    ACTORS IN A “CHEAP COMEDY”: DISSIDENTS IN SOVIET PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITALS, 1968-1974 Philip B. Kiffer A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Russian and East European Studies in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Donald J. Raleigh Chad Bryant Eren Tasar ©2015 Philip B. Kiffer ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Philip B. Kiffer: Actors in a “Cheap Comedy”: Dissidents in Soviet Psychiatric Institutions, 1968-1974 (Under the direction of Donald J. Raleigh) This paper examines the Soviet government's hospitalization of political dissidents diagnosed with mental disorders between 1968 and 1974. Relying primarily on memoir accounts produced by the victims of Soviet punitive psychiatry, the purpose of this paper is to explicate the purpose, function, and effectiveness of the Soviet program of committing dissidents to psychiatric institutions. It concludes that this program served primarily to control behavior, rather than suppress ideas or counter-ideologies, embarrassing to the Soviet government. Furthermore, it suggest that in many cases committing dissidents to mental hospitals served the state as a means of negotiating with dissidents and reaching an agreement on what constitutes acceptable behavior, instead of functioning simply as a way to remove them from general society. This paper also argues that some dissidents possessed means of pressuring the state, and that the dialogue between political malcontents and government authorities was not a one sided conversation. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to use this space to thank a number of people who helped me in a variety of ways as I completed this project.

This pair of chapters represents the most explicitly transnational part of my book; the rest is focused more internally on the intellectual and political history of rights-based dissent in the Soviet Union after Stalin. I look forward very much to our discussion on April 12. Best, Ben Nathans CHAPTER 8: OMBUDSMAN OF THE WORLD Does the Soviet dissident movement belong to the broader history of youth protest that enveloped much of the industrialized world in the 1960s? This notion has tempted historians of ideas and international relations alike. From Paris and Berlin to Prague and Moscow (and in one version, in Berkeley and Beijing as well), it has been argued that a new generation of “sophisticated rebels” developed an “international language of dissent,” a “lingua franca of protest,” an “international dissident culture,” leading in 1968 to a “global disruption.” 1 ------------------------------------ 1 H. Stuart Hughes, Sophisticated Rebels: The Political Culture of European Dissent, 1968-1987 (Cambridge, 1990), makes a relatively restrained case for a shared culture of protest that was “sophisticated in the sense of recognizing realistic limits and frequently defying conventional Nathans/From the Other Shore/p.2 For Soviet dissidents, something more than a shared language or a set of transnational family resemblances was at work.
