Cultural effects of a nuclear war.

the Mona Lisa got nuked

it depends if they get her Louver bassment in Time
with luck it survives the War to be found in 1990's..

the War will bring destruction on Human Culture and History artefacts

City like Berlin, London, Frankfurt, Moscow, New York, Tokyo, Paris, Rom, Washington D.C are gone
with them Libraries, Art museums, historical document collection, Technical museums etc.

Mankind will lost Valuable information of the history
of course we will know that they signed United States Declaration of Independence in U.S. History books
but the orginal is lost forever !

also gona be lost information on Middle Ages, Ancient Rome and Greece and ancient Egypt
because the artefacts were also in Museums of the destroyd Citys...
 
a big question are unanswered here, the year of war, if it's 1962 the USA loses a few cities and all of the USSR is done for, from 1970 on a USA Vs USSR/Russia nuclear war would end both countries killing 90+% of their populations and Europe as well, any given year or crisis will change what is hit and how hard. of course we're all think that any nuclear war would be between the USA and USSR, but it could between the USSR and PRC or between the USA and PRC over ROC, Israel in Yom Kippur War, India and Pakistan, South Africa vs all it's neighbors, North Korea today losing it's shit

Not quiet, soviet--union already had effective anti-aircraft missiles in large numbers (dozens of sites with dozens of missiles around Moscow alone). One was enough to shoot down an U-2 plane, a much bigger and heavier target would be far easier.
Also, a number of soviet H bombes where already mounted on missiles. There was not much of a missile-gap as some believed but there was still enough to thoroughly destroy the 100 biggest cities in the continental US, minimum.
