Sakharov Center, Human rights museum and library in Zemlyanoy Val Street, Moscow, Russia.
The Sakharov Center houses extensive collections about Soviet totalitarianism, political repression, and the dissident movement through photographs, documents, and personal artifacts.
Founded in 1996 by Elena Bonner, the center preserves the legacy of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Andrei Sakharov, who developed from nuclear physicist to human rights defender.
The institution maintains archives of Soviet-era documents, supports research initiatives, and facilitates discussions between historians, journalists, and civil society representatives.
The center combines museum exhibitions, library resources, and meeting spaces, allowing visitors to explore Soviet history and participate in educational programs.
A section of the Berlin Wall stands in the adjacent park, symbolizing the connection between nuclear disarmament efforts and the fall of Soviet control.
