Andrei Sakharov, Russian physicist C013 / 9158
Andrei Sakharov (1921-1989). Historical portrait of Russian nuclear physicist Andrei Dmitrievich Sakharov (left) in the Kremlin Palace of Congresses, Moscow, Russia, during the First Congress of Peoples Deputies of the USSR. Sakharov helped develop the first Soviet hydrogen bomb, successfully tested in August 1953. His doubts concerning the safety of nuclear tests, however, led him to campaign for a nuclear test- ban and improved civil rights. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1975. In 1980, he was sent into internal exile, released by Gorbachov in 1986

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical portrait captures the renowned Russian physicist, Andrei Sakharov (1921-1989), during the First Congress of Peoples Deputies of the USSR held at the Kremlin Palace of Congresses in Moscow, Russia. As a key figure in nuclear physics, Sakharov played a crucial role in developing the first Soviet hydrogen bomb, which was successfully tested in August 1953. However, his growing concerns about the safety implications of nuclear tests led him to become an advocate for a ban on such tests and improved civil rights. Sakharov's remarkable contributions to science and his unwavering commitment to peace were recognized when he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1975. Despite this prestigious honor, he faced adversity as he was sent into internal exile by authorities in 1980. Fortunately, under Mikhail Gorbachev's leadership, Sakharov was released from exile in 1986. In this poignant photograph captured by RIA NOVOSTI/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, we see an elderly Sakharov engaged in conversation or perhaps delivering a speech at the congress. His wise and determined expression reflects both his intellectual prowess and his dedication to making positive changes within society. Andrei Dmitrievich Sakharov will forever be remembered as not only a brilliant scientist but also as a courageous dissident who fearlessly fought for human rights and global disarmament amidst challenging circumstances within Soviet Russia.
