Introduction
Our group has explored
the influence of Russian
nuclear weapons on
world history.

History of Russian
Nuclear Weapons
In the early 20th century, Russia actively
participated in the development of atomic
science. The scientific achievements of
Russian scientists, such as Igor
Kurchatov and Andrei Sakharov, played a
significant role in the creation of nuclear
weapons. In 1949, the Soviet Union
successfully conducted its first nuclear
explosion, leading to the beginning of an
arms race.

The Arms Race
The development of Russian
nuclear bombs and the
subsequent arms race between
the USSR and the USA profoundly
altered the geopolitical landscape
of the world. During the Cold War,
the presence of nuclear weapons
became a key factor in balancing
power and preventing open conflict
between the two superpowers.

Lessons from
the Cold War
The Cold War ended in the
early 1990s, but the lessons
learned from that period remain
relevant. One of the primary
lessons was the understanding
that nuclear weapons could
annihilate all of civilization and
that their use should be
avoided at all costs.

Contemporary Challenges
Today, Russia continues to possess
one of the most potent nuclear
arsenals in the world. Alongside other
nuclear states, it faces challenges in
disarmament and non-proliferation of
nuclear weapons. Russian policies
and culture play a significant role in
shaping its approach to these issues.

Conclusion
In conclusion of our presentation,
we would like to emphasize that
Russian nuclear weapons have
had a profound impact on world
history. They have made the world
more perilous and, at the same
time, underscored the importance
of international cooperation and
disarmament. Russian science
and culture continue to contribute
to addressing global challenges
and ensuring world security.
