NATO’s top brass decided to deploy a missile defence system aimed at protecting Europe, but their plan to place it in former Warsaw Pact countries right on Russia’s border raised the alarm in Moscow, leading it to consider countermeasures. So the reset in US-Russia relations announced by Washington and supported by Moscow is now in jeopardy.
The town of Svetly, 800 km away from Moscow, is shrouded in secrecy. Its exact population is unknown, and a special pass is required to enter. One of Russia’s twelve Strategic Missile Force divisions is stationed here.
All of its residents – army officers and their families – are involved in some way in maintaining more than forty missile silos. These ordinary people have an extraordinary mission – taking care of the world’s most formidable weapons: Russia’s nuclear deterrent.
