Metro-2, Secret metro system in Russian Federation

Metro-2 is an underground system in Moscow that remains closed to public access and whose exact layout is unknown. The alleged network is said to connect government buildings and strategic locations, though neither its structure nor full extent has been confirmed.

The project originated under Stalin as part of a strategy to protect key targets during the Cold War era. Its development occurred during Soviet military buildup and the political tensions of the 20th century.

Metro-2 features prominently in Russian urban legends and local folklore as a mysterious underground system. This hidden facility has become part of Moscow's cultural imagination through decades of speculation and storytelling.

Visitors should know that this facility is completely inaccessible and cannot be entered or explored. Information about it relies on external speculation and published reports about its possible existence.

Some sources suggest this network might be larger and more efficient than the public Moscow Metro. This claim remains unconfirmed and difficult to verify since no public access exists to gather evidence.
