"I consider it my duty to speak the truth as I see it and to share not just my triumphs, not just the things that felt good, but the pain, the intense, often unmitigated pain. It is important to share how I know survival is survival and not just a walk throught the rain."

About Andrei Sakharov

Andrei Sakharov (1921-1989) was a renowned Russian physicist and dissident who became a prominent voice for human rights during the Soviet era. He made significant contributions to the development of the Soviet hydrogen bomb but later turned against nuclear weapons and advocated for arms control and peace. Sakharov's activism led to his exile and house arrest, during which he continued to speak out against the Soviet regime. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1975 for his efforts in promoting civil liberties and democracy in the Soviet Union.
