In February 1964, Vigdorova was present at the trial of Brodsky and made a recording of the court hearings, which was widely disseminated in samizdat: in fact, with this recording, called “The Judgment,” along with some of the early works of Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the history of socio-political samizdat in Russia. A. Ginzburg dedicated his “White Book” about the Sinyavsky-Daniel trial to Vigdorova.
The recording was also published many times in different countries and caused a widespread movement of left-wing Western intellectuals in defense of Brodsky; Thanks to the intervention of Jean-Paul Sartre, Brodsky was released from exile in September 1965.
