La Pensée russe
On 12 August 1981, Roginsky was arrested on Article 196—"the forgery and the production and sale of forged documents", and accused of transferring materials abroad to anti-Soviet publications such as, "Pamyat", a historical journal. As his final statement in the court, he gave a speech, "The situation of a historian in the Soviet Union" (published by the "Russkaya Mysl" newspaper). He served the time of his punishment in full, was released in 1985, and was fully rehabilitated in 1992.
