And the testimony of those who were there, will not be seriously considered - they do not have the capacity of Scotland Yard to investigate such cases. Completeness of the picture will always be insufficient. I now have a friend in the hospital, but I will not mention his name, so as not to harm him. If he comes out and can recover, then it will be possible to publish his story. Now he is reading Hegel in the hospital, and is trying to write programs on paper. | |

The final paragraph is a translation of the Russian text, not original content. Marked it up as quoted.

| Nov 5, 2018 at 20:55 | comment | added | pacify | Thank you for the interesting life story. In modern Russia, punitive psychiatry also works. True, the methods are now thinner, so rude do not take. But this is also observed. True, mostly - not for political reasons, but because of intractability (naivety and an attempt to swim against the current). A geek is not so hard to bring to paranoia. And to diagnose F21.0 after 4-12 months of being "on a bed" under antipsychotics is a pure formality. Sorry for the clumsy English. The story is very interesting and close to me. | |
| Nov 5, 2018 at 17:23 | comment | added | R W | @Nate Eldredge The author of the memoirs (himself a mathematician) shared a communal appartment with an algebraic geometer Lapin who was often visited by the leading Moscow algebraic geometers of that time (Manin, Tyurin, Iskovskikh, Moishezon, Parshin). He depicts a hiking outing near Moscow with his neighbour Lapin, Shafarevich and Arakelov just before Solzhenitsyn's arrest which is followed by the quoted paragraph. Solzhenitsyn was indeed arrested (and expelled from the Soviet Union the day after) in February 1974 - this is the year when the last Arakelov's paper appeared. | |
| Nov 5, 2018 at 14:27 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | R.W.: Can you add a little context to the above passage? For instance, when did these events take place? It appears from Wikipedia that Solzhenitsyn's arrest was in 1974, so I assume sometime around then? | |
