Chagan nuclear test, 1965. The text above the image says in Russian: "Semipalatinsk nuclear range".

Two sources from 1995 (Richard Rhodes, Dark Sun and David Holloway, Stalin and the Bomb) have mistakenly labeled this picture as being of the first Soviet atomic bomb, "Joe-1". It is, however, clearly a plowshares shot, and looks very little like other confirmed pictures of "Joe-1".
