And the wind returns...

"And the wind returns..." is the autobiography of the famous Soviet dissident, human rights activist, and writer Vladimir Bukovsky. At the center of his narrative is the phenomenon of punitive psychiatry, a method used by the Soviet authorities to suppress... dissent. Bukovsky spent 12 years in prisons and special hospitals and was the first to publicly speak about this brutal system.
In the book, he reflects on justice, dignity, and the cost of human freedom, sharing memories of a time when the struggle for freedom of thought turned into personal tragedy.
Bukovsky's text is a living testament to history, written by a man who challenged his jailers and survived them.
...a knowledgeable inmate does not judge a prison by its facade or its general cell; he judges it by the punishment cell. So too, it is more accurate to judge a country by its prisons than by its achievements.
