EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of Soviet physics. In 1986, at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Moscow, two distinguished physicists are engrossed in conversation. Dr Vorobyev, department head and winner of the prestigious Lenin Prize, stands on the left while Georgy Nikolayevich Flyorov, renowned nuclear physicist and initiator of the Soviet atomic bomb project during World War II, stands on the right. Flyorov's letters to Stalin played a crucial role in kickstarting this top-secret project that would shape global politics for decades to come. As a Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences and Director of the nuclear reactions laboratory at JIRA, Flyorov was an esteemed figure within scientific circles. His accolades included being honored as Hero of Socialist Labour. In this snapshot from 1986 when both men were in their seventies, we witness a meeting between two giants who have dedicated their lives to advancing nuclear physics research. The image exudes an air of intellectual intensity as they stand before a blackboard filled with equations and diagrams. This photograph not only showcases these brilliant minds but also serves as a testament to their contributions towards shaping scientific progress within the Soviet Union during one of its most transformative eras.
