...Soviets continued to try to link the Chernobyl disaster to the dangers of radiation in a nuclear war. In Cologne, Yevgeni Chazov, a Soviet surgeon and Deputy Health Minister, warned that "the accident proved that medicine will be helpless if even a few nuclear bombs are detonated." Along with U.S. Surgeon Bernard Lown, Chazov received the 1985 Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War. Chazov's remarks, delivered before a meeting of the organization, drew a sharp rebuke from members of Chancellor Helmut Kohl's Christian Democratic Party, which supports nuclear power...
...centers around the world and only on the most desperately ill patients. Stoffel, together with Dr. Helmut Borberg at the University of Cologne, is treating ten people, most of them with the same condition as Lewis', known to doctors as familial hypercholesterolemia, or FH. In Moscow, eminent Soviet Cardiologist Yevgeni Chazov is treating another ten FH patients, working closely with the Rogosin Institute in an unusual Soviet-American collaboration. Both overseas groups report that their patients' angina has decreased and that they perform better on stress tests...

Journalists were haranguing Chazov for having signed a 1973 letter that attacked Andrei Sakharov, the dissident Soviet physicist who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1975. Suddenly, a Soviet television reporter collapsed onto the floor...
When the Nobel Committee awarded its 1985 peace prize to the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, the choice hardly seemed controversial. In a gesture of East-West amity, Soviet Cochairman Dr. Yevgeni Chazov and his U.S. counterpart, Dr. Bernard Lown, were named as recipients. A delighted Soviet government decided to allow its ambassador in Oslo to attend the Dec. 10 ceremonies. Moscow had boycotted Nobel proceedings since 1975, when Soviet Dissident Andrei Sakharov was awarded the coveted prize...
