Mr. [Anatoly T. Marchenko] was one of the best known Soviet political dissidents, who spent 20 years in prison, labor camp or exile on a variety of offenses. His book, ''My Testimony,'' describing his experiences while serving a six-year sentence in labor camps during the 1960's, was published in the United States by E. P. Dutton in 1970.

Soon after she arrived in a penal colony in Mordovia in late 2012, Nadezhda (Nadya) Tolokonnikova, the leader of the protest punk group Pussy Riot, asked for a copy of Anatoly Marchenko's \"My Testimony,\" an exhaustive accounting of the life of Soviet political prisoners. Marchenko spent 15 of his 48 years in Soviet prisons, including a number in Mordovlag (an acronym for Mordovian camps), the part of the gulag where Tolokonnikova was serving her two-year sentence. Marchenko went on his last hunger strike in August 1986. He was demanding that the Soviet leader, Mikhail S. Gorbachev, make good on his talk of reforms by releasing political prisoners. Many dissidents thought the request was unrealistic, if not unreasonable. After five weeks Marchenko was hospitalized and subjected to force-feeding, which he described as torture: The procedure was not only imposed but also performed, he claimed, in a way that intentionally caused him physical harm. After 117 days, Marchenko gave up his hunger strike. Twelve days later, he fell ill and died. Less than a week after that, Gorbachev began the process of releasing all political prisoners.

When Ms. [BOGORAZ] returned to Moscow in 1972 she continued campaigning for human rights. She was one of the signatories of the \"Moscow Statement\" that protested the deportation of Alexander Solzhenytsin and that demanded publication of his Gulag Archipelago and other materials exposing Soviet brutality.

LARISA Bogoraz was an early architect of the Soviet dissident movement who rose to prominence for a protest in Red Square against the invasion of Czechoslovakia. Their trial signalled the beginning of a long crackdown on dissent under Leonid Brezhnev, a grim contrast to the comparative thaw of Nikita Khrushchev's rule. But the trial and their subsequent sentence to labour camp terms galvanised Ms Bogoraz and a small coterie of others. She was one of the signatories of the \"Moscow statement\" that protested against the deportation of Alexander Solzhenytsin and that demanded publication of his book Gulag Archipelago and other materials exposing Soviet brutality.
