The city wasn’t put on maps and in the official Soviet census, its residents did not exist
The city, which is now called Ozersk, was once codenamed City-40 (or Chelyabinsk-40 and Chelyabinsk-65 in later years). It was the birthplace of the Soviet nuclear weapons program and is now known to be one of the most contaminated places on the planet. Yet, many of the city’s residents continue living there despite the atrocious health hazards. Since being founded in 1947, Ozyorsk has been surrounded with double barbed-wire fences and monitored by armed guards as it was built around the Mayak nuclear factory.

As if you've seen "any others" back then and are able to compare. Fat propaganda is so fat nowadays.

First reactor has been started June 19, 1948. Where did the radioactive material come from before that day?

How contaminated actually? Who did the measurements? When? With what equipment? Boredpanda didn't care to cite any reliable sources. Neither did you.
Why don't you talk about "releasing large amounts of radioactive material" over Hiroshima and Nagasaki? They didn't even get "shops abundant with food".
