Naum Korschawin

Naum Korschawin was a notable Russian poet and dissident who spent years in the Gulag for his opposition to the Soviet regime. After his release, he became a symbol of the struggle for freedom of expression in Russia, particularly during the Perestroika era. Korschawin's poetry and public readings inspired many and marked a significant return of cultural life in post-Soviet Russia before the resurgence of authoritarianism.
