Under some of the high-rises (for example, under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building) buried entire command bunker under the apartment buildings - the vast refuge, where for three days could hide all the largest population of these houses.





Skyscraper on Kudrinskaya Square was built in 1948-1954, respectively. In the most dvadtsatishestietazhnoy tower is more than 450 apartments, but still in front of the stylobate has an impressive area of ​​16, 5 thousand m².



Under the old photo is possible to judge how deep stylobate goes underground. In fact, he floors.



At the top are shops, garages and cinema "flame", and on the lower level, it was a refuge, divided into hundreds of small small rooms.
