ai6yr, 
When I see people worrying about WW III and nuclear war, this quote (usually attributed falsely to Khrushchev) comes to mind: (from Nikolay Chukovsky)
"А те из вас, кто останется в живых, позавидуют мертвым!"
"Those of you who will be still alive will envy the dead"
i.e. forget about any real preparation you can do for that kind of thing (or war, for that matter).
(Although, one wonders if they did a remarkably good job of timing the launch of the "Fallout" TV series).
