Sakharov in DC

JUL 01, 2002

Andrei Sakharov’s head and hands grace the entrance of the Russia House at 1800 Connecticut Avenue in Washington, DC. Dedicated on 29 April, this statue of the Russian nuclear physicist whose human rights activities won him the Nobel Peace Prize was a gift from Russian-American sculptor Peter Shapiro to the Russia House, an umbrella organization for activities involving US-Russian business, education, science, and cultural cooperation.
