The conference was organized by P.N.Lebedev Physical Institute. It was supported
by the USSR Academy of Sciences, its Nuclear Physics Department, and the Public
Comission for the Prepetuation of the Memory of Academician A.D.Sakharov and his
Heritage.
The topics of the Conference were closely related to the fundamental scientific
concepts and the problems investigated by A.D.Sakharov, and reflected modern
developments in these fields.
More than 400 participants (300 from the USSR and 100 from the other countries)
took part in the work of the Conference.
