Benjamin Nathans is the Alan Charles Kors Associate Professor of History at the University of Pennsylvania, specializing in Imperial Russia, the Soviet Union, modern European Jewish history, and the history of human rights. His latest book, To the Success of Our Hopeless Cause: The Many Lives of the Soviet Dissident Movement, published in August 2024, offers a definitive history of the Soviet dissident movement that emerged in the 1960s. The work delves into how a diverse group of Soviet citizens, including Nobel laureates like Andrei Sakharov and Alexander Solzhenitsyn, as well as lesser-known individuals, challenged the Soviet regime by demanding adherence to its own laws. Utilizing sources such as diaries, memoirs, personal letters, interviews, and KGB interrogation records, Nathans provides a vivid narrative of these dissidents’ efforts to constrain state power through legal means.
