Soviet dissident movement

The Soviet dissident movement consisted of individuals and groups who opposed the authoritarian policies and censorship of the Soviet government during the Cold War era. Dissidents challenged issues like political repression, lack of free speech, human rights abuses, and lack of religious freedom. They often faced imprisonment, exile, or harassment for their activism. The movement played a vital role in raising awareness about Soviet injustices, both domestically and internationally, and contributed to human rights progress and increased global scrutiny of the Soviet regime.
