Moreover, it underscores how industrialization and new machinery have allowed the USSR to strengthen both its economic power and its defenses. Part 2 of a 2-part film, this portion of the film depicts how the civil defense utilizes various models of industrial and military vehicles to help with repairing and restoring an effected area, from restoring electrical lines to clearing contaminated farmland. The film features footage of 70s-era Soviet trucks like the ZIL-130 SKP-9MV field command truck, LTZ T-40A tractor, and ZIL-MMZ-555 pick-up among others. Civil defense was a division of the Soviet government that oversaw a system of measures used to protect people and material assets in the USSR in the case of hostile attacks and ecological or technological disasters, in addition to how to prepare for such scenarios. These preparatory measures included sheltering, evacuation, and first aid. Film opens (0:09).
