Vitaly Ginzburg, 93, a Nobel Prize-winning Russian physicist and one of the fathers of the Soviet hydrogen bomb, died Sunday of cardiac arrest in Moscow. His career began in the late 1930s, a time of Stalinist purges and pervasive anti-Semitism. Ginzburg was blacklisted and faced persecution but "was saved by the hydrogen bomb," he wrote in his autobiography. Ginsburg won the 2003 Nobel Prize in physics with two other scientists for their contribution to theories on superconductivity, which is the ability of some materials to conduct electricity without resistance.
