Ma ljudi,ako ne sumnjamo u Cheyanne mountains i NORAD i ko zna šta su sve napravili,pa mi smo u Iraku gradili fenomenalne podzemne instalacije a kamo li Rusi ispod Moskve i ko zna još gde,kao vodeće nuklearne sile u jednom bitnom momentu oni su ozbiljno računali na nuklearni rat a i danas koliko vidimo je više nego vruće,tada je tehnika za podzemne radove bila solidna a kamo li danas, pa Kina trenutno gradi 15 Metro sistema u svojim gradovima sa po deset linija i kupljenom Nemačkom i Japanskom TBM,poguraj TBM ka Mongoliji za godinu-dve si tamo ,izgradnja tunela nije skupa ali objekata i instalacija jeste,zato me tunel do Urala ne fascinira koliko podzemni organizovani za život grad.Uostalom ovaj pisac Rus ne laže,jer Ameri odlično znaju šta ovi imaju i obnuto,a scenarijo za film koji namerava da proda baš Holivudu baš to potvrđuje...

Moscow Metro 2
Yauza trainAlthough this has not been officially confirmed, many[who?] independent studies suggest that a second, deeper metro system exists under military jurisdiction and was designed for emergency evacuation of key city personnel in case of nuclear attack during the Cold War. It is believed that it consists of a single track and connects the Kremlin, chief HQ (Genshtab), Lubyanka (FSB Headquarters) and the Ministry of Defence, as well as numerous other secret installations. There are also entrances[citation needed] to the system from several civilian buildings such as the Russian State Library, Moscow State University (MSU) and at least two stations of the regular metro.[citation needed] It is speculated that these would allow for the evacuation of a small number of randomly chosen civilians, in addition to most of the elite military personnel. A suspected junction between the secret system and normal Metro is behind the station Sportivnaya of the Sokolnicheskaya Line. The final section of this system was completed in 1997.[9]
Construction of the bunker system with its connecting channels was kicked off in 1929 under Stalin's orders, along with the public metro, and was later branded by people as "Metro-2." According to Mikhailov, the clandestine lines are not only hooked onto the main metro, but also have access to nearly every ministry, research institute or plant of strategic importance. There are large bunkers under the Rossiya Hotel, the White House and the Christ the Savior cathedral.
Mikhailov, who says he was invited by the Defense Ministry to inspect some of the levels of the underground system, says the web is "very dense and covers most of the city," with bunkers and channels located from 30 to 120 meters down with "30 percent more efficiency than the bunker system in New York."
The system was built to serve a variety of functions, from simple storage rooms to grand halls and studies -- with an ever present statuette of Stalin -- to provide shelter for the party elite in the case of nuclear attack. Mikhailov remembers how during one such venture he found a door leading to a huge dining hall, "obviously for people who worked there." Mikhailov says the system was serviced by as many as 3,000-4,000 people daily.
"Just imagine, they somehow had to get there, so there must have been transportation, there were enormous food store-rooms, concert halls and even experimental greenhouses..." Mikhailov tells with excitement.
Metro Two and the US Department of Defence
Even though anecdotal stories of Metro Two are common in Russia, the most compelling piece of evidence for the existence of the Metro Two system comes from a US Department of Defence report written in 1991 as the Soviet Union was breaking up. Military Forces in Transition speaks of the construction of very large and extensive underground installations, built by the Soviets under Moscow proper and under its suburbs(Military forces in transition.US Department of Defence. Government Printing Office.1991)
These installations are connected by an extensive subterranean rail system, which is believed to be up to 600 feet deep. This system of bunkers and tunnels would allow the Russian government to continue to function effectively and covertly in the event of nuclear war.

Manhole covers hide secret Moscow
By Nigel Wrench
Diggers of the Underground, BBC Radio 4
Wading in underground tunnels offers some people peace
The manhole cover was in the middle of a park in the centre of Moscow.
"Here we are," said Eugin, putting a small bag down on the grass. "This is where we go underground."
It didn't seem terribly likely. Outside, at 2230 on a summer's evening in Moscow, it is light enough and warm enough for Russians to sit in groups and on benches drinking cans of beer and talking.
All around the park near our manhole cover, that is exactly what they were doing. Now, while they watched, we were about to go underground.
Eugin pulled a peculiar-looking garment from his bag.
"Put these on. The water down there is not very nice."
I began to attempt to pull on a pair of rubber dungarees.
Secret railway
Eugin is 22. He has his own group of "diggers" - the word used in both English and Russian to describe an emerging sub-culture of amateur explorers who attempt to penetrate the secret spaces underneath Moscow.
I'm not sure I'd do it again, but I think I do now understand the appeal of this hidden underground world
Eugin had already shown me spectacular images on a laptop computer of one of his most extraordinary adventures. He told me they were of a journey along the entire length of a secret underground railway system, first built to evacuate Soviet leaders from the Kremlin in time of civil disturbance or war.
The existence of "Metro 2", as it has become known, has long been rumoured. Officially, even in these post-Soviet times, it does not exist. Agents of the FSB, the successor to the KGB, called in one Russian journalist for questioning after he wrote about the secret network.
If Eugin's story is true, he is one of a very few outsiders to have been to Metro 2, and emerged with photographs to prove it.
They are images of huge tunnels, well-lit, a floor of concrete with rails set into it: ready for a train, a truck, or perhaps a tank. According to Eugin, the tunnels run for 25km, out into the countryside. He would not say how the diggers got in.
There are said to be around 100 diggers in Moscow. They are, on the one hand, extreme sportsmen and women seeking an adrenalin rush. But they are also uncovering the secret history of their city and their country as, on the streets above, smart boutiques and flashy cars are the new face of Moscow and of Russia.
Ankle-deep
The underground is an escape, too, from the pressures of a fast-changing society that is still in transition from the many decades of Communism. One woman said to me: "I feel at peace underground."
And there are stories of buried treasure. Some seek the lost library of Ivan the Terrible, priceless documents in a secret chamber, hidden for hundreds of years. I learn that this may or may not be a Russian fantasy.
Moscow's manhole covers hide a secret subterranean world
"Go! Now! Quickly!" Back in the park, the manhole cover had been dragged aside. Several of the beer-drinkers looked up. Eugin was gesturing towards the dark hole.
My dungarees more or less in place, I scrambled down, my feet just catching some rungs below the surface. There was the sound of water, ankle-deep as it turned out, and fast-running.
As I reached the bottom, the manhole cover above was pulled back into place as Eugin followed me down. Another digger was ahead of me, with a torch. I'd been told this was the Neglinka River, first diverted underground by Catherine the Great.
It felt like a large drain.
Alone
There was a bricked arch a foot or two above my head, wide enough to touch each side with my fingers, pipes coming into it from every direction, and a strange rumble from above as we walked on.
"Cars," said Eugin when asked.
"Why on earth do you do this?" I asked. He just shrugged.
We walked for a while. My heartbeat began to return to normal. I began to see the point. There is a strange beauty about being underground. A kind of serenity.
There was no doubt that we were alone, but for the water, and the smells coming from the pipes leading to our river.
Our little party turned at what the diggers called the "waterfall", a drop of several metres at a right-angled turn.
We walked back, upstream now, the water running fast towards us. A stop, and then up to another manhole cover, opened quickly to reveal the extraordinary sight of the sky, a dark almost-midnight Moscow sky.
I had been told you had to experience being underground to understand what being a digger means and why they do it. I'm not sure I would do it again, but I think I do now understand the appeal of this hidden underground world. And I certainly look at manhole covers in a very different way.
