Biographical Note Born in 1940, Pavel Litvinov is a physicist, writer, and Soviet-era dissident. He is the grandson of Maksim (Maxim) Litvinov, the former Russian minister of foreign affairs (1930-1939) and ambassador to the United States (1941-1943). Litvinov was raised among the Soviet elite, but after Stalin's death in 1953, he became disillusioned with the Soviet system after witnessing the return of family friends from the labor camps. In his twenties, he became acquainted with a group of intellectuals who were following the show-trials of the writers Andrei Siniavskii and Iulii Daniel'. Litvinov was one of eight participants in the 1968 Red Square demonstration against the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia; the participants raised banners in Czech and Russian supporting Czechoslovak independence. The KGB promptly arrested the protesters and put them on trial two months later. Litvinov was sentenced to five years' exile in Siberia. In 1974, Litvinov and his family immigrated to the United States, where he taught physics and mathematics at a boarding school in Tarrytown, New York, until his retirement in 2006.
