Very Interesting. The Urals would be a great place for such a structure too, I've always wondered why some regions of that area were closed off.

scary but awesome.

this reminds me of another reported machine that the soviets created..a massive death ray gun that shoots electricity. I saw a video that the space station took near Russia where they saw a ufo and then all of a sudden it flees off and a line of energy shoots up where the thing was located..pretty creepy.

Many people have confirmed that as real and it was actually based off stolen blue-prints from Nikola Tesla.

They said the "tunguska event" was caused by an early experimentation with this machine.

[Arkady Rossovich]

I don't think it was ever called a "Doomsday Machine".

Tunguska may have been an effect of Tesla's testing but certainly not the Russian model, that was probably not constructed until the early 50s, infact at the time of Tunguska the Czar still controlled Russia and it was mostly Farmers.

 

[Addendum]

President Merkin Muffley: But this is absolute madness, Ambassador! Why should you build such a thing?

Ambassador de Sadesky: There were those of us who fought against it, but in the end we could not keep up with the expense involved in the arms race, the space race, and the peace race. At the same time our people grumbled for more nylons and washing machines. Our doomsday scheme cost us just a small fraction of what we had been spending on defense in a single year. The deciding factor was when we learned that your country was working along similar lines, and we were afraid of a doomsday gap.

President Merkin Muffley: This is preposterous. I've never approved of anything like that.

Ambassador de Sadesky: Our source was the New York Times.

I was being facetious.

I feel as if that Doomsday Machine was to defeat the Borg not the Americas.
