We hear a lot about the United State's methods of protecting the public in case of a nuclear attack (building fallout shelters, production of a vast number of public information films, 'duck and cover' etc.), but what was it like for the public in Russia? Were their methods of protection the same or vastly different? And how did the government actually spread this information to the public?
You might find these threads useful:
The short summary is that they did (post-Stalin) have public fallout shelters (not private ones like the US encouraged), they did have Civil Defense messaging and classroom courses dedicated to it, and they basically used similar methods (except with much more emphasis on state-built shelters, versus the US emphasis on private individual shelters).
