People mourn as they stand around the coffin of prominent Russian physicist Vitaly Ginzburg during a funeral ceremony in Moscow November 11, 2009. Ginzburg, a Russian physicist who survived Stalin's purges by working on the Soviet atomic bomb project and later won the Nobel Prize for physics, died in Moscow late on Sunday after a long illness. He was 93.
