Kurchatov and colleagues, Leningrad, 1925
Igor Vasilyevich Kurchatov (1903-1960, right), Soviet nuclear physicist, talking to colleagues at the Leningrad Physical-Technical Institute, Leningrad, Russia. In the 1930s, Kurchatov supervised the construction of what was then the worlds largest cyclotron particle accelerator. He also led the work on the USSRs first atomic bomb (1949), hydrogen bomb (1953) and the worlds first nuclear power plant (1954). He was a member of the legislative body of the USSR from 1949. Photographed in 1925

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the brilliant mind of Igor Vasilyevich Kurchatov, a renowned Soviet nuclear physicist. Taken in 1925 at the Leningrad Physical-Technical Institute in Russia, the image portrays Kurchatov engaged in an animated discussion with his colleagues. Kurchatov's contributions to science were groundbreaking and far-reaching. In the 1930s, he oversaw the construction of the world's largest cyclotron particle accelerator, pushing boundaries and expanding our understanding of physics. His genius extended beyond scientific research as he played a pivotal role in leading projects that shaped global events. Notably, Kurchatov spearheaded the development of several monumental achievements for the USSR. He successfully guided efforts to create their first atomic bomb in 1949 and later led advancements towards building a hydrogen bomb by 1953. Additionally, under his guidance, they established the world's first-ever nuclear power plant in 1954. Beyond his remarkable scientific accomplishments, Kurchatov was also involved politically as a member of the legislative body of the USSR starting from 1949. This photograph offers us a glimpse into this extraordinary man's early years when his potential was just beginning to unfold. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time almost a century ago, we are reminded not only of Kurchatov's brilliance but also of how one individual can shape history through their dedication and pioneering spirit.
