The Case of Vasyl Stus. A Collection of Documents from the Archive of the Former KGB of the Ukrainian SSR

The Vasyl Stus Case: A Collection of Documents from the Archives of the Former KGB of the Ukrainian SSR is a historical non-fiction book compiled by Ukrainian journalist Vakhtang Kipiani. The acquisition of freedom of speech, the establishment of justice, and the uncovering of truth were what Vasyl Semenovych needed, and what he was deprived of during times of repression, censorship, and political imprisonment. Stus's criminal case remained the greatest secret in the history of the suppression of the dissident movement for years, but after amendments were made to a number of laws, it was finally revealed. Kipiani's documentary is based on original records from the former archives of the KGB of the Ukrainian SSR. The journalist highlights materials from Stus's fabricated case — receipts, resolutions, protocols, excerpts, and statements — and uncovers the truth about the life, imprisonment, and death of the Ukrainian poet.
