Russian poet
Joseph Brodsky returns to Leningrad from the exile near the Arctic Circle where he had been sent when a Soviet court in
1964 convicted him of "parasitism".
Starting this year and continuing for a decade,
Bulgarian censors prevent publication of works by
Konstantin Pavlov, poet and screenwriter who was defiant against his country's communist regime; his popularity didn't wane, as Bulgarians clandestinely copied and read his poems.[1]
