  Third International Sakharov Conference on Physics organized by the
Theoretical Physics Department of the Lebedev Institute, Russian Academy of
Sciences, covered wide scope of topics: astrophysics, fusion, high field, high
pressure and high density research, superstrings and dualities, brane world and
quantum gravity, quantum field theory and high energy physics. This short
Opening Word however exceeds the bounds of physics - it is about three
"dynamical characteristics" of Sakharov's methodology and way of thinking:
"Artseulov method", "a permanent feeling of possible personal error", and
ability "to count to two", which in present days is not less demanded than
before.
