  Yakov Borisovich Zel'dovich - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In May 1931, at age seventeen, Zel'dovich became a laboratory assistant at the Institute of Chemical Physics of the USSR Academy of Sciences.
In 1977 Zel'dovich together with F. Shapiro was awarded the Kurchatov Medal, the highest award in nuclear physics of the USSR.
Zel'dovich worked on the theory of evolution of the hot universe, on the properties of microwave background radiation, on the large-scale structure of the universe, and on the theory of fl holes.

During Andrei Sakharov's first visit to Arzamas-16 in 1949, Iakov Zeldovich told him, "There are secrets everywhere, and the less you know that doesn't concern you, the better off you'll be.
Iakov Frenkel was a particular target, and his 1931 position on the irrelevance of dialectical materialism to physics was brought up against him.
Zeldovich recalled that he was sitting in Kurchatov's office in the early 1950s when a telephone call came from an editorial board in Moscow asking whether they should publish an article attacking the theory of relativity.

The project took over the town of Sarov in the Nizhny Novgorod Oblast on the Volga, and renamed it Arzamas-16.
The team (which included other prominent Soviet nuclear scientists such as Julii Borisovich Khariton and Iakov Borisovich Zeldovich) was assisted both by public disclosures made by the US government and by further information supplied by Fuchs, but Kurchatov (fearing the intelligence was misinformation) insisted his scientists retest everything themselves.
On August 29th 1949 the team detonated its initial test device (a plutonium implosion bomb) at Semipalatinsk; Kurchatov later remarked that his main feeling at the time was one of relief, as he was confident that had the weapon failed, Stalin would have had him shot.

The project took over the town of Sarov in the Gorki Oblast (now Nizhny Novgorod Oblast) on the Volga, and renamed it Arzamas-16.
The team (which included other prominent Soviet nuclear scientists such as Julii Borisovich Khariton and Yakov Borisovich Zel'dovich) was assisted both by public disclosures made by the US government and by further information supplied by Fuchs, but Kurchatov and Beria (fearing the intelligence was misinformation) insisted his scientists retest everything themselves.
Beria in particular would use the intelligence as a third-party check on the conclusions of the teams of scientists.
