Soviet heavy protective door for the bunker. Soviet secret hopper in case of a nuclear threat

Next, we suggest you to go on a virtual tour of the largest Soviet Bunkera located in Belarus. The construction of a colossal structure, which was to become a command clause of the united forces of the Warsaw Treaty, began in the mid-80s, but never was completed. Until now, this place is shrouded in the set of secrets, partially solve which you can only be inside.

The contract declaratively proclaimed the exclusively defensive nature of the Union and set the goal of maintaining peace in Europe. In the event of an attack on one of the countries - participants of the ATS, the rest of the states have committed themselves to the victim of aggression immediate assistance by all means, including the military, and, as the propaganda broadcast, "destroy everyone who will encroacitate the freedom of the peoples of socialist states."

In 1985, the leaders of the OVD countries signed a protocol on the extension of the contract for 20 years. By that time, Mikhail Gorbachev came to power in the USSR, and discharge came in the Cold War. Soviet Union announced a one-sided moratorium on nuclear tests. Nevertheless, with the development of new weapons, colossal funds were still spent on the maintenance of the armies and the development of new weapons. In the mid-1980s, in various parts of the USSR, in terms of special secrecy, the construction of command clauses of the ATS ambitious underground structures, intended for the senior management of the Organization, began. In such bunkers, Gorbachev could not only lead the troops, but also to survive the nuclear attack of the enemy, and then with the help of surviving communication systems to give orders about the response.

The construction of the command post in the Grodno region of Belarus began in 1985. It is known for certain one parallel to create two similar objects in Moldova and Azerbaijan. None of them was completed. Began the restructuring, the wave of "velvet revolutions" rolled according to countries, followed by a fall in communist regimes. In 1991, the military unit of the ATS, referred to as 36 years of the shield of socialism, ceased to exist. And after the USSR collapsed.

In 1991, all work on the Belarusian bunker was stopped. By that time, almost the entire underground complex was built: two main blocks, auxiliary trunks and communication are lost, shafts for pull-out telescopic antennas. Under the architecture of the masking hangar lay expensive equipment that was delivered, but did not have time to mount.

Part of the equipment was removed by the military, part - stunned. Below are local residents.

My friend served here as an ensign. Speaking, the equipment was rushing. Everyone was taken somewhere, melted and dubbed. Someone has enriched well on this, "the worker of the leshoza told us at the road and waved his hand towards the bunker. - And how much money was meaningless to go into the ground, how much did the labor of the human, how much time is wicked.

Not far from the former secret construction site among forests and fields is a two-storey residential building. Once it was built as a hostel for officers. Apparently, after the collapse of the Union, a farmer with his family settled here. Now he breeds goats and sells milk.

Reinforced concrete floors are stored near the house-farm, near the mountain of broken bricks. These are the remnants of a military town that has been erected to serve the underground facilities. He was also not managed to complete, and then destroyed what was.

According to the project, the command clause consists of two trunks, in each of which there is a multi-storey block of cylindrical shape. The southern block (in the diagram below is indicated as the block A) was intended for the command formulation. There envisaged an operational management room, cabinets, dining rooms, santilex and other premises. Northern block - technical - was necessary for the life support of the bunker. It should have various power plants, a diesel power station, ventilation equipment and so on. For the connection between the floors in each block, stair marches and elevators were assumed. At several levels, blocks were connected to each other with underground corridors.

Information about the construction of the command paragraph has been classified for a long time. Today at open access There are very scant information about its layout, dimensions, technical specifications. According to distinguished data, the depth of blocks is or 45, or 62 meters. The inner diameter of the trunks in which blocks are 32 meters. To approximately appreciate the scale, it is enough to present two famous "corn" near the Komarovsky market, placed in underground wells at a distance of 20 meters from each other.

In the second half of the 1980s, the economy of the country's councils crackled on the seams, but the party did not regret the money for the grand military projects. There are reliable data on the value of the Belarusian team: he cost a state of 32 million Soviet rubles. This agent could build a whole microdistrict - 16 five-story buildings, in each of which 8 entrances.

Brought by builders and military command item was taken under round-the-clock security, which was duty somewhere until 2009. After that, the diggers and curious local residents began to penetrate into the secret object. Metalists with diesel generators, sawing everything that turned out to be no military. For some short time, the command office was again taken under the protection of the police.

So the camouflage hangar looked in 2010. Sizes are impressive.

A year later, the authorities of the Grodno region decided to demolish the hangar and concrete all the Lases. The gaping holes of the "wells" covered with iron beams, a metal straightener, and the earth was covered on top.

The forest trail displays on an open space, in the center of which two hills hiding "washers" of the command and technical blocks are towering.

From under the snow, the remnants of the supports of the masking hangar stick out.

Partially preserved the rails of a gantry crane that worked under the arch of the hangar.

The entire complex covers the protective reinforced concrete "pillow". From the direct hit of nuclear warheads, such a roof, of course, will not save. But more advanced protection in those times was not required. The degree of accuracy of missiles was not the same as now, the more coordinates of the command item were kept secret.

Not far from the blocks there is a top fragment of the mine, laid out by reinforced concrete tubing. According to the project, it is a mine for a telescopic antenna. When nuclear attack After passing the shock wave, the antenna should have climbed to the surface and ensure the connection of the commander-in-chief with the troops. In addition, it was planned to build a nearby antenna field, swallowed in a soil for 90 centimeters.

Despite the conservation of the facility conducted by the authorities, from time to time under concrete slabs there are holes that have done or digger, whether the metal hunters. It is extremely dangerous to people without special training. The corridors of the unfinished bunker are running out by the mines in the abyss, the stair marches are laid out by rotting wooden steps. The system of corridors is entangled so that in case of failure of the only flashlight, the chances of climbing to the surface from the lower levels is very small.

This looks like the input from the first underground level of the command block.

Walls will never be graders. They are made of non-removable metal formwork, flooded with a strong fortification concrete. In the photo below - the opening between the inner wall of the shaft and the outer wall of the block body.

The bunker inside is a huge iron monster, the dimensions of which simply do not fit in the head. Paul, walls, ceiling - all surfaces are covered with rust metal. The bunker did not have time to complete and equip, so inside there is absolutely nothing but empty corridors, massive pemeodores, large and small ventilation pipes and boxes.

The lantern beam snags deep mines in the dark, about whose assignment can only be guessing. Abandoned down the stone flies almost 4 seconds and barely hears in the water. Lower bunker levels flooded.

The builders did not even have time to mount raised floors and false-volks, where various communications were supposed to undergo. The following picture is clearly visible level of the doorway and approximately half-meter zealing from below and from above, necessary for laying pipes and cables.

And this is already entrance to the technical unit B. In the left part of the corridor, the designs of the structures and the soil collapse are observed. The deformation occurred, most likely, in 2011 during the undermining hangar.

On the third underground level there are broken Tubei - the very, of which the walls of the mine are posted. How did they find here? Perhaps they were knocked out by a directed explosion when doing the passage to the auxiliary barrel. Such an explanation gives researchers, many times were in the command paragraph.

Corridors and herrodber.

Only one room in the entire block was painted paint.

On the staircase marches there are staircase spans, where the heaps of the railing and there are no steps.

Seventh underground level. In some rooms, ventilation is made.
40\49

And somewhere they managed to mount raised floors.

The descent is going down to the ninth level. And then the staircase goes under the water. Bunker researchers argue that there are three more floors below.

I used to have ice here, but after the bunker was installed, the temperature inside gradually began to rise to the ground level. Now in this world, consisting of rust and darkness, approximately 8 degrees Celsius.

At the ninth level, the corridor continues the flooded loss leading to the command unit A.

Throughout his life, the command center turned hearing and speculation, sometimes incredible. On the Internet you can find a legend of the diggers that stumbled into the dungeon on the mountain of corpses: allegedly gangsters dropped their competitors into the mine. The story turned out to be fiction. But the morgue is designed as part of the bunker - the fact is confirmed.

After the Union of the Union, the Deputies of the Supreme Council reflected on how to use an unnecessary military facility for peaceful purposes. Someone offered year-round grown in the mushroom bunker. However, there was no investor. On the Internet there are other suggestions today. Why not turn the command post in the museum cold War? Probably the authorities are not interested in this. And is there any point? The shelter has never been used, has undergone a plunder and therefore did not save neither the atmosphere nor the original equipment of those years. Now it's just thousands of tons rusting in the pitch of iron. Millions of Soviet rubles, forever buried to the ground.

Underground bunkers can be called one of the most unique facilities in the world. But build a bunker - half the way: it is necessary to do it secretly. The task is very difficult, given the scale and engineering complexity. Buing it, the secret must be saved. Not all bunkers are known - some are completely abandoned and hidden from the eyes of nature itself, while others act and stored in an even greater mystery.

Bunker in Samara

Stalin's bunker on the Volga is considered the deepest construction of the Second World War. Kuibyshev, as was the name of Samara, was a spare capital in case of capturing Moscow - the Soviet government, the party apparatus and foreign missions were evacuated there. Stalin himself remained all over the war in Moscow - there he also had plenty of bunkers. The Samara object is built under the granite slab and is a reduced copy of the Moscow Airport Metro Station. It lies at a depth of 37 meters (the depth of the Berlin Hitler bunker was 16 meters, and Winston Churchill's military office in London was located in essence, in the basement of the administrative building). The Stalinsky bunker is not only reliably protected, but also very comfortable: the main office and a meeting room of Generalissimus is almost the same as in the Kremlin.

Bunker-42.

Now here is the Cold War Museum. You can get into it, descending on the stairs of 310 stages with a countdown floor, admiring the corridors with massive hermetic doors with massive hermetic plates. In the end fascinating excursion It goes out the light, smoke appears, the red emergency lighting is turned on, and the internal communications declare that a nuclear strike is applied along the capital.

Underground city of Yamantau

Mount Yamantau, which recently walks the mass of fantastic rumors, is the highest in the southern 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 in the period of late stagnation. Russian military do not comment on it. To Yamanthau suspended railway, the top of the mountain is carefully guarded. The main purpose of the object is whether the secret military plant, whether the spare residence of the president and the government, and possibly a warehouse of ammunition. Be that as it may, due to the distance from the borders, the mountain provides additional safety.

Storage of warhead

Underground, you can not only hide in case of big trouble, but also to 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 accommodation nuclear weapons Bente, he created in a very picturesque corner of Czechoslovakia one of the warehousing of the warhead. This gave a huge advantage in the event of the war at the European Theater of Action, but if the mystery had become a reality, and a crushing blow would be applied without the wondrous reputation of the USSR. Even Czechoslovak military was not allowed to arsenal. Soviet warlords were lucky: the object was declassified only in the nineties.

At all times, the issues of government and military communications attached paramount importance. With the onset of the Cold War, it was necessary to solve the problem of stable information transfer even in an atomic conflict. To do this, a system of fortified underground communication centers was created in the USSR. They provided the transfer of orders to the High Command of Western Troops, located including in the countries of the Warsaw Treaty. About one of these super secretalities in the past objects will be discussed below.

Before reading the story and view photos, you must learn that the bunker is looking for a person or the organization that could take it for rent or in any other way to assist translating into the museum. If you can help in this matter, let me know here in the comments or by mail: Antares-610 @ Yandex.ru

Previously, it was one military unit, which included two nodes of communication: a receiving and transmitting. The transmitters were located in the forest near the village of Kamenetsky District Palaces, and the management point - in the village is brought. Between them - 14 km. Each node was a three-storey underground structure with autonomous life support systems, surrounded by a double perimeter with a radian signaling system, after which even hare could not run.

In 1991, both facilities planned to modernize as similar bunkers in Poland and Germany. Part of the equipment was taken to Kamenets, but after the Belovezhsky agreements it stopped everything, the equipment disappeared. Soon the military left the object, taking secret devices and documentation to Russia. The reception unit was adapted under the spare headquarters of civil defense. A military town adjacent to the Bunker, where during the war the headquarters of the Army of the Warsaw Treaty should be located, in 1999 it was rebuilt into the Republican Sanatorium "White Zhery". In 2001, headquarters left the walls of the object, the bunker moved to the balance of MES. Since then, he, in a canned state, is under the clock guard. The state allocates money only for electricity, as well as on the salary of the Commandant of the object, 4 interchangeable watchmen and duty electrician.

Thanks to the efforts of not indifferent people, some of which carried the service here as the command A.A. Shorchev, a unique object managed to save from the marauders. , smaller in size, waited radically another fate. His lower tier turned out to be flooded with groundwater, and the lack of protection led to the fullest looting. The reception center was originally built at a high location, even on lower level The surrounding soil is dry, the flooding does not threaten him.

1. The main entrance to the bunker covers above the small plywood house painted into the camouflage camouflage. Behind the ventilation kiosks are visible, with which the air is carried out for supplying ventilation of the object.

2. Inside the house hides a concrete staircase.

3. The wall has strengthened a memorial plate in memory of the military builders of the Red Banner of the Belarusian Military District, which elevated the object in 1968-1971.

4. At the end of the stairs, the entrance to the object blocks the massive protective door (DZ) capable of protecting the atomic explosion from the shock wave. Its mass 3 tons. In order to get inside, it was necessary to remove the phone of the phone and call the password of the watch on the other side of the shutter.

5. The second door is located at the main door, a slightly smaller door of the DzG door is protective-hermetic.

6. There was also a phone on the wall.

7. For the second door there was a third phone. Immediately the fire hydrant and the console that was responsible for the work of the Hermeoklapanov.

8. Further there was a system of gateway chambers. Inside the object, the pressure was maintained above atmospheric - to protect against the penetration of combat poisoning substances. When passing cameras, pressure gradually increased.

9. Further stretching long corridors with a multitude of bulkheads. Inside the object resembles a submarine. It is divided into three floors, each area of \u200b\u200b1200 m².

10. The upper tier is almost completely engaged in information transfer systems. There is still a huge amount of radio equipment, such as R155P "Lingonberry" main radio equipment.

11. There was an antenna field around each bunker. Communication with the antennas and the closest objects was carried out through cable lines. All cables were equipped with double hermetic shells, inside which were supported. high blood pressure. Any damage to the cable was recorded by a pressure gauge installed inside the bunker. This allowed to quickly control the state of the wired communication lines and timely troubleshoot.

12. Information transmitted across various communication channels was transmitted to a huge linear hardware room. Here was the equipment of transmission systems with frequency distribution of channels (LDC) and switching stand. Each block was responsible for a separate channel.

13. Separate secret data is encrypted in a secake communication equipment (POOD), and then issued to a separate switching switch. Data that was not required to be encrypted were immediately transmitted to a long-distance switch.

14. Operators brought signals to normal characteristics that allow them to convey them further. On the rack of primary groups of equipment K-60P - Cup with the inscription "Best Communications Post".

15. Special devices were provided for the diagnosis of equipment, for the convenience of moving the rolled on the wheels.

16. In the room with sound insulation walls there is a long-distance switch. Here connected subscribers with each other. Worked mainly women.

17. Contact from here it was possible with any point of the Soviet Union and with all satellite countries, even with Cuba.

18. The scheme included calls for nodes with which it was possible to be bonded. Not all of them, as the "heading", were anti-nuclear bunkers. Here are some that managed to identify:
"Ruby" - Moscow, 1st Node Communication General Staff.
"Strait" - Vlasiha, Central Command Point of RVSN.
"Grad" - Gomel.
"The globe" - Minsk, 62nd Central Communication Node of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Belarus.
"Apricot" - Lviv, 63rd knot of communication of the Carpathian Military District.
"Wizard" - pos. Kyiv in the Minsk district, the command center of the Belarusian Military District.
"Lightwater" - Station of the Tropospheric Communication "Bars" No. 101 Not far from the "heading".
"Pheasant" - Brest, unprotected communication knot
"Harpoon" - Smolensk, General Staff Communication Node.
"Reference point" - Eagle, unprotected communication knot, the educational center Connectors.

19. In order for all the object of the object the same time, an hour station was provided.

20. The exact time for the whole clock of the bunker was set by a duplicate mechanical clock system with an electromagnetic drive.

21. In the mid-1980s, the system was replaced with new electronic equipment, the signal about the exact time began to come here on the radio channel from the external source. However, this system quickly failed to return to a more reliable old scheme.

22. In peacetime, the garrison fastened in the dining room of the military town, the duty officers brought food in thermos. But in case of hostilities was provided by sophobors.

23. During the exercise, food was prepared at this kitchen.

24. Nearby - a room for washing dishes. Manually, of course.

25. Also on the facility there were three freezers for storing products.

26. The lower two bunker tiers are no longer associated with data transfer, and completely given to systems that allowed autonomously to exist within 2-3 weeks.

27. On -2 floor there are ventilation systems.

28. In total, there were 16 ventilation systems: supply, recycling, exhaust, for breathing, for cooling devices, etc.

29. Air in each of the systems it was necessary to clean, cool, dry or moisturize.

30. For the primary cleaning of the airborne air from the surface, a cyclone filter was provided, in which the air was passed through the drum from a fine grid, partially immersed in the oil.

31. In case of use of poisoning substances, ventilation through coal filters was provided.

32. The air used to cool the equipment was passed through the inkjet water flow in the air conditioner of refrigeration machines (CD-20).

33. Machines provided the necessary temperature and humidity regime (TV) air.

34. On some systems, electric valves were installed.

35. However, the automatic drive has always been duplicated manually.

36. Depending on how the mode was part, the dispatcher chose the air access mode. If it is impossible to fence air from the surface, an autonomous reserve of 4000 m³ was stored in 96 special cylinders.

37. The cylinders still maintained pressure in 50 atmospheres, protecting them from rust.

38. Numerous pipelines from cylinders lead to the next room.

39. Here, with the help of a special shield, air control from cylinders into the ventilation system was carried out.

40. There is a compressor and two receivers to smooth pressure pulsations. The air was previously overlooked through the desiccant to protect the equipment from the negative impact of moisture. In the corner under an insulating case there is air humidity meter.

41. The most difficult life support technique was on -3 floor.

42. On the staircase, posters are hanging with schemes of life support systems.

43. All rooms on the technical floor were equipped with Hermeodores.

44. There were several pumping stations on the facility. The color of the water supply corresponded to their purpose in the systems of the complex. Blue - water for drinking and household needs, red - fire extinguishing system. There were electric heaters. Beyond the wall of the hall was the water storage tanks.

45. Also water was used to cool the machines.

46. \u200b\u200bIn addition, the object had four own artesian wells.

47. In small pumps, economic and fecal efflors were pumped.

48. For cooling water, refrigeration units operated on Freon were provided. For water and freon, two tanks are provided.

49. The work of the refrigerator provided two compressors, a receiver, heat exchanger, pubs with Freon.

50. Each compressor has been connected to the receiver - a capacity to equalize pressure.

51. Water and Freon pumped through heat exchangers.

52. Pressure gauges on the heat exchanger were equipped with fluorescent screens.

53. The nutrition of the energy system of the complex was carried out by a diesel generator. However, the first 15 minutes of operation diesel could not maintain the necessary load, therefore, three-shielding units were used. In them, the generators who have issued the working voltage to power the systems of the complex were driven by the engine or variable or direct current. The latter were fed from batteries located in the neighboring room.

55. There were currents of several thousand amps, so such huge switches are installed.

56. The control panel strikes with its sizes and complexity.

57. The batteries occupied a whole extensive room, another room was highlighted for duplicate rectifying plants (VUS), which ensured their charging.

58.

59. The electrical system control was carried out through the main distribution shield (GRACH).

60. It was mounted on a platform suspended to the ceiling on shock absorbers. This allowed to protect equipment and communications from the failure in case of exposure to the construction of seismic waves with a close nuclear explosion.

61. The external walls are arranged cabinets where spare parts were stored.

62. Startup device for diesel generators (PUAS), one of the three available.

63.

64. Workplace of the operator of the duty shift.

65. Saint-Saints Bunker - a room with three ship diesel-generators with a capacity of 500 kilowatts each.

69. They provided an autonomous power supply to the object and military town in case of failure of the power cable with the nearest substation. Once the object generators even provided with electricity the neighboring district center with a population of 8 thousand people. All three generators never worked at the same time, the system has always been reserved.

68. The main fuel reserves were stored in two capacities of 60 m³ located in the soil behind the external walls of the object. To start the diesel engines, cylinders with compressed air were used.

67. The air in them was pumped by this electrocompressor.

66. Pressure in the cylinders was controlled by pressure gauges.

70. In the engine room there are huge exhaust installations, a constant recycling of air occurred. Exhaust gases on special pipelines went to cooling machines and displayed from the object.

71. Management of all engineering systems of the complex was carried out from the dispatch. Almost all space in front of the remote control occupies a mnemonic scheme of ventilation systems, doors and hatches.

72. On the right there is a much more modest mnemonichem of the water supply system.

73. Two person jobs were located here: Technology Manager and Suiter Manager.

74. Depending on the degree of combat readiness, the technician chose a certain mode of functioning of the structure, remotely giving commands to the executive mechanisms of all engineering systems of the complex.

75. For each of the modes of declared combat readiness, its system configuration table was compiled.

76. From one remote control, the dispatcher could control the locking of the doors, flaps of ventkiosks, hemocladas, filter ventilation plants, numerous water pumps, refrigerators, smoke removal system, air pressure in individual rooms, each of the 16 ventilation systems.

77. The telephone could call anywhere in the object where they were on duty.

78. The design of the dispatching, as well as the main distribution, is a platform on suspended supports fixed in the ceiling overlap.

79. Dispatching is the most impressive room of the bunker, the last of the inspected.

We are grateful to the head of the Brest Regional Department of the Ministry emergency situations Konstantin Evgenievich Shanshunovich, press secretary Sergey Vitalyevich Mashnova and the commandant of the object Anatoly Alexandrovich Shorchevu for helping to visit the communication node.

79. Dispatching is the most impressive room of the bunker, the last of the inspected.

The dungeons are always mysterious, whether the caves, karst faults, the taper of the falling volcanoes - or man-made holes under granite slabs, basalt cliffs and thousands of tons of concrete.
The man settled in the caves from time immemorial, and in the atomic age created a mass of man-made dungeons - so as not to just live, and survive. Underground bunkers can be called one of the most unique structures in the world. But build a bunker - half the way: it is necessary to do it secretly. The task is very difficult, given the scale and engineering complexity. Buing it, the secret must be saved. Not all bunkers are known - some are completely abandoned and hidden from the eyes of nature itself, while others act and stored in an even greater mystery.

Bunker in Samara

Bunker-42.

On Taganka there is an inconspicuous two-storey mansion. On the first floor there is no windows - the house is built in order to hide the concrete dome with a thickness of six meters, covering a mine, which goes deep into 60 meters. There, at the level of the annular line of the subway, there are four tunnels connected by transitions. This is a spare command post of long aviation.
Now here is the Cold War Museum. You can get into it, descending on the stairs of 310 stages with a countdown floor, admiring the corridors with massive hermetic doors with massive hermetic plates. At the end of a fascinating excursion, the light goes out, smoke appears, the red emergency lighting is turned on, and on the internal communications declare that a nuclear strike is applied along the capital.

Underground city of Yamantau

Mount Yamantau, which recently walks the mass of fantastic rumors, is the highest in the southern 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 in the period of late stagnation. Russian military do not comment on it. Railway is supplied to Yamantau, the top of the mountain is carefully guarded. The main purpose of the object is whether the secret military plant, whether the spare residence of the president and the government, and possibly a warehouse of ammunition. Be that as it may, due to the distance from the borders, the mountain provides additional safety.

Storage of warhead

Underground, you can not only hide in case of big trouble, but also to 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 placement of nuclear weapons beyond it created in a very picturesque corner of Czechoslovakia one of the warehousing of the warhead. This gave a huge advantage in the event of the war at the European Theater of Action, but if the mystery had become a reality, and a crushing blow would be applied without the wondrous reputation of the USSR. Even Czechoslovak military was not allowed to arsenal. Soviet warlords were lucky: the object was declassified only in the nineties.

Shelter submarine

Under the ground, it can be stored even what floats. One of the most ambitious structures of the time of the Cold War is the shelter of submarines in Balaclava. Mount Tavros, in the depths of which it is located, consists of very durable marbled limestone, and the thickness of the breed under the tonsnels and channels is more than 100 meters. The object has the first category of antioactive stability - it is not scary to directly hit the bombs with a capacity of 100 kiloton.
