Mikhail and some of his friends went down into the one of the Moscow nuclear shelters prepared for emergency in case someone pushed the Red Button. That is a huge shelter which seats 2,700 people and can also hold cars. It’s over 2,000 square meters in area. Do you want to see what is inside – we can show you thanks to the photos and stories he brought from there.
So here is the entrance. The shelter itself is underground, 6.50 meter deep. Now some parts of the building is used as a warehouse.
Entering the shelter. As you can see it can host cars and vans.
So, if people of the neighborhood are so unfortunate that the NATO bombings begin, they would have to spend their nights in bunk beds like these. They are not very soft but they are safe. However, only 540 beds are here and as it can take up to 2,700 people they would need to sleep in turns as the rest of the space here is for sitting.
