- Admin History/Bio
- Dr. Yevgeny Levich was born in Moscow in 1948, the son of the prominent physicist Dr. Benjamin Levich. Yevgeny received his Physics Ph.D.. in 1970, but was dismissed from his position after applying to emigrate to Israel in 1972. Subsequently ordered to report for military service, Yevgeny refused and was arrested in 1973. He was sentenced to heavy labour in an Arctic camp, despite a record of poor health. Following international protests, Yevgeny was released from prison in 1974 and granted permission to emigrate with his brother Alexander to Israel, where he was employed as a senior scientist in the Department of Nuclear Physics at the Weizman Institute of Science in Rehovoth, Israel.
