The Soviets built the most powerful nuclear bomb ever tested

The answer is True.

Explanation

They built the Tsar Bomba, the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated on Earth in 1961. It produced a blast equivalent of 50 megatons of TNT, which is roughly 3300 times stronger than the Hiroshima bomb. Fortunately it wasn't used to attack anyone and was just a political show of strength during the Cold War.
