Abstract

This is a study of the political and philosophical thought and social activity of the academician Igor Shafarevich, a world-renowned Russian mathematician. During the Brezhnev years Shafarevich was noted for his work in a dissidents’ independent human rights committee alongside Andrei Sakharov, surely the best-known human rights activist of the Soviet Union. He was also the closest associate of the other leading figure of the Soviet dissident world, the anti-communist writer Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn whose contribution to the shattering of the Soviet system was probably bigger than that of any other dissident.
