It's referred to in the novel The Lost Cult and in the level Kazakhstan - Project Carbonek in Tomb Raider Legend. Also, a name of a level is The Cold War in The Golden Mask, although the game is set to Melnikov Island, Alaska.
In The Lost Cult
The character named Lancaster Urdmann is a former arms-dealer and Cold War military financier, who nowadays collects and sells antiquities.
In Tomb Raider Legend
Lara infiltrates a military base in Kazakhstan and stumbles to a secret Soviet laboratory that was dedicated early in the Cold War to investigate the paranormal.
Alister has his moment to shine by finding obscure references suggesting that more answers might be found in Kazakhstan. A secret Soviet laboratory was dedicated to investigating the paranormal early in the Cold War, and judging by how quickly and savagely the lab was shut down and covered up by the KGB, indications are that the
relics they found were indeed what Lara is searching for. Only Lara isn't the only one who's learned of the site, and she braces herself for what might turn out to be a very uncomfortable reunion.
