This is a review of the first Russian-language summary of the dissident movement in Eastern Europe and its role in the final collapse of the totalitarian system. The study covers eight countries of the region: Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, East Germany, Poland, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia in the period from 1956 to 1989. Accordingly, the entire work is divided into eight essays. Each essay provides a brief historical overview and list of references, a chronicle of events, which reflects the facts related to the dissident movement. Finally, biographical articles about significant figures in the dissident movement in each of the countries mentioned are listed in alphabetical order. The definition of the term “dissident” remains debatable. The compilers of the Encyclopedia interpret it broadly. On the whole, the work fills in a noticeable gap that existed in historiography.
