The Soviets tested their first weapon in 1949. And they didn't invent it themselves; spies gave it to them; they were later found and executed.
They actually didn't steal it, it was created in 1947 under The Soviet weapons program under the leadership of physicist Igor Vasilievich Kurchatov, and then tested fr the frst time in 1949.

How did new weapons turn the former Allies into rivals after World War 2?
That was caused by the development and deployment by the US of the atomic bomb and a little later, of the hydrogen bomb. Stalin had quickly realized that this development had put the US at a huge advantage, militarily and therefore also politically. Russia's race to develop an atomic bomb of its own was one of the major triggers of the Cold War and the arms race that developed between the Western Allies and the Soviet Union.
Who invented the Israeli Atomic Bomb?
There is no unique Israeli atomic bomb. Once developed in the US various countries have used the same technology to put together their own bombs. Data theft, shared information and good engineering is all that it takes.
What were countries involved in the atomic bomb?
The primary countries involved in the development of the atomic bomb during World War II were the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada, through the Manhattan Project. Germany and Japan were also significant, as they had their own nuclear research programs. After the war, the Soviet Union developed its own atomic bomb, successfully testing it in 1949, furthering the nuclear arms race during the Cold War. Other nations, such as France and China, later developed their own nuclear capabilities.
What effect do you think possession of the atomic bomb will have on the role of the US in the postwar world?
Countires will have a race to build atomic bombs of their own, or fear the U.S. but only one is highly likely.

Was the drop of the atomic bomb justify?
This is a massively complicated moral question. You will have to develop your own opinion.
Why was Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were charged convicted and executed?
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were charged, convicted, and executed in 1953 for espionage, specifically passing atomic secrets to the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The information they provided allegedly helped the Soviets develop their own atomic bomb. Despite international appeals for clemency, the Rosenbergs were put to death in the electric chair.
How did the atomic bomb start the cold war?
The dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the United States in 1945 heightened tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union, leading to the start of the Cold War. The Soviet Union saw the bomb as a threat to its own security and began its own nuclear weapon program, escalating the arms race and competition between the two superpowers.
Who helped the Soviets develop an atomic bomb?
The spies that gave the plans to the Soviets during the war:Ted HallKlaus Fuchsthe RosenburgsGreenglassetc.But the Soviets probably did not need this as they had their own team of scientists that could figure this out. The spies probably only sped up development by a year or two.Igor KurchatovYuli KharitonYakov ZeldovichGeorgii FlyorovAbram Fedorovich IoffeAndrei Sakharovetc.
How did Soviets learn how to make the atomic bomb?
Spies in the Manhattan Project provided them with detailed plans of both the MK-I uranium gun design and the MK-III plutonium implosion design. However by the time the Soviets had been able to manufacture enough plutonium to build their version of the MK-III, their own scientists had designed a far better higher yield atomic bomb that used less plutonium than the MK-III. However Beria and Stalin insisted that the Soviet nuclear scientists must test the design provided by the spies, not their own better design to prove that the spies had not been providing disinformation about the atomic bomb.
When the Soviet Union exploded an atomic bomb the us response was?
When the Soviet Union exploded an atomic bomb, the US response was to increase its own arsenal and its own testing of nuclear weapons.
What did the Atomic Bomb lead to?
The dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki led to the end of World War II. It also sparked a global arms race as countries raced to develop their own nuclear weapons. Additionally, it raised ethical and moral concerns about the use of such powerful and destructive weapons.
Would giving soviets the atomic bomb secrets prevented the cold war would it have evened out the playing field?
No, because the soviets already had all the atomic bomb secrets even before the bombs were dropped on Japan! The secrets were handed to them by spies at Los Alamos who were designing the bombs!The only thing that delayed a soviet atomic bomb from 1945 to 1949 when they detonated their copy of Fatman (built directly from stolen Fatman plans) was the time it took to build the industrial infrastructure needed to make plutonium and the other bomb components.Another thing to realize is there are no real secrets about nuclear weapons. It is all physics that any good physicist can figure out. The soviets actually had their own independent atomic bomb design by 1947 that was better than the stolen Fatman, but Beria would not let the atomic scientists build and test it until after the stolen Fatman design was tested (and nothing could be tested until 1949 as stated above). Both the US and USSR independently developed and tested hydrogen bombs only 1 year apart!
What does the cold war and world war and the atomic bomb have in common?
at the end of the world war (WW2) the atomic bomb was used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After WW2 the atomic bomb was further developed and "was used as a silent threat against USSR" until 1949 when they had their own atomic bomb. From that year there was an arms race which played a major part in the Cold War
Will there be another atomic bomb?
The atomic bomb has been replaced by the nuclear bomb. This type of weapon was first developed by the US in the early 1950's. Soon afterwards, the Soviet Union also created their own style of nuclear weapons and bombs.
How did Russia get atomic bomb and When did they make it?
Russia developed its own atomic bomb by conducting extensive research and espionage on the American nuclear program. They successfully tested their first atomic bomb on August 29, 1949, becoming the second country to possess nuclear weapons after the United States.
What nation did not delvelop its own atomic bomb during the cold war?
North Korea but they are building now.
