All too real.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_city

“There are currently 42 publicly-acknowledged closed cities in Russia with a total population of about 1.5 million people. 75% are administered by the Russian Ministry of Defence, with the rest being administered by the Russian Federal Atomic Energy Agency, formerly the Ministry for Atomic Energy (Minatom).[2] Another 15 or so closed cities are believed to exist, but their names and locations have not been publicly disclosed by the Russian government.”

“With Russian coffers swollen in recent years with profits from the country’s high-priced natural gas and oil reserves, however, the closed cities have begun to see their federal funding return and their agendas fill with new civilian scientific missions—especially in support of Moscow’s aggressive plans to become a major builder and exporter of nuclear energy-related technologies.”

The communist sympathizers in the anti-nuke movement are going to cry. Not.
