(FATHERS OF THE SOVIET ATOMIC BOMB)
Scarce D.S. 1p. 4to., [n.p.], May 13, 1958, a listing of the names of 17 leaders of the Soviet's atomic bomb program, 13 of whom have signed beside their typed names. The document, apparently part of an agenda for a meeting, has been signed by PYOTR L. KAPITSA (1894-1984), a physicist who was dismissed for his refusal to work on an atomic bomb, later reinstated and developed the means to liquefy helium, Nobel winner, LEV D. LANDAU (1908-1968), a physicist who pioneered in low temperature physics, atomic and nuclear physics and solid state and plasma physics, also a Nobel winner, and fellow scientists LEV ARTISMOVICH, DANILOV, MALKOV, PEMKOV, STRELKOV, and others. Files holes at left, else near fine.
