gorbachev's phone calls 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 his. the limited physical institute he went there to attend a 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 three similar to the seminar as usual on tuesday it was a seminar very much like the one that is being held here right now one of the seminar started and then came sucker of intended to enter the whole noiselessly in order not to interrupt the seminar not to draw everyone's attention to himself something incredible happened they spotted him and burst into applause for their. soon sector of was elected to the supreme council as a delegate from the academy of sciences but 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 he had condemned the situation concerning the soviet troops in afghanistan it is not at all that the war in afghanistan as a crime be a great drawing in itself. yet it's not clear who should be held responsible for this great drawing country i his statements were judged offensive by the offices who had foreseen that war themselves one of satirists main opponents his main just said a gay child of an a peacekeeper a former paratrooper who lost both his legs in the war it is we're going to we're very shocked by the provocative behavior of this famous scientist i.

today sergey lives in kiev and is head of the ukrainian war veterans group he still believes that sucker of was to go a bull in trusting people who provided him with information including that on the situation in afghanistan. we're foolish with generally speaking apart from being a great physicist grew the sucker of was a very sincere and naive person he was easily deceived and believed everything he heard was and i had to counter his statements in a harsh manner i think he was simply to see for the people who surrounded in the us and chose a political course of the young surrogates pressed 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
