Severodvinsk: The city where nuclear-powered submarines are built
Today we are going to visit a very non-touristy place, the city of Severodvinsk, which is the center of the nuclear shipbuilding industry in Russia. Severodvinsk is a relatively young city. It was founded only in 1936, after the Soviet government built a shipyard here.
Later, in the early 50’s, the authorities decided that this city on the White Sea is an ideal place for the construction of nuclear submarines.
Severodvinsk developed rapidly, and the city’s population grew because of the arrival of specialists from all over the Soviet Union. To maintain secrecy, Severodvinsk became a closed city.
