COLD WAR MUSEUM " BUNKER 42 "
Go there and contact
This bunker, now a museum of the Cold War, was a high place of the Soviet armed forces. Moscow has a few of them, but this one is the largest and most touristic. You will see the facilities and you can simulate the launch of a nuclear missile. All in all, you are guaranteed a fascinating visit if you are interested in the Cold War. Don't miss the restaurant on site, which is open 24 hours a day.
History. It took almost 4 years to build the 7,000 m² site 60 m underground on the express order of Stalin. It was put into service from 1956 until 1985 to coordinate the military defence of the country against a nuclear attack, with a stock of food and drink allowing more than 2,500 officers to spend 3 months there without having to leave. The building that overlooked this top-secret location never hinted at the activities that were taking place a few dozen metres underground. Numerous tunnels made it possible to reach the subway tunnels at nightfall and to use the rails to transport material. Today, only the green portal surmounted by a red star will show you the entrance to this museum like no other.
For tours. For foreigners, it is mandatory to book your tour in advance and a guide will be provided. The museum also offers an individual guided tour for the price starting at RUB 35,000 and a military role-playing game for RUB 64,000.
