culture is that so much of an oldish was a share of power in mind that the mark of the arab awakening is often referred to as revolutions in the arab middle east there can be no doubt something in court obviously try this feature. in india already is available in the movie god love joy b. hotels the home of villas the gateway her to the grand imperial troy's and the top western coast coromandel you can a west hotel closure hutto sedated to go partyers brotherson the kennel was her child as used to retreat to. moscow the limited physical institute and the academy of sciences the employees of the institute were the only people allowed to visit sacro in the city of gold key. his colleagues kept in touch with him during the whole seven year exile despite the difficulties such actions

could bring them. when andre sucker of was in exile we did our best to preserve his office your rule nobody took his place at table you sign very his name was still hung on the door of the study there was a task in a side of the door and we separated by the wall at the side where you. know official soviet establishment supposed to enforce the law has taken responsibility for the fact of my deportation it is only up to the courts to establish either someone's in a sense or to determine the measure of punishment and a term of imprisonment my case is hilarion unlawfulness. meanwhile in gold key all of sucker rolls and bonus potential contacts were under 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 zachary of suddenly show up a state security officer approached me show 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 the phone didn't. in one thousand nine hundred eighty resident and or a smidgen 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 friend decided to go and find out who exactly south 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 of lived and his neighbors showed us the way from the elevator. we rushed from the elevators there was on the right where they pressed the bell without hesitation was why woman opened the door seconds later we learned it was even a boner. she gave us

a look of surprise and we also different rates on her of lived there she told us to come in and we did. while sucker of was busy in his study and re-examined 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. serious 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 organizer of being killed when we were leaving we all stew for a souvenir served gave me and my friends a fail well postcard each year is my postcard i've kept it for thirty years now written in briefly to and from and dream it all does that k.g.b.

can take it away from us. an old two story mansion in the center of course was the only place where and there a sucker of and on the could pay friendly calls the family of maria hein of 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 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 center of visits there were times when the academics ceased to believe there would ever be an end to his constant harassment. and they even found a place in oregon 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 the. local doctors received an order to hospitalize said. the incident was put on recalled by the k.g.b. . today said it 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 fastened his arms and legs to the bad place to sleep on his nose and already knew trisha's mixture into his now whenever he took a breath. in one thousand nine hundred eighty three sacro managed to leak to the west a new world three published then 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 have the right to be called a comrade we have a 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 treachery. these abusive letters are actually very diverse but they have a similar structure or did with divided into paragraphs denounces of their contents reveals that it was all staged they picked people from various ends of the soviet union and told them right sacrifice write this and don't mention this and not.

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. from her. soccer. new yorker decided to follow. footsteps the russian print and renamed park street next to russian. united nations mission where a mission is and the middle part of war was renamed soccer warner poorna. is well it's 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 saturday of receive that famous call from gorbachev he told him his seventy exile was over the silliest and 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 the time glasnost was already underway in a country. 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 him he abstained from giving any political statements the first place he visited was around a matter 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 lead the rest of the threesome with regard to the seminar as usual on tuesday it was a seminar very much like the one that is being held here right now so no the seminar started and then came suffer of intended to injure 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 was that a word you're. soon center of was elected to the supreme council as a delegate from the academy of sciences was in june one thousand nine hundred nine sacra found himself at the center of a scandal that flared up in the first days of the session he had condemned the situation concerning a soviet troops in afghanistan it got up on a map by the war in afghanistan as a crime to be a great drawing in itself. you know it's not clear you should be held responsible for this great crime country. these statements were judged offensive by the offices who were fortunate were themselves one of suttles main opponents as may just surrogate should have been

a peacekeeper a former paratrooper who lost both his legs in the war wouldn't it we're very shocked by the provocative behavior of this famous scientist thank. today surrogate lives in kiev and his head of the ukrainian war veterans group he still believes that secor of was to go about in trusting people who provided him with information including that on the situation in afghanistan. we were foolish generally speaking apart from being a great physicist who the sucker of was a very sincere and naive person he was easily deceived and believed everything he heard he was. counting his statements in a harsh manner i think he was simply to see for the people who surround it of which was a political course of the young so gay expressed

a populist standpoint among soviets in relation to the conflict in afghanistan those who supported secularist point of view were an absolute minority can the session for the debate so broadcast live across the country allowing the public to decide as a result sacral started to receive letters once again just like in the old days this time however the list is not a much different tone to those that previously filled his mailbox during his gawky exile. dear dr suffer of please accept my deepest apologies for the so called publisher millionaires and i can't keep silent anymore after watching the session of the congress of people's deputies 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 sattar of gave an interview to kazakhs television the questions concerned the future of the semi-colon since dest site and kazakstan it

was a place when you clear weapons had been detonated for decades sachar of demanded that the site be closed because the people who lived in this vicinity were paying too high a price for those nuclear tests. yeah i hope that mankind will terminate a critical period of history tells us when we computers and inventing weapons of mass destruction live it as a kind of examination and condescend to say that a test of the data to save the life of folks wish it. it was his last interview a few hours later sacral start failed his friends even told him the previous day would deeply shocked. they had no warning signs. thousands of people came to bid farewell to the academic sattar of. any final

year sachar of was drawn to a new constitution for the country. but died before it was finished. many of those who had read sachar early articles and his political supporters had lost their chance of meeting him in person. the blood of the high standards of goods and devotion to the cause of the people sorrowful set still needs to be fully in our store. and i there were i'm sure the role is played in the liberation of russia from the doctrines are over just three appreciative of british it would have had a third of the. culture

is the same much lately usually that is shared by the mark when the arab awakening is often referred to as revolutions lyric middle east there can be no doubt something in court like this major. home.
