Why I am not going back to the Soviet Union (Ukrainian: Чому я не хочу вертатись до СРСР?) is an anti-establishment pamphlet authored by Ivan Bahrianyi in 1946. It outlines Bahrianyi's own (political) declaration of national dignity, as well as his views on the importance of human rights. The essay opens with the sentence, "I am one of those thousands of people, Ukrainians, who, to the bewilderment of the entire world, do not want to return home to bolshevik rule."

The pamphlet describes the repressive nature of the Soviet system, including an account of the author's experiences in a Soviet prison.[1]
