  Tsar Bomba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tsar Bomba was too large to fit entirely within the bomb bay of the Tu-95, the largest Soviet bomber of the day.
The Tsar Bomba was the culmination of a series of very high yield thermonuclear weapons designed by the USSR and USA (e.g., the Mark-17[2] and B41) during the 1950s.
Soviets restarted their tests two months before Tsar Bomba, and there was no de-jure moratorium in place at the time (the USA had already announced that it considered itself free to resume testing after further notice).

The cannonballs on display by the Tsar Pushka were never intended for use, and are in fact of a larger diameter than the cannon will accept.

I always associated the cannon with Ivan--even though it was forged after his death on the order of Tsar Theodore I, Ivan's son--because of the grandiose nature of the gun, a perfect expression of the grandiose nature of Ivan's reign.
The Tsar Kolokol is near the Tsar Pushka.
Tsar Ivan and son had a not-so-good relationship, and during one of their disputes over the treatment of the son's wife (Ivan had challenged her dress and beat her so badly that she suffered a miscarriage), Ivan struck his son with his staff on the head; the son died a few days later.
