From an interview with A. Arbatov: “The Americans will begin to modernize their strategic nuclear forces after a year. For more than two decades, they plan to spend almost a trillion dollars on this. Alas, today few people really imagine what a nuclear war is. That only in the first hours in it there will be million. And then, within a few weeks, it will die and the rest of the world - this is proved by any computer models.

There was a very dangerous psychological shift: the years that passed after the Cold War had supplanted the nuclear war from people's consciousness as a real threat. The third world began to seem some kind of abstraction. Now, when a military-political confrontation has returned in relations between Russia and the West and, above all, a taboo on the use of nuclear weapons-in the psychology of the new generation and politicians, the military, and the media, and the general public-as if it had disappeared.

There was a feeling that now you can play nuclear muscles, threaten “unreasonable partners”, and in case of aggravation of the conflict, even pointily, defiantly use nuclear ammunition for some kind of enemy military facilities to cool his ardor. Nobody canceled the effect of the nuclear winter: after the impact on military-industrial objects, huge spaces will inevitably begin to burn out, a fiery storm will cover millions of square kilometers, an incredible amount of ash will rise into the air, blocking the Earth from sunlight.
