Abstract

This chapter discusses Shafarevich’s remaining writings and statements of the years preceding perestroika. For the purpose of providing context for them, it also briefly relates the fates of Vladimir Osipov and Father Dimitrii Dudko, two leading lights of the Russian Orthodox patriots in the Soviet Union in the seventies and eighties. Shafarevich defended both of them when they ended up in difficulties with the officialdom. After this, I will consider some statements in the West made by Shafarevich’s exiled friend Solzhenitsyn as well as the reactions they stirred. Shafarevich was unable to keep pace with these addresses but their reactions illuminate the Western and émigré reception of convictions which greatly coincided with his own. These debates also provide background for the discussion of Shafarevich’s controversial Russophobia in Ch. 8. Upon concluding this chapter and before turning to the years of perestroika, I will make some provisional conclusions concerning Shafarevich’s ideological positions in the Soviet years.
