Abstract

"Nuclear Russia: The Atom in Russian Politics and Culture" by Paul R. Josephson is a concise and informative book that provides an introduction to the history of the nuclear age in the USSR and post-Soviet Russia. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the development of nuclear weapons, arms control treaties, and the peaceful use of nuclear energy. It also explores the complex relationship between contemporary Russia and the Soviet legacy, particularly in light of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2014. While the book had to make some difficult decisions about what to include, it serves as a valuable entry point for those interested in understanding the role of Russia in the nuclear world.
