Timeline

1936

Natalya Yevgenyevna Gorbanevskaya (Ната́лья Евге́ньевна Горбане́вская; 26 May 1936 – 29 November 2013) was a Russian poet, a translator of Polish literature and a civil-rights activist.

1964

She graduated from Leningrad University in 1964 and became a technical editor and translator.

1968

She was one of the founders and the first editor of A Chronicle of Current Events (1968–1982).

On 25 August 1968, with seven others, she took part in the 1968 Red Square demonstration against the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia.

From 1968 onwards Gorbanevskaya was active in what was later called the Soviet "dissident movement."

She was founder and first editor of A Chronicle of Current Events, a samizdat publication that focused on the violation of basic human rights in the Soviet Union.

Her contribution was to compile and edit the reports, and then type the first six carbon copies of the issue, the "zero-generation" copy, for further replication and distribution.

Gorbanevskaya was also one of eight protesters in the 25 August 1968 Red Square demonstration against the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia.

Having recently given birth, she was not immediately tried with the other demonstrators.

She used this time to follow the trial in the Chronicle of Current Events, and published the accumulated documentation abroad in French and Russian (Polden).

1969

In 1969, she signed An Appeal to The UN Committee for Human Rights.

In December 1969 Gorbanevskaya was arrested.

In July of the following year she was put on trial and found guilty of offences under Article 190-1 of the RSFSR Criminal Code, committed while of unsound mind.

Gorbanevskaya was sentenced to indefinite confinement in a psychiatric hospital where she would be treated for "sluggish schizophrenia", a diagnosis commonly applied to dissidents.

They concluded that in 1969–72 she had been committed to a psychiatric hospital for political, not medical reasons.

For a time Gorbanevskaya was a celebrity figure in the West.

1970

In 1970 a Soviet court sentenced Gorbanevskaya to incarceration in a psychiatric hospital.

1972

She was released from the Kazan Special Psychiatric Hospital in 1972, and emigrated from the USSR in 1975, settling in France.

The book appeared in English in 1972 as Red Square at Noon.

1975

Only nine of her poems had been published in official journals by the time she quit the USSR in 1975; the rest circulated privately (samizdat) or were published abroad (tamizdat).

In December 1975, Gorbanevskaya emigrated to Paris.

There, French psychiatrists at their request examined Gorbanevskaya and found her to be mentally normal.

1976

In 1976 Joan Baez released a song dedicated to Gorbanevskaya called "Natalia", written by Roy Apps, Shusha Guppy and G.T. Moore, on the live album From Every Stage.

Introducing the song, Baez criticized Gorbanevskaya's internment in the psychiatric hospital and said: "It is because of people like Natalya Gorbanevskaya, I am convinced, that you and I are still alive and walking around on the face of the earth."
