Yury G. Kronn

In 2013, Kronn was appointed a faculty member of Quantum University in Honolulu, Hawaii, a school that is not accredited in the United States.

In 1982, Kronn and ten other Russian dissidents organized a movement to foster trust and promote peace between the Soviet Union and the West. Kronn chaired the Disarmament Section of the first Moscow International Symposium for Humanitarian Problems in 1987.

In June 1982, with ten other dissidents, Kronn helped organize the Group to Establish Trust Between the U.S. and the USSR, a non-official movement for trust and peace between the Soviet Union and the West.

In the summer of 1982, while an international peace march was taking place in Moscow, assault charges were fabricated against Kronn and an associate, Yuri V. Medvedkov. The two were arrested on July 16 and held in prison by the Soviet security department, the KGB, until July 31, 1982. Despite attempts to silence him, Kronn persisted with his unsanctioned political activities. In 1987 he chaired the Disarmament Section of the first Moscow International Symposium for Humanitarian Problems.
