    Today, Russia's state center for forensic psychiatry is still the Serbsky Institute, where psychiatrists once examined thousands of political dissidents whom they deemed mentally unfit. One favorite diagnosis: vyalotekushchaya, or "sluggish schizophrenia," a clinical term coined at Serbsky to explain why someone with such a disorder might appear normal most of the time.
