The Most Polluted Spot In History

It all started in the mid-1940's in the USSR. A sprawling plutonium production complex was built in the southern Ural mountains. In the zeal of the Cold War, things got out of hand. In another 250 years or so, things will be better.

If the per capita number of trial lawyers was as high in the USSR/Russia as it is in the USA, the government wouldn't have much money left after all the litigation was settled with the thousands of victims.
