Under Glasnost, a number of Russian secret cities were opened a bit to allow scientists working under contract to Multilateral donor organizations in order to provide technical support to the USSR. They were, according to all accounts, technologically backward, inefficient and dangerous to humans and the environment.
I don't know what has happened since then, but I really don't trust these kinds of documentaries to explain the situation accurately. They are dominated by conspiracy theories where, in many cases, lack of scientific knowledge, management stupidity and bureaucratic inertia have been the main culprits.
But I do hope this one, gets it right.

Those old early 50s Russian tubes we all like so much were produced in closed cities in the USSR.
Better get out your geiger counters!
