Author was a Ukrainian lawyer, a founder of the Ukrainian Helsinki Group, and a long-term inmate of Russian prisons and concentration camps. He was arrested for intent to present the question concerning the secession of Ukraine from the Soviet Union in 1961. In this 40-page pamphlet he describes his ordeal after his arrest in 1961, which involved constant surveillance and tampering with his mail. He concludes by stating he would rather starve himself to death than "endure the total persecution, discrimination, cruel treatment, insult to my human dignity, and ideological and politcal terror, all resulting from absolute lawlessness and arbitrariness." - page 40.
