k.g.b. surveillance. when the academic arrived in the city even the manager of the local pharmacy was specially instructed by the k.g.b. on how to behave should sack of suddenly show up when you prepared you a state security officer approached me shoot his id card and instructed me as to how i was to serve sucker of you or me i was warned if it happens to ask for permission to make a phone call i was to tell him that i didn't. in one thousand nine hundred eighty resilience and grace of was just thirteen years old one day he learned there was a local man whose name was only mentioned in response andrei and his friends decided to go and find out who exactly sattar of wards were it went to the fortune the first thing we saw was a man sitting at a table it turned out to be a policeman wearing civilian clothes. where no idea where injuries to her have

lived and his neighbors showed us the way from the elevator. from the elevators there was on the right where pushed the door no press the bell with no hesitation was a woman opened the door seconds later we learned it was here in a ball and you're going the woman gave us a look of surprise and we all stiff and raise our of lived there she told us to come in and we did. it with. well sakharov was busy in his study and re-examine the whole flat he remembers to this day the living room with the radio sets of used to listen to western broadcasts and the kitchen with a remarkable table which the academic had managed to repair without nails but what he heard from sucker of amaze the boy much more. told us that one of the basic reasons for his exile was his opposition to the war in afghanistan we knew about

this war and were aware that lots of organized were being killed when we were leaving we all still for a souvenir were served gave me and my friends a fail well postcard each year is more postcard i've kept it for thirty years now they're written in briefly to andrey from and drink it all does that k.g.b. can take it away from us of. an old two story mansion in the center of corky was the only place where andrei sakharov and yelena bonner could play friendly calls the family of maria hein or sky elin his relatives lived in the building the high notes the family had a similar story they were also in exile to go to keep by the soviet authorities forty years before those events. since the one nine hundred eighty s. k.g.b. officers of the around the yard peering through the window to monitor several

visits there were times when the academics ceased to believe they would ever be an end to his constant harassment. and they even found a place in the oracle where they wanted to be buried there is neither of them hope to get out of this town of exile. that's action was extreme. cheering his gorky exile sucker of went on hunger strike three times for the first joined by c.n.n. and on the. local doctors received an order to hospital i said. the incident was put on record by the k.g.b. . today south ward is still a local place of interest but the doctors don't like to comment on those events. therefore speed in involved quite rough methods as andreessen proof later recalled

they fast in his arms and legs to the bad place to sleep on his nose and poorly nutritious mixture into his mouth whenever he took a breath. in one thousand nine hundred eighty three sacro managed to leak to the west a new world three published them in response to soviet leadership started afresh bound to vote and persecution one of the central u.s.s.r. newspapers published an article composed by four soviet academics who choose to sack of of instigating. against the soviet union mr sattar of if once you had the right to be called a comrade to the working class can no longer call you so the soviet workmen to kill or your miserable attempts to tarnish the soviet reality and can damn your outspoken treachery. these abusive letters are actually very diverse but they have a similar structure divided into paragraphs denounces of their contents reveals that

it was a stage they picked people from various ends of the soviet union and told them right sacrifice right this and don't mention this and that. meanwhile support for the exiled academic was growing in the west the square in front of the soviet embassy in washington saw so many demonstrations and was named sachar of plaza haven't heard where washington. new york and he said it before the. steps a russian can. rename part street next to russian. united nations mission where mission is a middle part of a war was renamed soccer of warner corner. as well its communist party has

chosen mikhail gorbachev as his general secretary. in nineteen ninety five gorbachev started his policy of perestroika to bring down the iron curtain soon after supper of receive that famous call from gorbachev he told him a seventy exile was over costly especially when the abnormality of the situation became clear everyone went on to discuss it i said so what let's face the issue. i think we should get suckered back let him come back from exile and get to work because even at that time glasnost was already under way in the country so it than a week of the gorbachev phone call sattar of return to moscow and was met by dozens of journalists sattar of had no idea what was in store for them he abstained from giving any political statements the first place he visited was around a martyr a limited physical institute he went there to attend the scientific seminar but

unlike seven years before he was not detained by the k.g.b. on his way there was a verse of the first thing that we covered for the seminar as usual or on tuesday it was a seminar very much like the one that is being held here right now in the in the seminar started and then came subtle of intended to into the whole noiselessly in order not to interrupt the seminar not to draw everyone's attention to himself something incredible happens i spotted him and burst into applause was that a word you're. soon set or of was elected to the supreme council as a delegate from the academy of sciences which in june one thousand nine hundred nine sacro found himself at the center of a scandal that flared up in the first days of the session he had condemned the situation concerning the soviet troops in afghanistan it read out that on the war in afghanistan was a crime to be nuclear but a great wrong in itself. and

it's not clear who should be held responsible for this great wrong country. his statements were judged offensive by the offices who had foreseen that war themselves one of such close nine opponents has made just silly gay children a piece a former paratrooper who lost both his legs in the war he didn't look at it we're very shocked by the provocative behavior of this famous scientists told ya know. today sergey lives in kiev and is head of the ukrainian war veterans group he still believes that secular of was to go of all interesting people who provided him with information including that on the situation in afghanistan. powerful generally speaking apart from being a great physicist sufferer of was

a very sincere and naive person he was easily deceived and believe everything he heard he was. counting his statements in a harsh manner i think he was simply to see for the people who surrounded in those which was a political course of the young surrogates pressed a populist standpoint to months soviets in relation to the conflict in afghanistan those who supported secularist point of view were an absolute minority of the session but the debate so broadcast live across the country allowing the public to decide as a result sacrifice started to receive letters once again just like in the old days this time however the lenses had a much different tone to those that previously filled his mailbox during his gawky exile. dear dr suffer oh please accept my deepest apologies for the so called publish million i can't keep silent anymore after watching the session of the

congress of peoples their feet is on t.v. did i realize how desperately we need you. on december fourteenth one thousand nine hundred eighty nine during a session of the congress center of gave an interview to kazakhs television the questions concerned the future of the senator last since dest site and kazakstan it was a place when you clear weapons had been designated for decades sachar of demanded that the site be closed because the people who lived in this facility were paying too high a price for those nuclear tests. yeah i hope that mankind will terminate the critical period of history as is when we competed in inventing weapons of mass destruction it is a kind of examination and condescend to say that a test of the ability to survive a thoughtless wish it. it was his last interview

a few hours later satirise heart failed his friends he met told team the previous day would deeply shocked. there'd be no planning silence. thousands of people came to bid farewell to the academic sachar of. in his final year sachar over was drafting a new constitution for the country. but died before it was finished. many of those who had read sachar of early articles and his political supporters had lost their chance of meeting him in person. that while at the high standards of goods and devotion to the cause of the people sorrowful set still needs to be fully understood. and i there were i'm sure the role is trailing the liberation of russia at all from doctrines or would be just three appreciated of british it would have

been the thing of the.
