The Soviet atomic bomb had its own homeland, a closed military city in the Chelyabinsk region, which today is called Ozersk. In 1947, the first nuclear plant in the USSR, the Mayak Production Association, was built in Ozersk.

Later, the government began to resettle these settlements, but some villages were left in their original place.
