Since the mid-1950s. one of the first in the USSR to begin to defend a position that much later formed the basis of “dissident behavior” - by legal means to defend constitutional rights and freedoms violated by the authorities. He was actively involved in legal education.
In the spring of 1956, Orlovsky, together with his friend Revolt Pimenov, prepared a commentary on the text of N.S.’s report. Khrushchev at a closed meeting of the 20th Congress of the CPSU, then distributed in Samizdat. In 1956–1957 At weekly meetings of the Pimenov circle, he read reports on the history of the Cheka–OGPU–NKVD, abstracts of materials from the Polish and Yugoslav press (primarily materials about Hungarian events). At Pimenov's request, he was brought in as a witness in both of his trials (September 1957 and February 1958). In 1958, he collected funds to help those convicted in this case. “Since then, for almost 30 years, I have felt the KGB’s “care” for me: searches, interrogations, “conversations”, recommendations to my superiors in the service to reduce my salary (almost by half!), prohibit me from giving consultations and other work in the public sector. organizations, not allowed on business trips <...> and even in Leningrad libraries" (from the article "How did I become a dissident?", 1996).
In 1959, Orlovsky, in a letter addressed to Khrushchev, protested against his statement about the absence of political prisoners in the USSR. In May 1960 and August 1961, he spoke at factory rallies criticizing the foreign policy actions of the Soviet government (in particular, Khrushchev’s ultimatum on the Berlin issue), for which he was expelled from the trade union and fired from his job.
In November 1973, he took an active part in the founding of the Soviet section of Amnesty International and became its member.
In January–March 1977 KGB officers had five conversations with Orlovsky. Instead of the “statement” required by the KGB officers, Orlovsky wrote the essay “My Position.”
Since 1952, Orlovsky sent hundreds of letters to the editors of various newspapers and magazines and to government and public figures outlining his opinion on many phenomena and events in the country's socio-political life. The most important letters were distributed in Samizdat. His critical analysis of the draft new Constitution of the USSR was published in 1977 in the samizdat bulletin “Around the Draft Constitution of the USSR.” The article “Why I didn’t sign the Second Stockholm Appeal” was published in periodicals of the Russian diaspora; its detailed presentation in English was published in the London newspaper “The Times” (12/21/1976).
In 1979–1982, under the pseudonym Kukushkin, he collaborated in the samizdat abstract journal “Summa”.
