Russia Has Constructed Massive Underground Shelters In Anticipation Of Nuclear War

Quote:

Back in the 1990s, the Clinton administration was deeply concerned about the construction of this enormous complex deep inside Yamantau mountain, but they could never seem to get any straight answers from the Russians.
The command center for this complex is rumored to be 3,000 feet directly straight down from the summit of this giant rock quartz mountain. And of course U.S. military officials will admit that there are dozens of other similar sites throughout Russia, although most of them are thought to be quite a bit smaller. But that is not all that the Russians have been up to.

There used to be a lot of nuke bunkers under every noteworthy building connected to the government or industry across the entire Soviet Union. Most of them fell into disrepair in the 90s. They were no longer maintained, were ransacked for anything of value, and many of them are in likelihood too far gone to be restored. Once the reinforced concrete is compromised, it's probably cheaper to build a new bunker than repair the old.

Furthermore, bunker busters and smart targeting systems make it much harder to secure all but the highest priority targets...which is why Russia has focused more on mobile ICBM launchers than digging expensive launch sites which are well-known to satellites and not hard to hit. As you get closer to the center of an explosion, the pressure increases exponentially,making defending against it that much harder.

In other news, the Moscow metro is arguably the biggest nuclear bunker ever built - which is why most of the old stations are so far underground. There are rumors (and evidence of probable locations and lines made by US intelligence in the Cold War) of a parallel metro system, Metro-2. It is rumored to have minimal overlap with the civilian system (aside from well-camouflaged entrances, probably) and it's purpose was to evacuate top leadership from Moscow if SHTF.

Five or so years ago, there used to be a bunch of sites online of urban explorers who climbed into abandoned bunkers for their dose of adrenaline. Some used to upload pictures. Most of these websites appear down. Most are treated as trespassers, but some have proved useful to special forces. Keep in mind that Moscow is over 850 years old, and there are tons of subterranean layers not on any maps, much less maps that the general public can get their hands on.

For instance, in the 2002 hostage crisis in the Moscow theatre, special forces were aided by such urban explorers, who helped them find underground entranceways to the building.

The smarter ones won't reveal sites anymore. Plus, the government has gotten smarter about the safety and security risks - if pictures of a site went up, soon the entrances would be welded shut. Punishments for trespassing have been greatly increased up to fines of $6k and 15 days in jail, and that's not including the bouquet of other charges from vandalism to espionage and treason. There appear to be some sort of directives to prevent and curtail any public exposure to even abandoned sites.
