Stalin's bunker, Underground military shelter at Academy of Culture and Art, Samara, Russia.
The bunker extends 37 meters below ground level, featuring multiple levels connected by staircases and containing military command facilities.
Between February and October 1942, thousands of workers constructed this shelter as an alternative command center should German forces capture Moscow.
The facility now operates as a civil defense museum, displaying military artifacts and documents from the Great Patriotic War period.
Visitors can access the bunker through guided tours in Russian, with advance reservations required through the Samara cultural department.
The construction required removing 25,000 cubic meters of soil at night while maintaining complete secrecy from local residents.
