Soviet Dissident Scientists, 1966-78: A Study.

Abstract

This study is an analysis of the Soviet dissident scientists of the 1960's and 1970's - who they are, what they have protested, and why they have protested. Over 550 names of scientists involved in dissident activities have been culled rom unofficial samizdat material available in the West and relevant biographical information on these scientists had been arranged in tabular form. On the basis of correlations found in this data conclusions have been reached on what has caused the scientists to turn to dissident activity. This study also includes a chronology of dissidence in the Soviet scientific community in the period 1966-78, an analysis of the groups within the dissident movement with which the dissident scientists have aligned themselves, and some predictions on the prospects of future dissidence among scientists.
