Today, the world is facing a new challenge – the militarization of outer space. All communications and most types of weapons are provided and controlled from space. Military and dual–use satellites are a strategically important part of the modern confrontation, without which victory is unthinkable either on the battlefield or in the political arena. Should space remain peaceful? Will conflicts between states spread to near-Earth space? Who can counter these threats and how?

The creators of the new film will talk for the first time about how the battles for space and in space take place: starting with the history of nuclear explosions in the stratosphere and ending with the latest ways to destroy enemy satellites. For many years, this arms race between the two superpowers – the USSR (and later Russia) and the United States — remained secret. But it was she who made it possible to make scientific and technical breakthroughs and introduce mass inventions that changed the lives of millions of people. However, new players are now increasingly claiming a military presence in space. The authors of the film "Cosmos. The Nuclear Battlefield" will answer the question of how Russia maintains its leadership in this area.

The documentary film "COSMOS. THE NUCLEAR BATTLEFIELD will also be shown in the competition program of the Tsiolkovsky International Film Festival of Films and Programs about Space, which will be held in Kaluga and the Kaluga Region on April 12-16, 2025.
