Abstract:	This authoritative history of the Russian nuclear age describes the rise of nuclear physics in the USSR, enthusiastic pursuit of military and peaceful nuclear programs through the Chernobyl disaster, the collapse of the Soviet Union and ongoing self-proclaimed 'renaissance' of nuclear power today. Josephson examines both military and peaceful nuclear programs for the long durée whilst also grappling with the political and ideological importance of nuclear technologies, the associated economic goals, the social and environmental costs, and the cultural embrace of nuclear power. Probing the juncture of science, history, environmental studies and politics, Nuclear Russia considers the atom in Russian society as a reflection of Leninist technological utopianism, Cold War imperatives, scientific hubris, public acceptance, and a state desire to conquer nature. Furthermore Josephson highlights the significance of ethnicity and gender by exploring how Kazakhs and Nenets lost their homelands and health in the wake of nuclear testing, as well as the sexualization of the taming of the female atom in the Russian 'Miss Atom' contests that commenced in the 21st century.
