The Soviet physicist, dissident, and human rights
activist Andrei Sakharov
(1921-1989)
was
awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in
1975.
The first
Russian to have been so recognized, Sakharov
in his Nobel lecture held that humanity had a
sacred endeavor to create a life worthy of its
potential, that we must make good the demands
of reason, by confronting the dangers threatening
the world, both then and now: nuclear annihilation,
famine, pollution, and the denial of human rights.
Meeting the Demands of Reason provides a
comprehensive account of Sakharov s life and
intellectual development, focusing on his political
thought and the effect his ideas had on Soviet
society.
Jay Bergman places Sakharov s
dissidence
squarely within the ethical legacy of the nineteenth-
century Russian intelligentsia, inculcated by
his father and other family members from an
early age. In
1948,
one year after receiving
his doctoral candidate s degree in physics,
Sakharov began work on the Soviet hydrogen
bomb and later received both the Stalin and
the Lenin prizes for his efforts. Although as a
nuclear physicist he had firsthand experience of
honors and privileges inaccessible to ordinary
citizens, Sakharov became critical of certain
policies of the Soviet government in the late
1950s.
He never renounced his work on nuclear
weaponry, but eventually grew concerned about
the environmental consequences of testing and
feared unrestrained nuclear proliferation. Bergman
shows that these issues led Sakharov to see the
connection
between his work in science and his
responsibilities to the political life of his country.
In the late
1960s,
Sakharov began to condemn
the Soviet system as a whole in the name of
universal human rights. By the
1970s,
he had
become, with Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the most
recognized Soviet dissident in the West, which
afforded him a measure of protection from the
authorities. In
1980,
however, he was exiled
to the closed city of Gorky for protesting the
Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. In
1986,
the
new Gorbachev regime allowed him to return to
Moscow, where he played a central role as both
supporter and critic in the years of
perestroïka.
Two years after Sakharov s death, the Soviet Union
collapsed, and in the courageous example of his
unyielding commitment to human rights, skillfully
recounted by Bergman, Sakharov remains an
enduring inspiration for
al!
those who would tell
truth to power.
