Andrei Sakharov, 1921-1989
Heroes are essential to the improvement of society. They represent humankind
at its best, a distillation of the diverse qualities that lead a person to behavior that
teaches and inspires. In the modern world of media hype and investigative reporting,
heroes are hard to find. Either they are suspected of being ordinary souls with good
public relations agents or statuesque figures whose feet of clay will be exposed just,
when schoolchildren are being asked to emulate them. In this age of skepticism a
man who became a hero, who never disappointed his followers, and whose influence
was consistent and increasing at the time of his untimely death was Andrei Sakharov.
He was a distinguished scientist and a great human being.
Sakharov received the kudos of his country for his outstanding work in physics,
which led to, among other things, the Soviet hydrogen bomb. Whether the world was
better off with that application is a matter for speculation, but in the eyes of the Soviet-
Union it provided "the equalizer." The stalemate between the superpowers produced an
era of relative world peace (defined as the absence of a major war) for an unprecedented
period in modern times. Sakharov could have spent the rest, of his life basking in the
tributes of his countrymen; but when he saw abuse of power, he chose instead to use his
prestige to fight the authorities who had recently honored him.
He was treated with unbelievable, indignity and cruelty. He and his family
were constantly harassed, as were visitors to his Moscow home. He was not
allowed to continue his scientific work. His papers and personal effects were
stolen from him by, order of the state. He was exiled, and he and his wife were
denied needed medical attention. Throughout this period he acted with
steadfastness and will. His words became rallying points for scientists
worldwide, and Sakharov became their symbolic leader in the cause of scientific
freedom. When praised for his courage, he replied with modesty, naming others
less known who had been imprisoned for similar actions and statements.
