come in and we did for her it was asleep but. 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 where sack of used to listen to western broadcasts and the kitchen with a remarkable table which the academic had managed to repair without nails and what he heard from sacro of amaze the boy much more. zero 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 the thoughts of august were being killed when we were leaving we all still for a civilian serve gave me and my friend a fail well postcard each here's my post card i've counted for thirty years now and they're only briefly thought to andrey tremendous ring it all does that k.g.b. can take it away from us because. an

old two story mansion in the center of gorky was the only place where and the lace and yelena bonner 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 trees forty years before those events. since the one nine hundred eighty s. k.g.b. officers over the around the yard peering through the window to monitor several visits there were times when the academics ceased to believe there would ever be an end to his constant harassment is not 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 is gorky exile sucker of went on hunger strike three times for the first joined by you'll end up on the. local doctors received an order to hospitalize sucker off. the incident was put on record by the k.g.b. . today said rose ward is still a local place of interest the doctors don't like to comment on those events. the force feed in involved quite rough methods as andreessen groups later recalled they fast and his arms and legs to the bad plays a clip on his nose and poorly nutritious mixture into his mouth whenever he took a breath. in one thousand nine hundred eighty three secor of managed to leak to the west a new work to be published back in response to soviet leadership started afresh pounds of open persecution one of the central u.s.s.r.

newspapers published an article composed by four soviet academics who choose sacral of instigate a nuclear war against the soviet union mr sattar of if once you have the right to be called a comrade of 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 treachery. these abusive letters are actually very diverse but they have a similar structure of i didn't paragraphs denounces of the contents of that it was staged they picked people from various ends of the soviet union and told them write suffer for write this and don't mention this and that. meanwhile support for the exiled academic was growing in the west

a square in front of the soviet embassy in washington saw so many demonstrations and was named secular of plaza haven't heard washington. new york and decided to follow in the footsteps of washington and renamed part the street next to russian. united nations mission where a mission is a needle part of a war that was renamed sucker of warner corner. is world a 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 received that famous call from goldberg shelf he told his seven year exile was over the still yes when he 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 the country so it would go. 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 him he abstained from giving any political statements the first place he visited was a martyr a limited physical institute he will then to attend a scientific seminar but unlike seven years before it was not detained by the k.g.b. on his way in there the growth of this regime and we covered 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 south of intended to into the whole noiselessly in order not

to interrupt the seminar not to draw everyone's attention to himself something incredible happened i spotted him a good time to applause was the border of the soon sector of was elected to the supremes council as a delegate from the academy of sciences was in june one thousand nine hundred eighty nine sacro found himself at the center of a scandal that flared up in the first days of the session and condemned the situation concerning a soviet troops in afghanistan if you know that on the war in afghanistan as a troy he took me over the great wrong in itself. you know it's not clear you should be held responsible for this great trauma but country. these statements were just offensive on the offices who had foreseen that war themselves one of the subtle rosaline opponents has made just said a gay children a peacekeeper

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 surrogate lives in kiev and his head of the ukrainian war veterans group he still believes that sucker of was to go above and trusting people who provided him with information including that on the situation in afghanistan. overfull which was generally speaking apart from being a great physicist grew of the sucker of was a very sincere and naive person he was easily deceived and believed everything he heard he was and i had to counter his statements in a harsh manapul i think he was simply to see for the people who surround in those 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 of the session but the debates were 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 letters have been 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 public humiliation 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 to get. on december fourteenth one thousand nine hundred eighty nine during a session of the congress sattar of gave an interview to cannes like television the questions concerned the future of the cynical lass in test sites in kazakstan it

was a place when you clear weapons had been detonated for decades sachar off 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 mankind will terminate the critical period of history when we can peters and inventing weapons of mass destruction but it is 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 him and 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 drafting a new constitution for the country. but died before it was finished. many of those in and read sachar of early articles and his political supporters had lost their chance of meeting him in person. while the high standards of goods and devotion to the cause of the people in cyprus has set still needs to be fully understood. and that there would i'm sure the role is playland liberation of russia from doctrines or would be justly appreciative of good to share with the thinking of the.
