Not to diminish Zvereva's courage, but the political climate in the Soviet Union in the late 80s was way more open to this kind of protest than in, say, the Soviet Union in the 60s. Or China now.

No doubt, Pamchenko. If Natasha had done what she did in the 60s, it's very possible we never would have seen her on a court again. Still, even in her time, it was an incredibly daring move, that brought about a huge change. And I'll always have incredible respect for her for being brave enough to stand up for her beliefs.
