a sucker of was in exile we did our best to preserve his office your rule nobody took his place at table you signed bearing his name was still hung on the door of the study it was attached to the in a side of the door and we separated by the wall at the sign where you stated. no official soviet establishment supposed to enforce the law has taken responsibility for the fact of fighting parts haitian it is only up to a court to establish either someone's innocence or to determine the measure of punishment and a term of imprisonment my case is a layering unlawfulness. meanwhile ingoldsby all a sucker oath and owners potential contacts were under a 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 just sack of suddenly show up the state security officer approached me show his id card and instructed me as to how i was to sort of sucker

of the one i was warned even happens to ask for permission to make a phone call i was to tell him that. in one thousand nine hundred eighty. and race 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. 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. no idea where interest her of lived and his neighbors showed us the way from the elevator. we rushed from the elevators there was on the right where the door and i pressed the bell without hesitation was a woman opened the door seconds later we learned it was here in a ball and you're going the ball that she gave us

a look of surprise and we also defend raising her of lived there she told us to come in and we did. while sucker of 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 sacral amazed the boy much more. sir of 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 thoughts of august 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 written in briefly to andrey from and wring your alders that k.g.b.

can take it away from us. 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 of sky and elin his relatives lived in the building the high notes the family had a similar story they were also in exile to goalkeeper the soviet or thora g.'s 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. the tension was extreme.

cheering his gorky exile sucker of went on hunger strike three times for the first joined by c.n.n. and on a. local doctors received an order to hospital i sat her off. the incident was put on recalled by the k.g.b. . today said 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 prefer later recalled they fast and his arms and legs to the bad plays a clip on his nose and pour it in you trish is 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 work to be published there in response to soviet leadership started afresh

bound to vote on persecution one of the central u.s.s.r. newspapers published an article composed by four soviet academics. sachar off of instigating. against the soviet union mr sattar of if once you had the right to be called a comrade to win the working class can no longer call you so the soviet workmen deplore your miserable attempts to tarnish the soviet reality and can damn your outspoken kreta yuri. these abusive letters are actually very diverse but they have a similar structure will divide it into paragraphs denounces of their contents reveals that it was all staged they picked people various ends of the soviet union and told them right sacrifice right they sometimes 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 he was named sackler of plaza go to encourage washington. new york and he said it before. the russian and renamed part the street next to russian. united nations mission very missionaries and middle part of a war it was renamed soccer of borneo corner. is well it's communist party has chosen mikhail gorbachev as its general secretary. in nineteen eighty five gorbachev started his policy of perestroika to bring down the iron curtain soon after supper of received that famous call from gorbachev he told him his seven year exile was over the silliest 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 underway in a country where it. a week off the gorbachev phone calls etc of return to moscow and was met by dozens of journalists sattar of had no idea what was in store for them even steyn from giving any political statements the first place he visited was 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 in there was a branch of the threesome with which over to the seminal as usual review on tuesday it was a seminar very much like the one that is being held here right now in the seminar started and then came suffer of intended to enter the whole noiselessly in order

not to interrupt the seminar not to draw everyone's attention to himself something incredible happens they spotted him and burst into applause with the refrigerator. soon set or of was elected to the supreme council as a delegate from the academy of sciences was 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 some of my the war in afghanistan was a troy i'm too clever and very trying in itself. yet i'll stop play i should be held responsible for this great triumph by a country. these statements were judged offensive on the offices who had foreseen that war themselves one of such thrills nane opponents has made just surrogate

children a piece a former paratrooper who lost both his legs in the war. we're very shocked by the provocative behavior of his famous son to. thank. today sergey lives in kiev and is head of the ukrainian war veterans group he still believes that sucker of was to go it will interesting people who provided him with information including that on the situation in afghanistan. poor foolish 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 just see for the people who surrounded the political course with young surrogates pressed

a populist stand point to months soviets in relation to the conflict in afghanistan those who supported sacrosanct want to be or an absolute minority of the session but the debates are 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 letters had a much different tone to those that previously filled his mailbox during his gawky exile. dear dr sorrow please accept my deepest apologies for the so called publish millions i can't keep silent anymore after watching the session of the congress and people stephanie's on t.v. did i realize how desperately we need to. understand the fourteenth one thousand nine hundred eighty nine during a session of the congress sattar of gave an interview to kazakh television the questions concerned the future of the senate

a lot since test site in 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 right that mankind's will terminate a critical period of history tells us when we can peters and inventing weapons of mass destruction. as a kind of examination and condescend to say that a test of the ability to survive a thoughtless wish. it was his last interview a few hours later sacral spot failed his friends even told team the previous day would deeply shocked. they had a no and only silence. thousands of people came to bid farewell to the academic sachar of. a nice final year sachar of was

drafting a new constitution for the country. but died before it was finished. many of those in and read sachar early articles and his political supporters had lost their chance of meeting him in person. the clock at the high standards of goods and devotion to the cause of the people who suffer off the set still needs to be fully understood. and are there but i'm sure the role is failing the liberation of russia from doctrine. will be just three years with british you're going to get a third of the.
