Pupil of a real school. Junker in Wrangel's army. Provincial teacher, a member of the scientific circle. These are the first milestones of Anatoly Alexandrov's biography. Each of them measured a whole epoch in the life of the country. The unprecedented rise of scientific thought coincided with an invitation to the legendary Leningrad Phystech. A promising specialization was forced to change by the war, which led Aleksandrov to the Atomic Project. On his shoulders fell the scientific leadership of the construction of reactors for power plants and for the navy. When the USSR reached the peak of its power, Aleksandrov headed its most powerful think tanks - the Kurchatov Institute and the Academy of Sciences. The Chernobyl tragedy became a flashpoint in the life of the country and in his personal life. A critical intertwining of technological and social catastrophes destroyed the USSR. Academician Alexandrov outlived him by two years. However, such an outcome would be incomplete and incorrect. For his legacy still works today: in the reliability of the nuclear shield, in nuclear power, in the development of the Northern Sea Route. This book is not only a biography of an outstanding scientist, but also a search for answers to the question about the origin of the pleiad of titans to which Aleksandrov belonged.
