I'm surprised he didn't spend a long time in the gulag
There were no gulags in 1983, they were under Stalin, who dies in 50s
He did lose his job and was pushed about from pillar to post and led a miserable life until his courage was recognized.
But he was not imprisoned, right
I am not too sure but?
