In an interview on 29 September 1986, he claimed that in the USSR ‘a sane person cannot be sent to a psychiatric hos- pital’. In March 1989, during a meeting with an American delegation, he explained that 38.1% of all schizophrenics suf- fered from sluggish schizophrenia and described the symp- toms, which included ‘anti-Soviet thinking’ and ‘delusions of reformism’. He then argued that all dissidents could be diag- nosed as suffering from sluggish schizophrenia.

Three weeks later, the Berlin Wall came tumbling down, and in 1991, the Soviet Union Political repression; itself ceased to exist. However, over the past years, an increasing number of reports on the Soviet Union internment of political activists in former Soviet republics made people realize that 25 years after the decision of the WPA, political abuse of psychiatry still has not been eradicated. Using psychiatry as a means of repression has been a particular favorite of totalitarian regimes with a communist State ideology. Cases have been reported from other countries as well, including Western democratic societies, yet nowhere else has it been developed into a systematic method of repression. While probably the overwhelming majority of Soviet psychiatrists were unaware that they had become part of a perfidious system to treat dissenters as psychiatrically ill on the orders of the Party and the KGB, there is also ample evidence that the core group of architects of the system knew very well what they were doing.

Nezhdanova Odessa State Musical Academy [email protected] DRAMA FUNCTIONS OF A DANCE IN THE WEST-EUROPEAN OPERA (FROM J. PERI TO CH. V. GLUCK) Purpose of the article is a research of the origins and evolution of drama functions of a dance in the opera, in- fluence of dance on the common concept of the work. Research of this problem has caused reference to early examples of the opera genre, to the works of composers from Italy, Germany and England referring to the end of XVI, XVII and XVIII centuries. Exposure of drama functions of a dance is based on the analysis of the specific peculiarities of the dance embodiment in the first examples of the opera forms, in the opera works of C. Monteverdi, J. B. Lully, J. Ph. Ramo, G. F. Handel and Ch. V. Gluck. Methodology. System, historical and dialectical methods have been used, which enabled to study evolution of drama functions of a dance in the opera from the earliest examples of this genre to the works, which are the first achievements of the European opera art. Scientific novelty of the work involves expansion of notion of dance genre influence on typological peculiarities of the opera drama art in the works of C. Monteverdi, J. B. Lully, G. F. Handel and Ch. V. Gluck. Consideration of the structure of the dance divertissements in the opera works of J. Ph. Ramo makes it possible to apply a notion "suite dance form".
