'Of course we thought about our counterparts in the West... but they did their jobs and we did ours.' Wladimir (ex-USSR Strategic Rocket force combat crew member). An exploration of the parallels between Soviet/CIS and US nuclear weapons and launch facilities, past and present, through photographic details. Comparisions of the designs and approaches expose the sides ethnologically and the minutia are symbolic of greater political meaning. A humanised perspective and palpability reveal our complacency in addressing an ongoing, if psychological, war. This year the Doomsday Clock is 2 minutes closer to midnight than the year of the Cuban missile crisis.
