Cyrillic Projector

The Cyrillic Projector is a sculpture created by American artist Jim Sanborn in the early 1990s, and purchased by the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 1997.

The Kryptos sculpture (located at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia) has text which is duplicated on Antipodes.

The encrypted text of the Cyrillic Projector was first reportedly solved by Frank Corr in early July 2003, followed by an equivalent decryption by Mike Bales in September of the same year.

The second is a partial quote about the Soviet dissident, Nobel Peace Prize awarded scientist Sakharov.

The text is from a classified KGB memo, detailing concerns that his report at the 1982 Pugwash conference was going to be used by the U.S. for anti-Soviet propaganda purposes.
