Moscow: 65 Meters Underground in a Secret Bunker

Posted by Matt in July 13th, 2008

The Red Square, St. Basil`s Cathedral, Tretyakov Gallery, the Bolshoi Theatre are amongst the “standard” must-see attractions in Moscow for a foreign traveller. However, there are a number of places in Moscow foreign tourists are rarely shown. One of them is restricted USSR military object – Secured Command Post «Taganskiy» (GO-42), located 65 meters underground.

Kotelnicheskii Pereulok in Taganskiy district of Moscow is a street many citizens have walked down thousand times but few people know that deep under their feet the long tunnels of the Secured Command Post «Taganskiy» are situated. The entrance to the formerly secret object is carefully masked in an ordinary-looking 2-storey yellow building.
