Roy and Zhores Medvedev, two identical twins with a unique fate,
not only lived through a whole century of history, from Stalin to
Putin, they wrote and made history. Their research on Stalinism,
the first to come out of the Soviet Union in the 1960s-1970s,
turned them into famous dissidents overnight, but their criticism
of the regime always remained loyal to Soviet power. The story of
their lives provides a snapshot into the history of Soviet dissent,
from psychiatric hospitalization to forced exile, and from KGB
interrogations to collaboration with Western news correspondents.
Yet their trajectory was also marred by controversy with fellow
dissidents, and in the post-Soviet era active support of
authoritarian rulers, including Vladimir Putin.Â
