From 2013 to 2015, I translated Bukovsky’s Judgement in Moscow from Russian into English; I also retrieved a great many footnotes from the 1995 French edition of the book.

Here now, in an ONLINE version (Chapters 1 to 3 thus far), those footnotes are included as links to accessible online translations and some untranslated Russian documents; a few documents were never put online in 1999 by Julia Zaks.

Two years ago a revised BOOK version of Bukovsky’s last major work was posted on this site. Lengthy chapters (e.g. “Back to the Future”, 76,000 words, 182 footnotes) were broken down into shorter form but retained their numerous footnotes and unillustrated texts: the online version makes referral to sources much more feasible.
