The book is an expanded autobiography of the famous theoretical
physicist Isaak Khalatnikov. He worked together with L.D. Landau at
the Institute for Physical Problems lead by P.L. Kapitza. He is the
co-author of L.D. Landau in a number of important works. They
worked together in the frame of the so-called Nuclear Bomb Project.
After the death of L.D. Landau, I.M. Khalatnikov initiated the
establishment of the Institute for Theoretical Physics, named in
honour of L.D. Landau, within the USSR Academy of Sciences. He
headed this institute from the beginning as its Director. The
institute inherited almost all traditions of the Landau scientific
school and played a prominent role in the development of
theoretical physics. So, this is a story about how the institute
was created, how it worked, and about the life of the physicists in
the "golden age" of the Soviet science. A separate chapter is
devoted to todays life of the institute and the young generation of
physicists working now in science. It is an historically
interesting book on the development of Soviet and Russian science
and presents the background of the Soviet nuclear bomb program in
the cold war age. In war times, Khalatnikov was a chief of the
military staff of nuclear research. He writes about the internal
conditions of Soviet society, the way of operating of the Soviet
authorities and ways for scientists to interact with them. It gives
many interesting insights into the development of superconductivity
and superfluidity. The book is written by the most experienced and
best informed person among the few living Russian scientists in the
environment of Landau. Many stories of the book were never
published before and considered as "top secret".
