“Savchenko harder because she has a hope”
Known psychiatrist, Soviet dissident, Ukrainian human rights activist Semen Gluzman told about his detention in Soviet camps and opportunities to release Ukrainian pilots Hope Savchenko.
About hunger strikes and dissidence
Our hunger shares were absolutely not political, not mass-media. It was an emotional resistance to the totalitarian regime. Each of us is well aware that, at first, you will die, and no one will know; Secondly, even if the civilized world know about your prison a few months later, in your life, nothing will change. Brezhnev and the team will not let you.
You’re hungry, knowing that before you a totalitarian monster that you did that he could say: “I’m not afraid of you.” This is the only way to show your disrespect and lack of fear.
According to the instructions MIA time the doctor came in ten days, I took it pressure, pulse and looked fed you an artificial mixture. And, if you resist, you force-fed.
This is your emotional challenge. Or you will die, unable to control their condition, or you take off the hunger strike. Last time, when I took on a hunger strike, my weight was 42 kg. But I was in a saved state of mind, because he understood that he said his “no” totalitarian state, of which I was.
Well-known Russian human rights activist and a close friend of Sakharov, Sergey Adamovich Kovalev, who was the Ombudsman under Yeltsin, once came to us. He was arrested for what was the editor of the clandestine edition of “The Chronicle of Current Events”. He said that when he looked at everything we do, from the outside, being with his family, did not understand why we are so active are unnecessary, as he believed, the aggression of the government and the camp administration. Like, once planted, so sit. But, once in the camp with us, perfectly understood that the resistance is necessary for each of us.
About Savchenko and political interests
This is the most significant difference. Savchenko knows what it knows about the world that are fighting for it. Maybe it’s even harder. Because when you know in the face of his only enemy, know that you are alone with him, you’re more strategically independent. And her stay in prison all the same depends on many factors, lawyers and others. I am sure that Savchenko is heavier because it has hope. This, I think, the most irritating effect. In our cases, no hope was not.
When it made the number one party and some other regalia gave its price in Putin’s understanding of the immensely increased.
I think that is largely to blame for its lawyers and Ukrainian politicians, who cried piteously from morning to evening, “Nadia, we need you!” And so on. In fact, she had the opportunity did not stop the hunger strike first. Because, as I understand it, Putin was ready for some radical solution even then. Because it was all very sudden.
There are many nuances, which is not to say. Journalists do not want to disturb the policy. Price terrible – death of a person. But it was the only way out for her, the only real opportunity to escape and return home. Now prices have risen, because politics intervened.
