Missile silo program looks at Cold War, current issues




Image if someone had told you during the Cold War that a Russian would be coming to Wall to discuss propaganda and nuclear weapons.

That will happen Thursday, July 31, in a free program offered by the Minuteman Missile National Historic Site. Summer intern Egor Prokofyev, a journalism student from Saratov, Russia, will discuss the how Russian and U.S. citizens portrayed each other during the Cold War and the current specter of potential nuclear conflict.

The program begins at the Buffalo Gap National Grasslands Visitor Center in Wall at 8 p.m. The group will caravan to the Minuteman silo site. Participants are advised to dress for cool weather and to bring a flashlight.
