Andrei Sakharov (1921-1989), a brilliant physicist and the
principal designer of the Soviet hydrogen bomb, later became a
human rights activist and--as a result--a source of profound
irritation to the Kremlin. This book publishes for the first time
ever KGB files on Sakharov that became available during Boris
Yeltsin's presidency. The documents reveal the untold story of KGB
surveillance of Sakharov from 1968 until his death in 1989 and of
the regime's efforts to intimidate and silence him. The disturbing
archival materials show the KGB to have had a profound lack of
understanding of the spiritual and moral nature of the human rights
movement and of Sakharov's role as one of its leading
figures.
