Moreover, it underscores how industrialization and new machinery have allowed the USSR to strengthen both its economic power and its defenses. Part 1 of a 2 part series, this portion of the film depicts how the civil defense utilize this machinery during rescue and evacuation operations following an explosion or attack. The film features footage of 70s-era Soviet trucks like the MAZ-5335 truck with crane attachment, BelAZ 256 B, and ZIL-130 AP-3 (130)-148A fire truck 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.
