In 1972, Natalya Gorbanevskaya was arrested for protesting against the detention of dissidents in Moscow’s Red Square. Featuring the work of this widely-recognized Russian poet and civil rights activist, this collection combines a folk-inspired modernism with a clear narrative. Of interest to Russian history buffs and academics of various fields, these poems blatantly reflect the author’s political engagement and argue against oppression.
