Vladivostok

From Turtledove

Vladivostok is Russia's largest port city on the Pacific Ocean and the administrative center of Primorsky Krai. It is situated at the head of the Golden Horn Bay not far from Russia's border with China and North Korea. It is the home port of the Russian Pacific Fleet.

Vladivostok was destroyed by the United States with a sunbomb in retaliation for the Soviet Union's destruction of Tokyo in 1953.

The incident threatened to escalate into full-out war, but the intervention of German Chancellor Erich von Manstein and the death of Joseph Stalin prevented that.
