Sakharov Center

  Ul. Zemlyanoy Val 57, bldg. 6      (+7) 495 623 44 01     more than a year ago
Thought provoking and contemplative, this museum should be on the list for those interested in the life of Sakharov, Russia’s Nobel Peace Prize winning physicist and human rights campaigner. The upstairs museum room hosts five informative displays (it is a very contemporary place) discussing the establishment of the Soviet regime, the beginning of dissent, the repercussions, the results (GULAG) and the aftermath. The displays are mainly photographic, but there is some installation. While all information is original and therefore in Russian, the museum provides extensive descriptions for each display in English as well as an additional guidebook. Downstairs is a library and reading room.
