The Ninth Circle is a story about punitive psychiatry that arose in the USSR at the initiative of F. Dzerzhinsky in the early 1920s. For decades passed, and thousands of completely innocent people sat in the Soviet specialists and nothing changed. The journalist and human rights activist Viktor Davydov know firsthand the existence of special psychics: he himself was their prisoner. In these secret institutions, unlike the usual islands of the Gulag Archipelago, the prisoners already did not exist. Their statements were not considered in state bodies, injuries and death were not investigated, and the term was not determined by law. Terrible rumors went about these institutions even in the camps, and in the West they did not know about them for a long time. Fortunately, the author of the "Ninth Circle managed to survive, be released and tell not only about the experienced by himself, but also about the suffering of many people - workers, intellectuals, artists, writers who have experienced all the horrors of punitive psychiatry
