First Soviet atomic bomb test (1949)
On the Stalin’s Soviet Union map as “The first Soviet bomb”
29 Aug 1949 — On the steppe west of Semipalatinsk in Kazakhstan, the Soviet Union tested its first atomic bomb, years earlier than Western intelligence had expected. Beria ran the project, prisoners built much of it, and espionage supplied the first device’s design.
