Dungeons are always mysterious, whether they are caves, karst faults, the vents of dormant volcanoes - or man-made burrows under granite slabs, basalt rocks and thousands of tons of concrete.
Man settled in caves from time immemorial, and in the atomic age he created a lot of man-made dungeons for himself - not just to live, but to survive. Underground bunkers can be called one of the most unique structures in the world. But building a bunker is half the battle: you have to do it covertly. The task is very difficult, given the scale and engineering complexity. Having built it, the secret must be kept. Not all bunkers are known - some are completely abandoned and hidden from the eyes of nature itself, while others operate and are kept even more secret.
Bunker in Samara
Stalin's bunker on the Volga is considered the deepest structure of the Second World War. Kuibyshev, as Samara was then called, was a reserve capital in case of the capture of Moscow - the Soviet government, the party apparatus and foreign missions were evacuated there. Stalin himself remained in Moscow throughout the war - he also had plenty of bunkers there. The Samara facility was built under a granite slab and is a miniature copy of the Aeroport metro station in Moscow. It lies at a depth of 37 meters (the depth of Hitler's Berlin bunker was 16 meters, and Winston Churchill's military office in London was located, in fact, in the basement of an administrative building). Stalin's bunker is not only reliably protected, but also very comfortable: the generalissimo's main office and rest room are almost the same as in the Kremlin.
Bunker-42
On Taganka there is an inconspicuous two-story mansion. There are no windows on the first floor - the house was built to hide a six-meter-thick concrete dome that covers a shaft that goes 60 meters deep. There, on the level circle line metro, there are four tunnels connected by passages. This is a reserve command post for Long-Range Aviation. It is now a museum of the Cold War. It can be reached by descending a staircase of 310 steps with a countdown of floors, admiring the corridors sheathed with steel plates with massive airtight doors. At the end of a fascinating tour, the lights go out, smoke appears, red emergency lighting turns on, and an intercom announces that a nuclear strike has been struck on the capital.
Underground city of Yamantau
Mount Yamantau, about which Lately there are a lot of fantastic rumors - the highest in the South Urals; however, the Ural ridge itself is very low. In the West, it is believed that the transformation of the mountain into a giant underground anthill began during the period of late stagnation. The Russian military does not comment on this. Connected to Yamantau Railway, the top of the mountain is carefully guarded. The main purpose of the object is either a secret military plant, or a spare residence of the president and government, and possibly an ammunition depot. Be that as it may, due to the distance from the borders, the mountain provides additional security. warhead storage
Underground, you can not only hide in case of big trouble, but also store a lot of useful things. For example, at the height of the Cold War, the Soviet Union, in violation of all international treaties prohibiting the deployment nuclear weapons beyond its borders, he created one of the storage facilities for warheads in a very picturesque corner of Czechoslovakia. This gave a huge advantage in the event of a war in the European theater of operations, but if the secret became a reality, the already flawed reputation of the USSR would be dealt a crushing blow. Even the Czechoslovak military were not allowed into the arsenal. Soviet military leaders lucky: the object was declassified only in the nineties. Submarine shelter
Even floating things can be stored underground. One of the most grandiose constructions of the Cold War era is the submarine shelter in Balaklava. Mount Tavros, in the depths of which it is located, consists of very durable marble-like limestone, and the thickness of the rock under the tunnels and channels is more than 100 meters. The object has the first category of anti-nuclear resistance - it is not afraid of a direct hit by a 100 kiloton bomb. At all times, issues of government and military communications were given paramount importance. With the onset cold war it was necessary to solve the problem of stable transmission of information even in the conditions of a nuclear conflict. For this, a system of fortified underground communication centers was created in the USSR. They ensured the transmission of orders from the supreme command to the western grouping of troops, located, among other things, in the countries Warsaw Pact. About one of these top-secret objects in the past will be discussed below.
It used to be one military unit, which included two communication nodes: receiving and transmitting. The transmitters were located in the forest near the village of Palaces of the Kamenetsky district, and the control point was in the village of Priozerny. Between them - 14 km. Each node was a three-story underground structure with autonomous life support systems, surrounded by a double perimeter with a Radian alarm system that even a hare could not run through.
In 1991, both facilities were planned to be modernized, like similar bunkers in Poland and Germany. They even brought part of the equipment to Kamenets, but after the Belovezhskaya agreements everything stopped, the equipment disappeared. Soon the military left the facility, taking secret devices and documentation to Russia. The receiving part was adapted for the reserve headquarters of civil defense. The military camp adjacent to the bunker, where during the war the headquarters of the armies of the Warsaw Pact countries was to be located, was rebuilt in 1999 into the Belaya Vezha republican sanatorium. In 2001, the civil defense headquarters left the walls of the facility, the bunker was transferred to the balance of the Ministry of Emergencies. Since then, he, in a mothballed state, is under round-the-clock protection. The state allocates money only for electricity, as well as for the salary of the commandant of the facility, 4 shift watchmen and an electrician on duty.
Thanks to the efforts of caring people, some of whom served here, like commandant A.A. Shorichev, a unique object managed to be saved from marauders. The transfer bunker, smaller in size, was waiting for a radically different fate. Its lower tier was flooded with groundwater, and the lack of protection led to complete looting. The reception center was originally built on high place, even at the lower level, the surrounding soil is dry, it is not threatened by flooding.
1. The main entrance to the bunker is covered from above with a small plywood house painted in camouflage. Ventilation kiosks are visible behind, with the help of which air was taken for supply ventilation of the facility. 
2. A concrete staircase is hidden inside the house. 
3. A memorial plaque is fixed on the wall in memory of the military builders of the Red Banner Belarusian Military District, who built the facility in 1968-1971. 
4. At the end of the stairs, the entrance to the facility is blocked by a massive security door (DS), which can protect against shock wave atomic explosion. Its weight is 3 tons. In order to get inside, it was necessary to pick up the phone and give the password to the sentry on the other side of the shutter. 
5. Behind the main door there is a second, slightly smaller DZG door - protective and hermetic. 
6. There was also a telephone on the wall here. 
7. There was a third telephone behind the second door. There is also a fire hydrant and a remote control responsible for the operation of pressure valves. 
8. Next was the system of lock chambers. Inside the object, pressure above atmospheric pressure was maintained - to protect against the penetration of chemical warfare agents. As the chambers passed, the pressure gradually increased. 
9. Long corridors with many bulkheads stretch further. Inside, the object resembles a submarine. It is divided into three floors, each with an area of 1200 m². 
10. The upper tier is almost completely occupied by information transmission systems. There is still a huge amount of radio equipment here, for example, R155P "Brusnika" main radio receivers. 
11. An antenna field was located around each bunker. Communication with antennas and nearby objects was carried out through cable lines. All cables were equipped with double hermetic sheaths, inside which increased pressure was maintained. Any damage to the cable was recorded by a manometer installed inside the bunker. This made it possible to quickly monitor the state of wired communication lines and timely troubleshoot. 
12. Information transmitted through various communication channels was transmitted to a huge linear-equipment room. The equipment of transmission systems with frequency distribution of channels (FCD) and a switching stand were located here. Each block was responsible for a separate channel. 
13. Separate secret data was encrypted in the classified communications equipment (SAS), and then issued to a separate SAS switch. Data that did not need to be encrypted was immediately transmitted to the long-distance switch. 
14. The operators brought the parameters of the signals to normal characteristics, allowing them to be transmitted further. On the counter is a cup with the inscription "To the best post of communication." 
15. For equipment diagnostics, special devices were provided, for the sake of ease of movement, they were placed on wheels. 
16. In a room with soundproof walls, a long-distance communication switch is located. Here subscribers were connected to each other. Mostly women worked. 
17. It was possible to contact from here with any point of the Soviet Union and with all satellite countries, even with Cuba. 
18. The diagram indicated the call signs of the nodes with which it was possible to get in touch. Not all of them, like Rubrika, were anti-nuclear bunkers. Here are a few that have been identified:
"Ruby"- Moscow, 1st communication center of the General Staff.
"Strait"- Vlasikha, the central command post of the Strategic Missile Forces.
"Grad"- Gomel.
"Globe"- Minsk, 62nd central communication center of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Belarus.
"Apricot"- Lviv, 63rd communication center of the Carpathian military district.
"Wizard"- settlement Kievets in the Minsk region, the command post of the Belarusian military district.
"Light Guide"- Bars tropospheric communication station No. 101 not far from Rubrika.
"Pheasant"- Brest, unprotected communication center
"Harpoon"- Smolensk, communications center of the General Staff.
"Reference point"- Orel, an unprotected communication center, The educational center signalmen. 
19. In order for all clocks of the object to show the same time, a clock station was provided. 
20. The exact time for all the clocks of the bunker was set by a duplicated system of mechanical clocks with an electromagnetic drive. 
21. In the mid-1980s, the system was replaced with new electronic equipment, the exact time signal began to come here via radio from external source. However, this system went out of order rather quickly, and we had to return to a more reliable old scheme. 
22. In peacetime, the garrison ate in the canteen of the military camp, food was brought to duty in thermoses. But in case of hostilities, a catering unit was provided. 
23. During the exercise, food was prepared in this kitchen. 
24. Nearby - a room for washing dishes. Manually, of course. 
25. Also at the facility were three freezers for food storage. 
26. The lower two tiers of the bunker are no longer connected in any way with data transfer, but are completely given over to systems that allowed them to exist autonomously for 2-3 weeks. 
27. Ventilation systems are located on the -2 floor. 
28. In total, there were 16 ventilation systems at the facility: supply, recirculation, exhaust, for breathing, for cooling appliances, etc. 
29. The air in each of the systems needed to be cleaned, cooled, dried or humidified. 
30. For the primary purification of the air coming from the surface, a cyclone filter was provided, in which the air was passed through a fine mesh drum, partially immersed in oil. 
31. In the event of the use of poisonous substances, ventilation through carbon filters was provided. 
32. The air used to cool the equipment was passed through a jet water stream in the air conditioner of refrigeration machines (KD-20). 
33. The machines provided the necessary temperature and humidity conditions (TVM) of the air. 
34. Motorized dampers have been installed on some systems. 
35. However, the automatic drive has always been duplicated by the manual drive. 
36. Depending on the mode in which the unit was, the dispatcher chose the mode of air supply. If it was impossible to take air from the surface, an autonomous supply of 4000 m³ was provided, stored in 96 special cylinders. 
37. Cylinders still maintain a pressure of 50 atmospheres, which protects them from rust. 
38. Numerous pipelines from the cylinders lead to an adjacent room. 
39. Here, with the help of a special shield, the air supply from the cylinders to the ventilation system was controlled. 
40. A compressor and two receivers are installed nearby to smooth out pressure pulsations. The air was previously passed through the dryer to protect the equipment from negative impact moisture. In the corner under the insulating cover there is an air humidity meter. 
41. The heaviest life support equipment was on the -3rd floor. 
42. Posters with diagrams of life support systems hang on the landing. 
43. All rooms on the technical floor were equipped with hermetic doors. 
44. There were several pumping stations at the site. The color of the water pipes corresponded to their purpose in the systems of the complex. Blue - water for drinking and household needs, red - fire extinguishing system. There were also electric heaters. Behind the wall of the hall there were reservoirs for storing water. 
45. Water was also used to cool cars. 
46. In addition, the facility had four of its own artesian wells. 
47. Household and fecal sewage was pumped in a small pumping station. 
48. To cool the water, refrigeration units operating on freon were provided. For water and freon, two containers are provided. 
49. The operation of the refrigerator was provided by two compressors, a receiver, a heat exchanger, and freon tanks. 
50. Each of the compressors was connected to a receiver - a pressure equalization tank. 
51. Water and freon were pumped through heat exchangers. 
52. The pressure gauges on the heat exchanger were equipped with fluorescent screens. 
53. The energy system of the complex was powered by a diesel generator. However, for the first 15 minutes of operation, the diesel engine could not support the required load, so three-machine units were used. In them, the generators that produced the operating voltage to power the systems of the complex were set in motion by either an alternating or direct current. The latter were powered by batteries located in the adjacent room. 
55. There were currents of several thousand amperes, so such huge switches were installed. 
56. The control panel is striking in its size and complexity. 
57. Batteries occupied a whole vast hall, another room was allocated for duplicated rectifier units (VUS), which ensured their charging. 
58.
59. The electrical system was controlled through the main switchboard (MSB). 
60. It was mounted on a platform suspended from the ceiling on shock absorbers. This made it possible to protect equipment and communications from failure in the event of seismic waves affecting the structure during a nearby nuclear explosion. 
61. Cabinets were arranged in the outer walls where spare parts were stored. 
62. Starting device for diesel generators (PUAS), one of three available. 
63.
64. Workplace duty shift operator. 
65. The holy of holies of the bunker - a room with three ship diesel generators with a capacity of 500 kilowatts each. 
69. They provided autonomous power supply to the facility and the military camp in case of failure of the power cable from the nearest substation. On one occasion, the site's generators even provided electricity to a neighboring district center with a population of 8,000. All three generators never worked at the same time, the system was always redundant. 
68. The main fuel reserves were stored in two 60 m³ tanks located in the ground behind the outer walls of the facility. Compressed air cylinders were used to start diesel engines. 
67. The air in them was pumped with this electric compressor. 
66. The pressure in the cylinders was controlled by manometers. 
70. Huge exhaust units were installed in the engine room, there was a constant recirculation of air. Exhaust gases were sent through special pipelines to cooling machines and removed from the facility. 
71. Management of all engineering systems of the complex was carried out from the control room. Almost the entire space in front of the console is occupied by a mnemonic diagram of ventilation systems, doors and hatches. 
72. On the right is a much more modest mnemonic diagram of the water supply system. 
73. There were jobs for two people: a dispatcher-technician and a dispatcher-communicator. 
74. Depending on the degree of combat readiness, the technician chose a certain mode of functioning of the structure, remotely issuing commands to the actuators of all engineering systems of the complex. 
75. For each of the modes of declared combat readiness, its own system configuration table was compiled. 
76. From one remote control, the dispatcher could control door locks, ventilation kiosk dampers, hermetic valves, filter and ventilation units, numerous water pumps, refrigerators, smoke removal systems, air pressure in individual rooms, each of the 16 ventilation systems. 
77. The signalman could call to any point of the object, where there were people on duty. 
78. The design of the control room, as well as the main switchboard, is a platform on suspended supports fixed in the ceiling. 
79. Control room - the most impressive room in the bunker, the last one examined. 
During the existence of the Soviet Union, bunkers in case nuclear war were distributed throughout the country. One of the largest such secret objects is "Object 221" or "Nora". This object was in fact an alternate command post. Black Sea Fleet, moreover, he actually had to be a spare only in peacetime. During the war, it was here that the command of the fleet was supposed to be located, and combat operations were controlled.
The largest building
The "Object 221" is located near Sevastopol, under the village of Morozovka. The highway that reaches this village continues, but the road is blocked, it is littered with stones, the road to literally of this word "dug over". Of course, such precautions are not accidental, it is thanks to such an obstacle course that anyone who really wants to get to the Reserve Command Post will be forced to walk, becoming an easy target for snipers who, in an emergency, were supposed to be on duty along the road.
Interestingly, for travelers who have lost their way, another version of the place to which the road leads has been prepared. "Object 221" was commonly called a stone quarry, and the workers who built it were also called it - they went to develop a stone quarry, that's all. The construction of this underground city began in 1977. The dimensions of the "Object 221" really stagger the imagination: its depth is more than 200 meters, four floors and two main entrances to the bunker are located at a great depth. The total area of this underground structure is seventeen and a half thousand square meters, in terms of area, this is the largest underground structure in the Crimea.
Invisible building
It seems incredible that the construction of "Object 221" was carried out in complete secrecy. Construction began in 1977 and lasted about 15 years, work continued until 1992. In 1992, the project was "frozen", while its readiness was ninety percent. All that had to be done in order to complete the project was to bring in the equipment necessary for life in the bunker and carry out facing work. Builders for the facility were selected specifically, a construction team was formed, consisting of builders who had experience working on concreting facilities for mines serving ballistic missiles. Next to the "Nora" was Mount Gasfort, on which, especially in order to secretly transport the extracted rock, a crushed stone factory was built. This was done so that from the satellite of the enemy of the Soviet Union only the plant and various civilian structures were visible in this territory.
In addition, a special “dummy building” was built, also designed to deceive the enemy satellite. During the years of construction, this building was called a hotel for factory workers or a hotel. But to judge that the building is a dummy, we are helped by the facade of the building, which has been preserved in a fairly good condition: the windows in it are located very close to each other, and there are no flights of stairs at all, although the building is multi-storey. And the entrances themselves (there are two of them) to the "Object 221" were also disguised as civilian buildings, although they are only concrete slabs with windows painted on them with black paint. At the same time, you can only mistake this concrete slab for a building if you approach it from the front, as soon as you step aside, you will see that there is no building, and the entrance is just a giant flat concrete slab with painted fake windows.
Creation plan
The first site was passed by a team of miners led by foreman Tikhonov. The main problem during construction was the need to calculate the position on a large number of man, an information and computing center, a communication center, which was supposed to ensure the transfer of information to any point, should have been placed underground the globe, as well as an autonomous life support system. On one tier, it was necessary to place tanks for fuel and water, an electrical supply system, an air production system and ventilation, and a medical center. And among other things, the kitchen and dining room were supposed to be located here.
In addition to the underground part of the bunker, there was also an above-ground part of it - it was a military city. Security guards and technical staff could live in it. This residential town also had everything necessary for life: there were barracks, a boiler room. A vegetable store and a water supply system were built with preliminary purification of incoming water. For the construction of this town, a new construction team was formed, the head of which was Major Yuri Reva, who at one time graduated from a special construction school Northern Fleet. For many military men, it was an honor to get into the tunneling brigade of the next level of the bunker. In the mountain range, three blocks were drilled, to which horizontal passages, called "potters", led.
Last stages of construction
An important stage in the construction of the "Object 221" was the waterproofing of the premises located underground. A special technology was even developed for sealing seams during welding, as well as metal insulation. X-rays were used to check the quality of the seam and its water tightness. All construction was carried out strictly secretly, various fake equipment was exhibited throughout the entire construction, and even false apiaries and roads were laid. Large-scale work was also carried out to reorganize the relief.
The construction of the Reserve Command Post was supervised by the head of the construction department of the Black Sea Fleet, Major General L. Shumilov. Other equally well-known officials, such as Deputy Minister of Defense N. Shestopalov and Admiral of the Fleet N. Khovrin, constantly visited the construction site. Mining work, the most difficult of all construction, was completed in 1987. After that, the internal installation of the premises, the laying of ventilation shafts and cable lines. But due to the collapse of the Soviet Union, construction was stopped in 1992. At the same time, Ukraine independent state on the territory of which the object was located, declared itself a non-nuclear power, which means that it became unnecessary and unprofitable to continue the construction of such an object. After 1992, all security was removed from the facility and the Nora was subjected to large-scale robberies, mainly looters were interested in any metal parts and structures that could be scrapped.
"Object 221" today
Now "Object 221" is completely looted and ruined and is a popular place to visit for fans of extreme tourism and metal hunters. Tourists drew up a plan-scheme of the buildings of the "object 221", which became a guide for those who wanted to experience the thrill and feel the spirit of construction during the Cold War.
Now this object can pose a real danger. There are a large number of empty shafts, dips, rebar sticking out of the floor. It is very damp inside the abandoned buildings, as many of the premises are located on plots of land with big amount ground water. In addition to the damp climate, one can also note the formation of a fungus that develops in a damp and warm environment.
Today, on the day Soviet army and the Navy we will go on an excursion to one of the most secret objects of the Soviet Army in Latvia, this is a bunker designed to evacuate the party elite of Latvia in case of a nuclear war.
The bunker is located at a depth of 9m underground, its area is 2000 m2.
The plan for the construction of the bunker began to be developed back in 1968, they were looking for a place to build, then they decided which building to build above the bunker. As a result, they chose the town of Ligatne, which is located 70 kilometers from Riga, and to disguise the bunker, the Gauja boarding house was erected over it, intended for the day of party workers, on the territory of which they were allowed only with special passes. The construction of the bunker and boarding house was completed only in the early 1980s, at the height of the Cold War. 
All employees of the boarding house signed a document on non-disclosure of state secrets with all the ensuing consequences.
Nevertheless, ordinary workers of the boarding house were not allowed into the bunker, they could only guess what was under the boarding house. This place was guarded by the military, the entrance was strictly according to the list and with a password.
We descend into the basement of the boarding house. At the entrance to the bunker, we were greeted by a series of metal convex doors, doors of this design would better withstand the impact of the blast wave. The thickness of the walls is 2-2.5 meters. 
Duty room, nothing more, a table, a chair, a telephone. I don’t know how the attendants whiled away the time, maybe they were solving crossword puzzles. 
The total area of the bunker is 2000 m2, but we were shown only one third of the premises, which are more or less equipped. The rest of the underground rooms are empty, and one can only guess about their purpose. 
Long corridors, small rooms arranged in a circle. 
The poster on the wall speaks about the purpose of this room. "Without communication, there is no control. Without control, there is no victory!" By the way, many devices are in working order. 
Telegraph room. 
The last entry in the log. 
Telephone exchange, then it was hard to imagine that in the future the phone will fit in your pocket. 
This room was also kept on duty around the clock. Communication panel with other bunkers of the Soviet Union. If a red alarm lamp lit up at some object, this was immediately reported by special communication and evacuation began. 
In the meeting room, a map of Latvia from the 1980s with the historical names of collective farms 
The use of Soviet-era symbols is now prohibited by law. So you will meet the flag of the Latvian SSR infrequently. 
A recording studio, in case the first secretary of the CP needed to record an address to the people. 
Photographs were not allowed in some areas, such as the generator room, or the once-top-secret card room. Therefore, the photo of this room was borrowed from a postcard bought in information center. Just don’t laugh at the uniforms of the models, but few people in Latvia already remember what the uniform of a soldier and officer of the Soviet army should look like. 
In general, the main part of the rooms is equipped like this: a table, a chair, a telephone, a wardrobe. Living rooms are not provided. It was assumed that party workers should sleep right there on mattresses. Even worse would be the case with heating. In peacetime, the bunker was heated by the boiler room of the boarding house, which means that in the event of war there would be no heating in the bunker. In general, party bosses were tough guys and had to make do with a minimum of comfort. 
The only office with a semblance of comfort was with Comrade Vos, the first secretary of the Communist Party of the Republic of Latvia. There was a reception room where you would be met by a KGB officer. 
The office itself is covered with wallpaper, has an easy chair and a large table. 
Fresh magazines and books are on the coffee table. 
A shared toilet for men and women, these days, too, looks harsh. 
The bunker was intended for the evacuation of 250 people, this toilet should have been enough for everyone and another small room with a shower. 
And this is another shower, here a person washed himself with Lotus powder and laundry soap, in case he entered the bunker after nuclear contamination. Clothing in this case was removed and burned. 
The study of personal protective equipment, at one time, was part of the education program in all schools, institutes and enterprises. 
Surely many people remember the practical exercises on the study of a gas mask. 
As for food, the supply of food and other resources was planned for 3 months. This means that after 3 months people had to leave the bunker. Most of the radiation during this time should have settled or decomposed. 
They would feed the inhabitants of the bunker with dry rations. 
We got food stamps today. 
And they fed me dumplings. 
After an hour and a half spent in the bunker, it was so nice to breathe fresh air, and be glad that the red light on the remote control never turned on.
nostalgic for Soviet Union every year it gets bigger and bigger. It would seem that now people have so many opportunities that they still lack. But there will always be people yearning for the past. To a free man it is difficult to understand this phenomenon, and so that the lessons of history are not forgotten, in Lithuania, 25 kilometers from Vilnius, a Soviet-era bunker was turned into a tourist attraction in which you can become “ Soviet dissident"or return" back to the USSR.
