Bunker-42 is a Cold War-era underground military facility located in downtown Moscow, Russia. Built in the 1950s during the height of the Cold War, this fortification was constructed as a secure command post and bomb shelter to protect Soviet leadership in the event of a nuclear attack. The facility, also known as the 'Secure Command Post Taganskaya,' is situated approximately sixty-five meters below Moscow's streets and was designed to serve as an air-defense communication center.
Today, Bunker-42 offers Dr. Strangelove-esque tours that reveal the interior of this once-secret military command center, providing visitors with a glimpse into the Soviet Union's Cold War-era defense infrastructure.
