Timeline

This is a **timeline** of events in the universe of *Atomic Heart*.

## 1932

* Kirov Scientific and Industrial Facility (Secret Factory #3826) is founded by Sechenov, to develop autonomous mechanical devices.

## 1936

* Polymer discovered by Dr. Dmitry Sechenov, guided by the idea of creating fluid information carriers and combining the properties of heavy water and silicon. The study of this unusual substance will radically affect the course of history.

## 1937

* The Research Institute of the Brain of the Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR starts the project "Man-Crowd", the purpose of which is to create a person of a new formation, free from the private and individual
* Vavilov, Zakharov, Korolyov, Kurchatov, Lebedev, Pavlov, Sechenov, Filimonenko, and Chelomey form the nucleus of the scientific team that will result in tremendous scientific advancement for the Soviet Union.

## 1939

* Sechenov and Filimoneko create the first Soviet Polymer-based hydrogen cell.
* The Soviet Union enters World War II against Nazi Germany.

## 1941

* Khlopin Radium Institute is moved to Moscow.

## 1942

* The F-1 nuclear reactor begins operation at Lab No. 2 of the Soviet Academy of Sciences.
* The Third Reich is forced into a defensive. Hitler orders the release of the Brown Plague, resulting in a pandemic that kills 150 million Soviet citizens *on top of 10 million casualties* already sustained in the war.

## 1943

* Facility 3826 is established, as part of a global Soviet-sponsored program of industrial and economic development.
* The RDS-1 nuclear bomb is tested at Semipalatinsk.

## 1944

* Pavlov Complex is founded.
* Obninsk Nuclear Power Plant starts up in Kaluga.
* The first MFU-27 is used to carry out sabotage missions in Nazi-controlled areas.

## 1945

* The Soviet Union drops the RDS-2 nuclear bomb on Berlin, ending World War II.

## 1946

* The first industrial robot with a tokamak engine is created by Sechenov.

## 1947

* Mass production of nuclear-powered planes and ships begins in the Soviet Union.

## 1948

* Maiden flight of the Icarus Platform, designed by the Chelomey Design Bureau.
* Successful launch of the Kollektiv 1.0 neural network. Robots begin successfully replacing humans in the workplace. Machines build cities, lay new logistics routes in the air and on the ground, help people in places of natural disasters and gradually become an integral part of the Soviet citizen's life. They are soon exported to Europe, as humanitarian aid.
* The Tsar of All Bombs at the Sukhoi Nos testing ground shifts the balance of the Cold War in the Soviet Union's favor.

## 1950

* Professor Dmitry Sechenov discovers Polymer Assimilative Adaptation, the ability of the substance to take root in the human body. This makes it possible to connect an interface device to a human user, paving the way for humans to access Kollektiv 1.0 directly and remotely.
* Chelomey Complex moved to the Icarus flying station.
* **March 1**: The Icarus Platform travels to the Red Square in Moscow.

## 1951

* **April 12**: First manned space flight, as Yuri Gagarin flies into space.

## 1953

* Status of Forester Village (also known as Settlement #22-15-18) was changed to the service settlement.

## 1954

* The Soviet lunar rover successfully gets to the moon and returns back with soil samples.
* Vavilov and Pavlov Complexes begin research in the field of adaptation of plants and animals to extraterrestrial atmospheres.
* Death of Joseph Stalin.
* Nikita Khrushchev becomes First Secretary of the Central Committee.
* US and Soviet Cold War intensifies

## 1955

* June 9 – Failure at Facility 3826, activation of robot combat program
* June 10 – The beginning of events
* June 12 – 13: Events of Atomic Heart take place.
	+ June 13 – Launch of the neural network Kollektiv 2.0
	+ June 13 – Universal polymerization

1. ↑ Exposition: "*The Kirov Scientific and Industrial Facility (Secret Factory #3826) was built in 1932 by Comrade Sechenov's research institute in order to develop autonomous mechanized devices (MFUs) for industrial construction and agriculture. In those years, during the period of industrialization and collectivization, our country was in need of workers. The facility was transferred to the Ministry of Construction in 1974, and it now manufactures robots for the oil, gas, and mining industries.*"
