The initial publication in Russia in 1996 was paid for by Aleksander Solzhenitsyn. This book was originally written in the 1990s, but major Western publishers refused to release it unless Bukovsky removed accusations against prominent Americans, which he refused to do. The first full English edition was published only in 2019, despite the book being an international bestseller in nine languages. This English translation has an introduction by Edward Lucas and an afterword by David Satter. Judgment in Moscow is Vladimir Bukovsky's explosive, document-based exposé of Soviet crimes and the extensive political, cultural, and diplomatic complicity of Western elites. Drawing on thousands of classified Communist Party documents he secretly scanned from Soviet archives in the early 1990s, Bukovsky reconstructs how the USSR manipulated foreign governments, intellectuals, media figures, and peace movements while suppressing dissent at home. "Vladimir Bukovsky uses the Kremlin's own documents to show how the Soviet Union provided a false face to the world and how Soviet leaders used Western leaders as dupes or willing actors. Judgment in Moscow provides the written Nuremberg trial the Soviets never got when the USSR fell." -Anne Applebaum, author of Gulag: A History (Pulitzer Prize). Vladimir Konstantinovich Bukovsky (Russian: ; 30 December 1942 - 27 October 2019) was a Soviet and Russian human rights activist and writer. From the late 1950s to the mid-1970s, he was a prominent figure in the Soviet dissident movement, well known at home and abroad. He spent a total of twelve years in the psychiatric prison-hospitals, labor camps, and prisons of the Soviet Union during Brezhnev's rule. After being expelled from the Soviet Union in late 1976, Bukovsky remained in vocal opposition to the Soviet system and the shortcomings of its successor regimes in Russia. An activist, a writer, and a neurophysiologist, he is celebrated for his part in the campaign to expose and halt the political abuse of psychiatry in the Soviet Union. A member of the international advisory council of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, a director of the Gratitude Fund (set up in 1998 to commemorate and support former dissidents), and a member of the International Council of the New York City-based Human Rights Foundation, Bukovsky was a Senior Fellow of the Cato Institute in Washington, D.C. In 2001, Vladimir Bukovsky received the Truman-Reagan Medal of Freedom, awarded annually since 1993 by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation. The fate of Bukovsky and other political prisoners in the Soviet Union had been repeatedly brought to world attention by Western diplomats and human rights groups such as the relatively new Amnesty International formed in 1961. In December 1976, Bukovsky was deported from the USSR and exchanged at Zürich airport by the Soviet government for the imprisoned general secretary of the Communist Party of Chile, Luis Corvalán. In his 1978 autobiography Bukovsky describes how he was brought to Switzerland in handcuffs. The widely publicized exchange increased public awareness in the West about Soviet dissidents. In March 1977, US President Carter met with Bukovsky at the White House. In the USSR the meeting was seen by dissidents and rights activists as a sign of the president's willingness to stress human rights in his foreign policy; the event provoked harsh criticism by Soviet leaders. Bukovsky's Judgment in Moscow, called "stunning" by Richard Pipes and "a massive and major contribution" by Robert Conquest, has been published for the first time in English. Margaret Thatcher gave a grant to support the writing of the book, and the initial publication in Russia was paid for by Aleksander Solzhenitsyn. The book has an introduction by Edward Lucas and an afterword by David Satter. Wojtek Duszenko (Author photograph) (illustrator).…
