On September 14, 1954, an atomic bomb with a yield of about 40 kilotons was detonated at the Totsk test site near Orenburg. As part of an experiment to study the consequences of the nuclear explosion, a few hours later, military personnel in chemical protection suits passed through its epicenter. The secret operation, codenamed "Snowball," turned into a disaster: more than 45,000 military personnel and 10,000 civilians were exposed to deadly radiation. This book is the result of more than twenty years of research by journalist Vyacheslav Moiseyev. He began gathering information bit by bit back in the 1980s, scrutinizing eyewitness accounts of the atomic explosion, then declassified documents from archives and carefully selected media publications. His book is about the responsibility of the organizers of the Totsk experiment to the unwitting participants of the apocalypse rehearsal, to Russia and to history itself.
