The Soviet Union conducted a number of high altitude nuclear tesst with multiple megaton tonnage. The effects on communities nearby where studied and EMP damage was not as massive as currently being depicted.

It was that time period, right? I've forgotten, when did Russians stop doing above ground test - do you know?

What was eventually learned from these tests was that the real key to EMP is the enhancement of the production of gamma radiation. A Kiloton range weapon enhanced to produce gamma rays will create a larger emp than the megaton weapons of the test era.
