She promoted the notion of human rights in the press, radio and TV; she built up a wide range of contacts in Moscow, provincial Russia and the other Soviet republics. During the last five months of that visit, from November 1991 onwards, Marjorie wrote and broadcast a weekly programme about human rights on the national "Radio Rossiya" and organized Russia's first ever conference on the death penalty. Her campaigning there also exposed the continued political abuse of psychiatry.
