Drama History

Plot

Andrii Dovzhenko uncovers a chilling secret long buried in the USSR: many labeled as "anti-Soviet propagandists" were not imprisoned but confined to psychiatric hospitals with a diagnosis of "slow progressive schizophrenia." As he endures the horrors of punitive psychiatry, Andrii grapples with a harrowing dilemma—collaborate with the KGB to reunite with his family or expose the grim reality faced by tortured dissidents. Drawing from the memoirs of Soviet dissidents, the narrative highlights the chilling use of "punitive psychiatry" as a tool for suppressing dissent and stifling free thought.
