1965. The arrest of Andrei Sinyavsky

50 years ago, on September 8, 1965, the KGB, deciphering the pseudonym of Abram Terz, arrested the writer and literary critic Andrei Sinyavsky. The examination of the texts was conducted by academician Viktor Vinogradov. Four days later, Julius Daniel, a friend of Sinyavsky, who printed his works under the pseudonym Nikolai Arzak, was arrested.

In February of the next year, a trial of writers took place, sentencing them, respectively, to the 7th and 5th years of maximum security camps. This was the first loud political process in the post -line time, and artistic texts appeared as a corpus delicti.
