A landmark work of Cold War political documentation, Uncensored Russia presents the annotated text of the unofficial Moscow journal A Chronicle of Current Events (Nos. 1–11), a samizdat publication that served as the clandestine voice of Soviet dissent. Edited, introduced, and translated by Peter Reddaway, the book chronicles the human rights movement within the Soviet Union, capturing firsthand accounts of persecution, censorship, and resistance against the authoritarian state. With a foreword by Julius Telesin, the volume instructs readers on the mechanics and courage behind underground publishing in the USSR, offering an unfiltered window into a society determined to suppress its own citizens. Authoritative and deeply researched, it remains an essential primary source for understanding Soviet repression and the moral courage of those who defied it.
