In memoriam of the great poet
11.12.2000
20 years ago, on 2 October 1980 a great Ukrainian poet Vasyl Stus was condemned to 10 years of concentration camps and 5 years of exile. 15 years ago, 5 September 1985 Stus tragically died in Perm special political colony No. 36. We publish today some materials from our archives: a fragment from Mikhail Heyfetz book ‘Mesto i vremia (‘Place and time)about Stus first term, the information about the trial of 1980, fragments from Andrey Sakharovs appeal in protection of Stus. All these materials are published in Ukraine for the first time.
