C. THERE ARE GOOD INDICATIONS THAT, IN AT LEAST SOME PARTS OF THE
SOVIET UNION, THE ROXXXXXIN POPULATION WAS VERY MUCH AWARE OF THE SOVIET
NUCLEAR TESTS AND APPREHENSIVE OVER THE FALL?OUT HAZARD. KNOWLEDGE
OF THE TESTS WAS SPREAD BY WORD-OF?MOUTH AND WE THINK THE GOVERNMENT'S
SUPPRESSION OF INFORMATION TENDED TO STIMULATE AN EXAGGERATED REACTION.
