So that work should become a rest and a pleasure, we introduced forced labor. So that not one drop of blood be shed any more, we killed and killed and killed. Andrei Sinyavsky, Imprisoned Soviet writer The case of Sinyavsky and Daniel, Soviet writers recently im­ prisoned for writing "anti-Soviet" works, once again brings to the fore the eternal muzzling of free thought
