Atomic Heart revolves around a KGB agent dispatched to investigate Facility 3826, a top-secret network of city-sized research centers and factories scattered across an alternate-history Soviet Union. The perils players encounter in the game – killer robots, bio-weapons, zombies – are fantastical, but the concept of hidden research cities is very much real. Naukograds – literally “Science Cities” – were closed communities hidden from the world at large, built by Gulag labor and permanently staffed with scientists working on nuclear technology, biological warfare, spaceflight, and other military pursuits. Many of these closed cities are still running today under the current Russian Federation, sealed away from the outside world…
Scientific and technological progress in the USSR was often at the mercy of secret police and paranoid Party bureaucrats more concerned with ideology than reality. Sometimes, this hamstrung genuine technological innovations – like computer scientist Anatoly Ivanovich Kitov’s attempt to create the Internet thirty years early.
