Belenkin B. "Memorial". Otnjatyj dom

Author Belenkin B.
Title "Memorial". Otnjatyj dom
Description Boris Belenkin is a historian, a librarian, and a long-serving member of Memorial, the civic association that joined human rights work with the memory of Soviet repression. This book centres on his own life. Through his story, the reader also begins to see the world around him, where memory became a matter of personal responsibility. His path led him to Memorial and bound him to it for many years. The book includes comic episodes and painful turns. It also carries a strong sense of the era, when work on the past became harder and more dangerous. One moment stands out in particular: the Nobel Peace Prize reached Memorial at the very time when the organisation faced state pressure, and Belenkin himself was standing in court. What unfolds here is the story of a private life deeply tied to public memory and moral endurance.
