A Look Back Inside A Soviet Courtroom

I purchased a cheap paperback from a local second hand book store on a whim and I was pleasantly surprised. Though may seem a bit passe given the collapse of the reigning Communist regime, the transcription of the 3 day trial of 8 protesters of the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia is truly absorbing. Old style Soviet justice is apparent from beginning to end as we truly see how the deck was stacked against these people. Those working in the legal profession, predominately attorney's will find the saga gripping and full of despair. A very well articulated book, the author, not on trial herself as she was declared legally insane amazingly got ahold of these transcripts and were subsequently submitted to the West. Should have been translated into a play or movie. Does anyone know if author Gorbanevskaya is alive today and if so where living? This book is a must own, a historical, under-rated sleeper.
