- Abstract
- Documents the Semipalatinsk Polygon in northeastern Kazakhstan — the Soviet Union's primary nuclear testing site where over 450 nuclear and chemical weapons tests were conducted between 1949 and 1989. Examines landscape transformation through crater lakes and reinforced concrete structures, and the ongoing health effects on local communities who were used as unwitting test subjects.
