The Attack on Anatoly Koryagin
By Peter B. Reddaway
A detailed account of the 'physical torture' of Soviet political prisoners 'through starvation, cold, and deprivation of sleep' has just been smuggled to the West from a forced-labor camp in the Urals. Its author is the well-known Russian psychiatrist Dr. Anatoly Koryagin. In 1981 Dr. Koryagin was given a twelve-year sentence for documenting the Soviet practice of interning dissenters in mental hospitals and then 'curing' them there of their views with powerful drugs. His articles on the subject have been widely published in the world medical and lay press.
