Sakharov Archives Show Russia's Moral Pulse Today
In a Moscow archive near Zemlyanoy Val, Elena Bonner recalls Andrei Sakharov's legacy and warns that Russia has drifted toward corruption, elite wealth, and fading civil society. Sergei Kovalev adds that democracy is fragile and the state leans toward nationalist power, even as Chechnya skews public faith. Bonner says she and Sakharov often shared views, now echoed by those continuing his conscience work.
