Following a nuclear explosion killing five scientists in early August, the spotlight has been thrust on Russian cities the Government doesn't want you to know about. Here's a brief look at them.

It's thought there are about 40 closed cities in Russia, though it's suspected there are others whose very existence is highly classified.

First established in the 1940s, closed cities — officially known by the acronym ZATO in Russian — are most often associated with either military installations or major research centres and are used to house employees and their families. It's been a closed city since 1946, when it was renamed Arzamas-16 and its location was removed from all unclassified maps.
