Riga – what to do during a nuclear attack?

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

The interior of the place where I’m staying is made of found old soviet materials. Old posters which explain the procedure of what to do – and obviously what you shouldn’t do – during a nuclear attack. The European procedure of preparing their citizens for such a attach are hilarious and since I’m unable to read Russian, I can only imagine the Soviet equivalent.
