Moral Enhancement in Russia: Lessons from the Past
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 May 2018
Abstract:
Against the contemporary debates on techniques of “moral enhancement,” this article reviews the interpretation and methods of moral enhancement during the Stalin years in Russia: (1) the GULAG and (2) the abuse of psychiatry. The article serves as a cautionary tale for today’s policy debates, from the personal experiences of the author.
