Psychiatric Abuse In The Soviet Union
In 1962 Pyotr Grigorenko spoke out at a party conference in the Soviet Union against the exorbitant salaries of party officials and other abuses of power. As a result he was directed to attend a psychiatric examination at the notorious Serbski Institute where he was duly labelled schizophrenic. He later wrote that it was not till then that he realised that his country was engaging in the practice of declaring perfectly sane people mad as a tool of political repression.
