A minor note - 10 of the SS-17s at Yedrovo were loaded with communications satellites for the Perimetr "Dead Hand" system.
(The USAF correspondingly had 8 Minuteman II's carrying Emergency Rocket Communications System satellites.)

I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...
