  • City 40, or what is today known as Ozersk, is a closed city in Russia that the Soviet Union created during the Cold War. City 40 didn't appear on any maps until 1991, allowed no outsiders to enter, and for a long time, no insiders were allowed out. It wasn't until very recently that the Western world has even become aware of Ozersk, and it took a brave documentary crew sneaking cameras through the heavily guarded gates for any footage of the city to escape.

    It's clearly as bad or worse than Chernobyl. The primary difference being time/era. Chernobyl, despite so many soviet attempts, couldn't be hidden. All the horrors of Mayak date back to a time when a lot more could be concealed and was.

    Well, as you ask for subjects for new videos, here goes one: the true history of how the idea for the Original Kung Fu TV series *was not* stolen from Bruce Lee. Yup, there were different degrees of racism involved in the events, but the chronology of how Spielman-Friedlander wrote the first script for a film feature and it ended up as a TV series starring David Carradine because he was a better actor for that role is well documented in Matthew Polly's "Bruce Lee: A Life," and even in Wikipedia. It's a quite interesting story.
