Arriving in the 177th region, which city should a traveler be the first to visit? Naturally, Moscow is the capital of the Motherland. This is the largest city in Russia. In addition to Moscow, tourists often visit one of Russia's million-plus cities - Chelyabinsk (region 174). Its distinguishing features can be called a large number of nuclear facilities, which to this day are conducting various studies in the field of nuclear energy, as well as the disposal of nuclear waste. The presence of such objects leads to the fact that some territory around them is contaminated with radiation, and the area of the Mayak chemical plant is considered to be the most dangerous place on Earth due to radiation.
