Diskussion & Buchpräsentation – "Andrej Sacharow: Der Mann, der keine Angst hatte."

In the organizer's words:

Many see Andrei Sakharov, the father of the Russian hydrogen bomb, as an icon of resistance. After the physicist became aware of the dangers of his research, he tirelessly warned of the horrors of nuclear war. Sakharov rebelled against politics in the Soviet Union and even fought from exile against censorship, lack of freedom and state despotism in his homeland. In view of the developments in Russia under autocrat Putin, his story is more important than ever - and an important tale of the fight for democracy, peace and the protection of our world.

Sergey Lukashevskiy from the Russian exile medium Radio Sakharov, Ute Kochlowski-Kadjaia (Friedrich Naumann Foundation) and David Schraven (CORRECTIV) will talk about the current situation in Russia and the people who are fighting for freedom, justice and democracy despite being expelled from their homeland. The occasion is the publication of the graphic novel "Andrei Sakharov: the man who had no fear", which tells the story of the Russian physicist's life and his fight for democratic values. The book was published by CORRECTIV-Verlag and produced in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut e.V., the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom and CORRECTIV.Exile. CORRECTIV.Exile was launched at the beginning of July 2024 and aims to connect politically persecuted people in exile and support them in their fight for more democracy.

The lecture language is German and Russian with consecutive translation.
