		His widow, Yelena Bonner, bitterly opposes the project because she believes the human rights abuses, poverty and authoritarianism of Russia's political life today do not reflect the principles or vision and, thus, memory of her late husband.
		Bonner's scathing description of Russia today is an indictment not only of the Putin government but also of American media commentary.
		Bonner's words should serve as a living monument to Sakharov's legacy--and a reminder to us that we are still not getting the real story about Russia from our media.

		(Washington, D.C.): Last night, the conscience of the Soviet Union and widow of Andrei Sakharov, Dr. Yelena Bonner, added her powerful voice to those of other prominent Soviets who have questioned Mikhail Gorbachev's role in the August 19th coup.
		They also cast serious doubt on the prospects that Gorbachev will serve as a reliable agent for such reforms now and, therefore, that he -- rather than the emerging democracies at the republic and local levels -- should be the beneficiary of further Western support.
		Gorbachev's resignation, and the wholesale dismantling of the USSR he asserts would precipitate it, should be as welcomed by the West as it obviously would be by Dr. Bonner and her fellow genuine reformers.
