Between two and three times more die of cancer than anywhere else in the Soviet Union. The proportion of deaths of esophageal cancer is the highest in the world, according to specific surveys conducted by the Soviets in northeastern Siberia.

According to scientists Vladimir Lupandine and Ebdokia Gaer, lung cancer in the local population has tripled in the past twenty years and has doubled leukemia and stomach tumors. The forms of cancers are changing rapidly, as bone, cartilage, and thyroid tumors are becoming more and more present.

The reproduction of cancer seems to be due to the outdoor nuclear tests carried out in the Zemlia Republic of the Soviet Union, in the Arctic, in the years 1950-1960. Then, among other things, the 60 megatons (400 times more powerful than Hiroshima) bomb exploded.

The people most affected by cancer are those dedicated to the culture of the reindeer. In fact, the foods they obtain from this animal and the snow deer live eating mosses with high concentrations of radioactivity. According to the radiologists of Leningrad, those who feed on meat or reno milk contain 210 leads ten or twenty times more than the others and 137 cessions a hundred times more. This makes the life expectancy of the Txujotka 45 years, the lowest in the world.
