In the latter half of the 20th century, a number of dissidents
engaged in a series of campaigns against the Soviet authorities and
as a result were subjected to an array of cruel and violent
punishments. A collection of like-minded activists in Britain
campaigned on their behalf, and formed a variety of organizations
to publicise their plight. British Human Rights Organizations and
Soviet Dissent, 1965-1985 examines the efforts of these activists,
exploring how influential their activism was in shaping the wider
public awareness of Soviet human rights violations in the context
of the Cold War. Mark Hurst explores the British response to Soviet
human rights violation, drawing on extensive archival work and
interviews with key individuals from the period. This book examines
the network of human rights activists in Britain, and demonstrates
that in order to be fully understood, the Soviet dissident movement
needs to be considered in an international context.
