Sluggish schizophrenia in USSR | DISSIDENTS AND MADNESS

Description:

Can dissidence be cured? How long does the treatment last, and how do you know that a person is ill? The authors of the diagnosis "sluggish schizophrenia", the academics Snezhnevsky and Luntz, invented a tool that could be used to declare any person undesirable to the authorities insane. Using the example of the Ukrainian dissident Leonid Plyushch, witnesses and fighters against punitive psychiatry in the Soviet Union tell of psychiatric repression.
