Phew I`m back from vacation.
I was in Urals these last two weeks, went to visit my parents. So I`ve read your talks and remembered a little town wich is pretty close to my city I was born in. It was called Semipalatinsk, and it had a nuclear testing ground. So since 1949 they were testing nuclear bombs there. They blasted 616 nuclear devices there - bombs, mines, rockets. But the first explosion was very cruel. Because after 8 hours after explosion 10 000 young soldiers were ordered to march through the centre of the place were bomb exploded. The goverment wanted to check the radiation effect on people, because japans didn`t want to share their information about medical consiquences of Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuking. (by the way we are still in official state of war with them since WWII, because we (or they) didnt sign a peace treaty :))
