Sistema announces decisions of its Board of Directors
Moscow, Russia - 17 May 2021 - Sistema PJSFC (hereinafter, Sistema or the Corporation ) (LSE: SSA, MOEX: AFKS), a
Russian publicly traded investment company with a diversified portfolio of assets, announces a number of decisions made
The 21st of May marks the centenary of the birth of Andrei Sakharov, one of the great physicists of the twentieth century who was also one of the world’s most courageous and renowned proponents of freedom and human rights. His name nowadays is universally linked with the quest for human rights and democracy.
As the key figure in the Soviet Union’s development of a thermonuclear bomb, Sakharov could have enjoyed a life of privilege and luxury. But to do so would have meant closing his eyes to the injustice and repression around him. This was something that Sakharov, unlike the vast majority of his colleagues in the Soviet Academy of Sciences, would not do.

This took place against the background of the formation of the Third Coalition against Napoleon s France and the impending collision of the Russian and French armies. In these circumstances, Russian ideologists decided to sell the coming conflict as a sacred war. However, in 1807, Russia and France signed the Treaty of Tilsit, and until 1812, Russia officially forgot about Napoleon the Antichrist . That didn t mean the Russians did, however.
