Engineers assemble a rocket at the Yuzhmash factory in eastern Ukraine. Founded during World War II to help the Red Army defeat the Nazis, it went on to develop many of the Soviet Union’s most powerful ballistic missiles. When TIME visited Yuzhmash last October, we were greeted by the sight of a missile code-named "Satan," which was once capable of orbiting the earth and, at Moscow’s command, dropping a hail of nuclear warheads on its target. "This was our pride," says Vladimir Platonov, the factory’s in-house historian. "We kept the Americans up at night." But the end of the Cold War made such weapons seem unnecessary. Under pressure from the U.S. and Russia, Ukraine agreed in 1994 to give up the arsenal of nuclear warheads it inherited from the Soviet Union. It also pledged to disarm the ballistic missiles meant to carry those warheads. For the cause of global disarmament, this was a breakthrough. For Yuzhmash, it was a disaster. Thousands of its engineers lost their jobs as the state’s demand for missiles dried up. Today the factory makes tractors and trolley buses to make ends meet. What rockets it still builds are intended to launch satellites into orbit. Read this week's cover story, on how North Korea built a nuclear arsenal on the ashes of the Soviet Union, on TIME.com.
