Description	"So, these are the Refuseniks," proclaimed American television journalist Phil Donahue as he began filming a group of Moscow refuseniks in the apartment of one of them in January 1987. This book is a comprehensive answer to the question of who exactly were the refuseniks, or refuzniks — a numerically small but significant minority of Soviet Jews who fought to leave the USSR from the late 1960s to the late 1980s. Their story is based on memoirs and documentary sources, and the movement itself is depicted through the eyes of both participants and persecutors, disapproving fellow citizens, foreign friends, and fellow Jews who did not share their emigration aspirations. The history of the movement is presented not through a chronological sequence of events, but through a "tag cloud" — a collection of key themes for the refuseniks and their contemporaries, such as parochialism and intellectualism, people and homeland, suffocation and human dignity. The struggle to emigrate to Israel is placed in the context of alternative destinies and perceptions of Jewishness. Galina Zelenina is a historian, associate professor at Moscow State University and Russian State University for the Humanities, senior research fellow at the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA), and author of the books "From Judas's Scepter to the Jester's Staff: Court Jews in Medieval Spain" (2008), "Judaica Two: Renaissance in Faces" (2015), "The Fiery Enemy of the Marranos: Life and Death under the Surveillance of the Inquisition" (2018), and "Outcasts of the Middle Ages" (2021).
