"Igor Adabashev discussed many of the same projects in his book Global engineering (1966). Referring to the proposal to melt the polar ice by building a dam across the Bering Strait, Adabashev declares that “What mankind needs is war against cold, rather than a 'cold war'.” He foresaw a new global hydrologic era 'of gigantic dams and dykes, pumping stations capable of handling entire seas, and other facilities which [would] 'trigger' various meteorological processes. We shall work out a better 'heating system' for our planet, better able to serve all five continents.'

Spencer Weart’s book, The Discovery of Global Warming (2008) also contains a similar indictment of the Russian Stalinist attitude, although he points out that some of these fantasies were opposed by some leading Russian scientists. Weart also states that the USSR like the USA After 1945 engaged in weather modification – for example, presidential candidate John F. Kennedy remarked that the idea of warming Siberia was worth exploring as a joint project with the Soviets. Russian leaders entertained “a more feasible scheme... to spread particles in the atmosphere, or perhaps directly on the ground. Beginning around 1961, Budyko and other scientists speculated about how humanity might alter the global climate by strewing dark dust or soot across the Arctic snow and ice. The soot would lower the albedo (reflection of sunlight), and the air would get warmer. Spreading so much dust year after year would be prohibitively expensive. But according to a well-known theory, warmer air should melt some snow and sea-ice and thus expose the dark underlying soil and ocean water, which would absorb sunlight and bring on more warming. So once dust destroyed the reflective cover, it might not re-form.”
