Ukrainian Diaspora in Canada rescues videos, testimonies of Ukrainian dissidents

Director Yuriy Luhovy and producer Zoryana Hrytsenko from Canada have rescued 26 video recordings of Ukrainian dissidents. These recordings are unique because they were created in the late 1970s and early 80s. The videos show Ukrainian dissidents who were released from Mordovian Gulags or were tortured, drugged, and abused in Soviet psychiatric hospitals.

Testimonies, interviews, and speeches of dissident leaders Petro Hryhorenko, Valentyn Moroz, Nadiya Svitlychna, and other Ukrainian political prisoners are available online, on Yuriy Luhovy’s YouTube channel.
