Furthering the problem, the Kazakh Government that fought so hard to stop the testing and gain independence from the Soviet Union 20 years ago, has turned its back on the villagers, leaving them forgotten and fending for themselves on the vast Kazakh Steppe. Those that live near this area everyday and battle with high Cancer rates, Leukemia, deformations, irradiated food, irradiated water and even irradiated DNA which passes on from generation to generation.
