Chapter Chapter 2 in The Vexing Case of Igor Shafarevich, a Russian Political Thinker, 2012, pp 21-43 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Much of this chapter about Shafarevich’s life and experiences before the 1960s consists of excerpts from his interviews. His own words evidently provide the best keys to understanding his way of perceiving things. They also help to comprehend the motives behind Shafarevich’s decisions and statements to come. Since he has repeated many of the episodes and experiences recounted here in several interviews, it is reasonable to assume them to be his most powerful perceptions about Soviet society – those having shaped his most fundamental convictions.
