According to statistics, Moscow lives a bitless than 12 million people. Every day about 3 million tourists visit the capital of Russia. The question arises as to how safe it is to walk around white-stone these days. If a war begins, where should such a large number of people flee? The Ministry of Emergency Situations is sure that Moscow's air-raid shelters will be able to accommodate all residents and guests of the capital. It is worth investigating where the nearest shelters are, how they are organized and what has changed since the Great Patriotic War.
It is easy to guess that 14 lines of the Moscow metro, with a length of more than 300 kilometers - are the most accessible for ordinary residents bomb shelters in Moscow.
Back in 1935 the first subway line was opened.Two years later, the country's leadership took care of the construction of special shelters for themselves and members of the NKVD. The first was located near the station "Kirovskaya", the second on the Soviet Square.
In the autumn of 1941 the capital almost loststrategically important facilities, including underground. It seemed that Moscow could not be saved - the capital was quickly left by the residents and the military. October 16, by order of the Commander-in-Chief, they had to dismantle and blow up the metro.
At the last moment, Stalin changed his mind, and Moscow's bomb shelters, like the city itself, were saved.
Interestingly, during aerial attacks, the metropolitan underground became a real city. It opened shops and hairdressers. And at the metro station "Kurskaya" you could visit the library.
It turns out that nowadays any guest of the capitalcan visit such military facilities as Moscow's bomb shelters. Photo, however, according to the rules of using the subway, you can not do. However, modern equipment allows you to seamlessly and safely capture the phone underground shelter.
That's why a complete list of shelters is foundis impossible. Moreover, many bomb shelters have been kept secret since the war. For example, it was only in 2004 that they learned about such an air defense shelter. Then the journalists dubbed the found "subway" - "Metro-2".
Contemporaries, of course, are more interested in whether Moscow's bomb shelters can take all the residents and visitors of the capital and how safe it is to wait for an air attack underground.
The Ministry of Emergency Situations is sure that there are enough subways in the capital,capable of protecting Muscovites. Moreover, the Ministry, by agreement, is ready to arrange indicative excursions. In the autumn of this year, bloggers studied the bomb shelter on Altufevskoe highway and came to the conclusion that the shelter was ready for the start of a sudden war. Doors are heavy and airtight, sleeping places are in order, there is a first aid kit and anti-radiation suits.
According to general calculations, the metro willtake shelter for about 2 million people. 8 thousand will save the basement under the business center "Moscow City". Also in the center of the capital there are about 1,200 bunkers. However, there is no exact data on how many underground shelters exist in our time. This is a military secret. Therefore, we have to believe the Ministry of Emergencies on the word that in the event of war all can be saved.
Despite the classification of secrecy, it is not difficult to partially find the bombproof shelter in Moscow. The addresses of most of them are on the map of the Moscow metro.
In addition, you can hide from bombs practically in any cellar of a modern high-rise building. And the houses themselves have been building "bombproof" lately: with plastic windows and safe-doors.
According to unofficial data, more than a hundred facilities intended for bomb shelters are currently under construction.
Remarkably, the rules for using undergroundshelters since the war almost did not change. Vaults are only for people. They can not smoke, drink alcohol and act aggressively. Children, pensioners and people with disabilities should be assisted and assisted. In addition, modern regulations prohibit the use of cell phones and cameras underground.
