Here's some information about Russia's nuke targetting. Some of it is out of date, but worth a look. (Found this on TB 2000 forum)

U.S. Target List...in a Full Scale Nuclear War

The Soviet strategy for nuclear war is much different than ours. For a first strike the general plan would be to send in submarine launched missiles first. With a flight time of about 20 minutes to their farthest targets they could take out command and control, sub bases (where at any given time a large percentage of our missle boats are in port), SAC bases (and airports where bombers and tankers may have been dispersed ), and air bursts over our own missile fields. The air bursts would keep our own missiles from being launched while their own "silo busters" would come chugging over the North Pole from their land based ICBM's and dig up our missile fields. The location of our missile fields is of special interest to anyone planning on trying to deal with radioactive fallout. Air bursts such as was used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki produce suprisingly little fallout compared with what would be produced by ground bursts on our missile fields and other "hard targets".
