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. 410 0$aAnnals of Communism. 606 $aHuman rights workers$zSoviet Union 606 $aDissenters$zSoviet Union 615 0$aHuman rights workers 615 0$aDissenters 676 $a323/.092 676 $aB 701 $aRubenstein$b Joshua$0506918 701 $aGribanov$b Alexander$f1945-$0164662 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974786103321 996 $aThe KGB file of Andrei Sakharov$94361879 997 $aUNINA
