Magnitogorsk

Magnitogorsk is a Soviet city in the Urals built by Stalin in the 1920s and 30s to serve as a giant steel manufacturing center to support Soviet industrialization. The city was targeted and destroyed by a Lizard atomic bomb after a Soviet bomb vaporized a Lizard army in Saratov in southern Russia. Stalin apparently considered the destruction of that army important enough to warrant losing a major industrial center on the scale of Pittsburgh or Detroit in the United States. The city was probably rebuilt after the war due to its overwhelming importance to the Soviet steel industry.
