Kuzkinamat (Slioka, Кузькинамать, Царь-бомба) is generic name of the Soviet nuclear weapon designed to "release from bourgeoisie" the USA and the Western Europe (together with population, of course).

The energy of Kuzkinamat is estimated to be of order of \(10^{15}\) Joule, roughly equivalent of some hundred kilotons of "conventional" explosive (TNT). [1]

As other mass-destruction weapon, Kuzkinamat is not selective with respect to targets, so, it is qualified as barbarian instrument.

The Sloika, or “layer cake,” is the informal name for the Soviet Union’s first thermonuclear bomb. Although its casing was roughly similar in shape and size to Fat Man, the US atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, in World War II, the Soviet bomb was 20 times as powerful: It detonated with the explosive equivalent of 400 kilotons of TNT. .. The successful airburst of the RDS-37 on 22 November 1955 sounded the death knell of the RDS-6sd and, in time, all other Sloikas.
