of a blast, experimentally studied shock waves of explosions in 

 heterogeneous media and determined their basic parameters. 

 Sadovskii substantiated the law of similarity during an ex- 

 plosion. He worked out a number of devices for investigating 

 blast effects. 



As of 1961, Sadovskii was Director of the Shmidt Institute of 

 Terrestrial Physics of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences.

SAKHAROV, ANDREI DMITRIEVICH (Physicist) 



A. D. Sakharov was born May 21, 1921. He graduated in 

 1942 from Moscow University. In 1945 he began working at the 

 Institute of Physics of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. He 

 has been an Academician since 1953. 



Sakharov' s research is in theoretical physics. In 1950, to- 

 gether with I. E. Tamm, he proposed application of an electri- 

 cal discharge in a plasma, which is placed in a magnetic field, 

 for obtaining a controlled thermomolecular reaction.
