The story recounts an experiment set in 1947 at a covert Soviet test facility, where scientists give test subjects a stimulant gas that would prevent sleep. As the experiment progresses, it is shown that the lack of sleep transforms the subjects into violent zombie-like creatures who are addicted to the gas. At the end of the story, every ...
The operation was commanded by Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Zhukov and initiated by the Soviet Ministry of Defense. [8] At 9:33 a.m. on 14 September 1954, a Soviet Tu-4 bomber dropped a 40- kilotonne (170 TJ) [ 3 ] atomic weapon—an RDS-4 bomb, which had been previously tested in 1951 at the Semipalatinsk Test Site [ 3 ] [ 9 ] —from ...

Operation Dominic was a series of 31 nuclear test explosions ("shots") with a 38.1 Mt (159 PJ) total yield conducted in 1962 by the United States in the Pacific. [1] This test series was scheduled quickly, in order to respond in kind to the Soviet resumption of testing after the tacit 1958–1961 test moratorium.
The series included Touchstone Kearsarge, a joint US-Soviet test as part of the Joint Verification Experiment (JVE). The JVE's purpose was to provide yield data to both parties about each other's nuclear test sites so that accurate remote measurements could be taken to verify each other's compliance with the Threshold Test Ban Treaty (TTBT).
The Soviet Union's K project nuclear test series [1] (Russian: Операция «К», romanized: Operatsiya "Ka") was a group of five nuclear tests conducted in 1961–1962. These tests followed the 1961 Soviet nuclear tests series and preceded the 1962 Soviet nuclear tests series.
