The intellectual heritage of dissidents of the Soviet period is still not properly understood and not evaluated, although their experience in the current political reality is more than relevant. The proposed encyclopedic project for the first time gives a total idea of how significant the role of dissenters in the fight against the totalitarian system, the scale and breadth of the spectrum of political practices and the methods of non -violent resistance in the USSR and other countries of the socialist camp was. This publication includes biographies of 160 active participants in independent civil, political, intellectual and religious life in Eastern Europe of the 1950-1980s. In the fate of these people there were prison terms, emigration, and forced treatment in psychiatric hospitals, and political triumphs. Along with biographical texts, the book includes extensive historical essays on the socio-political and cultural specifics of the era. The publication is based on the translation from the Polish language of the first volume of the Dictionary of dissidents (2007), on which national centers and copyright groups from the participating countries worked together
