Universal History Annotation << Back On the Memoirs by Prof. Anri Rukhadze «The Events and the Persons» B.S. Gorobets These are comments to the memoirs by Prof. Anri Rukhadze [1], а foundator of the modern theory of physics of SHF plasma. In a quite sincere and spontaneous manner the author depictures the life of Soviet physicists in the period between 1950–2010. The book is characterized by unusual absence of traditional dull politesse texts treating VIPs of the state and scientific elite. Hereafter, the history of science is absorbing subjective though non-complimentary information about the processes and the events which took place in the main physical institutes of Moscow such as Lebedev Inst. (PhIAN), Prokhorov Inst. (IOPhAN), Kapitsa Inst. (IPhP), Semenov Inst. (IChPh), Landau Inst. (ITPh) as well as in Praesidium of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (RAN). In spite of the personal subjective and emotional coloration of this book it differs a lot from the majority of tedious reminescences which the authors and editors used to be afraid to enter restricted areas.
