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.Annals of Communism.Human rights workersSoviet UnionDissentersSoviet UnionElectronic books.Human rights workersDissenters323/.092BRubenstein Joshua506918Gribanov Alexander1945-164662MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451788303321The KGB file of Andrei Sakharov2469778UNINA
