Timing is everything. Has anyone thought about what would have happened if the meteor had touched down in the then U.S.S.R in the fifties or early sixties?

In the cold war days, irrespective of what superpower nation this space rock inflicted, the results could have been horrendous. Thanks to technology and an enlightened approach, this sort of thing, while terrible for a few, is not a catastrophe for the world.
