The tria l of tw o R ussian w riters Sinyavsky and Daniel h as received trem endous publi city in th e W est and has aroused world-wide public opinion. The fa te of two young U krainian in tellectuals, Ivan S vitlychny and Ivan Dzyuba, who have been sim ilarly persecuted by th e So viet regim e is still little known in th e free world, despite nu m er ous p ro tests by U krainian w rit ers in exile and o th er U krainian groups. The little booklet edited by Zinkew ych provides excerpts from D zyuba’s and Svitlychny’s w ritings, a good bibliography of th e ir w orks as well as some edi torial com m ent. It is a m uch needed publication. A w kw ard E nglish tran slatio n and th e abundance of typographical e r rors, how ever, d etra ct very m arkedly from its usefulness. НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ — ЛЮТИЙ, 1968 21
