 Wikipedia: Igor Kurchatov
Igor Kurchatov (И́горь Васи́льевич Курча́тов, born January 8, 1903 in Chelyabinsk, died February 7, 1960 in Moscow) was the leader of the Soviet Atomic bomb program.
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.
Kurchatov subsequently worked on the Soviet hydrogen bomb program (1953), but later worked for the peaceful use of nuclear technology, and advocated against nuclear bomb tests.

 Igor_Kurchatov - The Wordbook Encyclopedia
Igor Kurchatov and his apprentice Georgy Flyorov discovered the basic ideas of the uranium chain reaction and the nuclear reactor concept in the 1930's.
In 1942 Kurchatov declared: "At breaking up of kernels in a kilogram of uranium, the energy released must be equal to the explosion of 20,000 tons of trotyl." This announcement was practically verified during the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.
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.

 TIME.com: Soviet-Controlled Fusion -- May 7, 1956 -- Page 1
In his speech Kurchatov obviously did not tell all he knows, but he did make a closer public approach to one aspect of controlled fusion than anyone has made before.
Kurchatov told how Russian scientists experimented elaborately with one of the most promising methods, the "pinch effect." When a powerful electric current is sent through an ionized gas in a tube, it creates a magnetic field that compresses the gas into the tube's center, keeping it away from the walls.
More careful investigation proved that this could not be the case, but free neutrons are the "fire" that cause most nuclear transformations, and any new process that frees them is apt to prove important.
