Biographical Note Irina Grivnina (b. 1945) received her education in electronics and mathematics at the Aeronautics University in Moscow and had worked as a mathematician for eleven years. In 1977 she started participating in the publication of the Samizdat ("self-publishing") magazine revealing psychiatric repression in the Soviet Union. Grivnina was a member of the Moscow Helsinki group. In 1980 she was arrested by the KGB and spent fourteen months in the Lefortovo prison. The court trial resulted in sentencing her to exile in Kazakhstan, where she spent two years. In 1983 Grivnina returned to Moscow and in 1985 she emigrated with her family to the Netherlands. Since then she has lived in Amsterdam, writing and translating for Dutch, American, and Russian newspapers and magazines and for the BBC Russian Service programs. Irina Grivnina is the author of six books published in the Netherlands; two of them were also published in Russian. Scope and Content of Collection The documents in Irina Grivnina papers reflect her participation in the dissident movement, arrest, prison term and internal exile, and fight for emigration. Her archive also documents her work as journalist and writer. The collection is divided into ten series; some of them are described below. The Biographical file consists mostly of Grivnina's trial documents and a number of complaints filed by Grivnina and her husband Vladimir Neplekhovich, in connections with her arrest, imprisonment, and especially exile. (In exile Irina was pregnant, and local KGB authorities insisted that she terminate her pregnancy.) The file also includes personal documents of Vladimir Neplekhovich reflecting complications he encountered at work because of Grivnina's dissident activities and arrest. The Correspondence series contains conventional and electronic mail from Grivnina's family and friends. Attention should be paid to letters from Daniel Jaffe (an American law student/writer/lawyer) who met and befriended Grivnina in Moscow. Their correspondence lasted for twenty years, from 1978 to 1998. Irina Grivnina wrote six novels in Russian; most of them were translated into Dutch and published in the Netherlands. Only one of her novels was published in Russian. Russian language novels and memoirs, mostly unpublished, are included in this collection. As a journalist, Irina Grivnina wrote extensively on political and cultural issues for newspapers and magazines and interviewed many prominent political and cultural figures from various countries for her BBC programs. These materials, as well as her translations, book reviews, lectures, and speeches on various occasions make Speeches and Writings series a valuable research resource. The Writings by Others series includes stage adaptations by famous Russian theater director Mikhail Levitin (typescripts, unpublished); two plays by bard, dissident, and poet Yulii Kim; an essay by Vladimir Bukovskii. In emigration Grivnina continued human rights activities participating in various conferences and congresses as a presenter or accredited journalist. The Congresses and Conferences series includes working materials of such events highlighting Register of the Irina Grivnina 2018C13 2 papers this side of Grivnina's activities. The Subject File consists of personal documents of Grivnina's grandparents including work evaluation and KPSS member assessment of her grandfather, Colonel Pavel Al'tshuller, and Soviet military staff maps of the Stalingrad battle that he collected, and material gathered by Grivnina for a book she planned to write about Andeĭ Saklharov. Photographs and slides in the Visual Materials contain images of famous Soviet and foreign writers, poets, and political figures (Vladimir Voinovich, Semen Lipkin, Inna Lisnianskaia, Venedikt Erofeev, Liudmila Petrushevskaia, Kendzaburō Ōe, Gunter Grass, Pavel Kohout, Václav Havel, and others) and of Soviet human rights activists (Mustafa Dzhemilev, Viacheslav Bakhmin, Vladimir Bukovskii, Aleksandr Podrabinek, and others), as well as photo reports from the Poésie International festival in Rotterdam, Pushkin conference in Bonn, Prague conference of dissidents residing in Russia and abroad, and the Glasnost' and Perstroika Congress. The series also includes photographs depicting Irina and her family in exile and in emigration. The Sound and Video Recordings consist of interviews conducted by Grivnina or interviews of her. While in prison, Grivnina worked hard to stay strong. For that purpose, in violation of prison rules, she knitted a sweater for herself and sewed a night gown out of her husband's shirt. She also treasured a pair of ears created for the Poésie International festival and signed by famous Russian writers and poets. When she emigrated to the Netherlands she was met by people holding textile signs "Irina Grivnina, Workers on Human Rights most welcome" and "Irina Grivnina Released." These items and other memorabilia can be found in the Memorabilia series.

The Case for Democracy: The Power of Freedom to Overcome Tyranny and Terror Natan Sharansky , Joanne J. Myers November 9, 2004 Introduction Remarks Questions and Answers Introduction The Case for JOANNE MYERS: Good morning. I'm Joanne Myers, Director of Merrill House Programs, and Democracy: The Power of Freedom on behalf of the Carnegie Council I would like to say how extremely honored we are to have to Overcome with us this morning Natan Sharansky on the occasion of his recently published book, The Case Tyranny and Terror for Democracy: The Power of Freedom to Overcome Tyranny and Terror. In reflecting on the challenges facing democracy in the 21st century, Margaret Thatcher once wrote, "It is always true that the world that is can best be understood by those conversant with the world that was. None are more conversant with the realities of the Cold War, or more adept at drawing out its lessons for today, than those who saw it—not just lived through it, but actually saw it for what it was—from the inside." It is with this in mind that we extend a very special welcome to our speaker this morning, Natan Sharansky. From Gulag to guru, Mr. Sharansky's life has personified the struggle for human rights and the ongoing pursuit of dignity for all mankind. Our guest today is a former Soviet dissident and political prisoner who has spent his life championing democracy.

PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Patil Halajian DATE: June 23, 2011 Tel: 416-250-9807 Yelena Bonner—a Commanding Voice for Human Rights & Heroic Figure for Karabagh Armenians Passes Away Armenians mourn the loss of Yelena Bonner, a great humanist, and a leading combatant against the injustices of the Soviet era. She will forever remain relevant and inspirational to people worldwide, and to Armenians particularly, because of her forceful advocacy on behalf of the people of Karabagh. Yelena Bonner, the wife of Andrei Sakharov, the Soviet Union's most prominent dissident scientist, and developer of Russia‟s first hydrogen bomb, was co-founder the Moscow Helsinki Group in the 1970s. By relentlessly challenging state oppression, it quickly became the most active rights group in the entire movement. The organization‟s mission was to publicize Soviet violations of the Helsinki Accord signed in 1975, recognizing Soviet hegemony in photo by Mikhail Lemkhin return for assurance of fundamental freedoms and human rights guarantees. Throughout her lifetime, Ms. Bonner lent her voice to many causes. She spoke very passionately on the human rights violations committed by Azerbaijan in Karabagh and virtually from the onset of the national liberation movement there, she defended the right of the Armenian nation to self-determination. She did so from the highest platforms, calling international attention to the issue. Among her public appearances was a lecture on “Nationalities in the Soviet Union: Possible Solutions within the Framework of a Revised Constitution,” which she made under the auspices of the Zoryan Institute and the Amnesty International Group of Harvard Law School in 1990.

As such, the Universal Declaration and the Genocide Convention serve as a key link between human rights education and historical learning. AND This volume elucidates the debates surrounding the historical development of human rights after 1945. The authors exam- H ine a number of specific human rights, including the prohibition of discrimination, freedom of opinion, the right to asylum ISTORY and the prohibition of slavery and forced labor, to consider how different historical experiences and legal traditions shaped their formulation. Through the examples of Latin America and the former Soviet Union, they explore the connections · A CHALLENGE FOR EDUCATION between human rights movements and human rights education. Finally, they address current challenges in human rights education to elucidate the role of historical experience in education.
