Nuclear close calls and the moments the CPUSSR was genuinely concerned

and then there were regular Wednesday PolitInform briefs by the school's Communist Party representative, in our case the deputy principal. She told us about the US unable to control its nuclear weapons and bombers, suffering incidents. We smirked, assuming creative propaganda, in hindsight the Soviets' sore feelings about aviation. But the Party propaganda was correct about the incidents, which I easily checked. This is serious stuff in addition to the nuclear weapon testing, releasing contamination.
