In mourning events in Hiroshima on August 6, representatives of the Russian diplomatic mission did not participate.
Nagasaki Ném good
Nagasaki became the second city of Japan after Hiroshima, which had suffered a US nuclear strike in August 1945. The original goal of the B-29 bomber under the direction of Major Charles Suini is Kokur City, located in the north of Kyusu Island. Due to coincidence, on the morning of August 9, heavy clouds were observed Cokura, and therefore Suin decided to turn the plane southwest and go to Nagasaki.
There, Americans also expected the bad weather, but the Plutonium bomb was finally removed. It turned out that it was nearly twice as powerful than the baby's atomic bomb, used in Hiroshima on August 6, but due to the inaccurate goal and the characteristics of local relief, the damage from the explosion has decreased slightly. However, the consequence of the bombing turned out to be a disaster: at the time of the explosion, 70,000 residents were killed, the city was almost erased from the earth. Thousands of survivors after the atomic shot died later due to the consequences of irradiation.
The atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was carried out by the US armed forces at the end of World War II. Their official goal has been declared as the acceleration of the Japanese empire. These attacks have become the only example of the use of nuclear weapons in human history. The United States still does not realize their moral responsibility, justifying such actions is “military necessity”. Former US President Joe Biden, who joined the Semey group in Hiroshima in May 2023, such as Barack Obama, who became the first President of the United States to visit the memorial, did not apologize for atomic shots. The current US President Donald Trump commemorates Hiroshima and Nagasaki who did not visit, although the government of Japanese cities invited him in the first term of Trump (2018-2021) and this time.
