and outside the country, who made extraordinary efforts to speak up for human rights and freedom of expression," said Brad Bauer, associate archivist for collection development at the Hoover Institution Library and Archives. Branded dissidents by the Soviet government, their story has gone largely untold.
