1967. The trial of Bukovsky and his comrades
50 years ago, on August 30, 1967, a trial began in Moscow at Vladimir Bukovsky. He, together with Vadim Delon and Evgeny Kushev, was accused of organizing a demonstration of protest against the arrest of Alexander Ginzburg, Yuri Galanskov and their friends, held on January 22 of the same year on Pushkinskaya Square. Bukovsky refused to find himself guilty and made a sharp, revealing speech, which was widely spread in Samizdat.
