Budker, who joined the Soviet Atomic Energy Institute in 1946, did early work on graphite-moderated uranium reactors and contributed to the development of the Soviet hydrogen bomb. As director of the Siberian Institute of Nuclear Physics in Novosibirsk, he helped design a "colliding beam" accelerator-now used in high-energy physics research-in which a beam of electrons collides with a beam of positrons...
...Moscow smoking is being prohibited in the dining areas of all restaurants. Anyone caught lighting up in shops, cinemas, sports arenas or hotel lobbies in Novosibirsk risks a ten-ruble (about $13) fine.

...been glimpsed by only a few privileged visitors from the West. Now as part of the partial thaw in U.S.-Soviet relations, several American science writers, including TIME'S Fred Golden, have been taken on a conducted tour of leading Soviet research centers, from Moscow to Leningrad to Novosibirsk in western Siberia, and allowed to speak with scores of top scientists. Golden's report...
