Search, arrest, prison - this was the fate of many dissenters until recently. Some went to special zones, to political camps, others were pushed into cells with criminals "for re-education."

How was their fate? The author, sociologist, journalist, candidate of philosophical sciences - political commissar of the 80s reflects on this on his own experience.
