Object 221. Alternate Command Post
Object 221 - the specter of another Cold War, another "Wonder of the World Crimean War", impresses with its scale and today nobody usefulness.
Object 221 (other names - "Alsu" object "Nora", height 495) - once a top-secret underground city, able to withstand a nuclear war, which was built as an emergency command post to command the Soviet Black Sea Fleet. Rumor has it that in addition to the transfer of command of the fleet, the object 221 is also intended role of refuge for VIPs. In short, "if tomorrow the war" - that was where to evacuate the party leadership and the "cream of society", vacationers in the Crimea.
But elite bunker this place and did not, in 1992, turned into a corpse.

The object 221 is not correct to even call the underground city. After all, it potterny tunnels and cut into solid rock.
The chosen "Height 495", according to the geological survey, had a monolithic rock structure, without any fractures and cavities. According to the project, the height of the rock "roof" of the premises of 180 meters. "Roof" permeated the two shafts with a diameter of 4 to 5 meters. Some tourists even mistake them for missile.
Underground city had three levels, connected by a long tunnel and inspection gallery, which could drive the vehicle (diagram I show below). Only lead-potterny from one of the two entrances, entrances to the object 221 had a length of over 500 meters (after all, it is an object of higher antinuclear protection class). The total length of tunnels and pottern is more than 10 (!!!) km.
It seems incredible, but such a large-scale construction was carried almost imperceptibly. It was formed a special "underground" construction battalion, reinforced by experts with experience concrete pit for the construction of ballistic missiles. Nearby, at the foot of the mountain was built Gasfort crushed stone plant, where at night and dumped taken out of the mountain rock. Satellites opponent on his pictures were to see an ordinary work for the benefit of citizens of the Soviet factory for the extraction of gravel and civil buildings ...
2. Object 221 from the air. Externally - nothing special.
3. In many sources it is a building called the hotel or hostel for those who built the facility. But if you carefully examine the inside of the structure, there are big doubts about this assumption. Most likely this building-snag enemy satellites. Pay attention to very closely spaced windows. On the back of each of them under the balcony slab, but there is no access to the balcony.
4. To test the hypothesis, climb the steps to the rasspavshimsya "main entrance»
5. Building "Hostels inside." Covering all had showered, in contrast to the load-bearing columns and walls. Amazing, is not it? As amazingly complete lack of staircases and even the stairwells.
6. However, there are some everyday objects ...
7. Concrete remnants literally playing in the wind and bend under their feet, so here mu care and begin the ascent to ordnomu two inputs Object 221
8. Altogether GSB two disguised as civilian building entrance - western and eastern. We decide comes chereh east and passing through the underground tunnels, exit through the west.
9. Inputs disguised as conventional buildings. In fact, painted windows look too theatrically, and funny. But apparently someone thought that it could bring down the enemy confused.
10. If you look at the side of hornblende, it is generally seen that a concrete slab.
11. Log into the womb of a stillborn monster
12. On the walls warning icons. I go without a helmet, protivozaga, UGC and boots. For me only my faithful Timberland.
13. guardhouse at the entrance.
14. This is the beginning of the tunnel, leaving deep into the rock. In terms of the underground headquarters center like a huge letter "A". He tells the world of two divergent Poterna that overlap at the inputs of a massive anti-nuclear door with lock chambers.
15. By the early 90s Object 221 was almost completed. It has been installed, most communications, laid pipe and cable. Elevators project is not provided. At 180 meters high command center personnel had to climb on foot. Before each of the two portals were built multi-ton concrete structure within which it has been laid electric cables, ducts, water and sewer pipes.
Now all the metal on the object is cut.
16. East tunnel. In order to accomplish the unthinkable task of fortification was formed a special battalion of mining. To help his fighters were attached to units of the trust "Donetskshahtprohodka", who had extensive experience in the construction concrete pit for ballistic missiles. Only during the first year it was pierced two 182-meter-long barrel, the bottom of which went to the breadth of the mountain tunnel main shelter.
17. The width and height of tunnels enough to here was a military truck
18. The object diagram 221.
19. After 500 meters of tunnels start to branch out, connecting blocks and various rooms.
20. At the end of the tunnel first individual-level visibility is almost zero. Literally hangs in the air and remove airborne dust is virtually impossible. We are located deep inside the rock. On the street in the August day was almost 40 degrees, and in the tunnels - about 7. Because of this difference in temperature is produced something napobodie fog. It will be necessary to try to go here in the winter. Maybe then be able to take pictures deep inside the object
21. Well, you understand, there is total darkness. I did this photo specifically to make it clear what a hanging mist. It can be clearly seen here in a beam of light from the lantern
22. Outside the western entrance, climb the long road to the top height of 495 - on the roof of the facility.
23. The height of the rock "roof" of the premises about 180 meters. "Roof" permeate the two shafts with a diameter of 4 to 5 meters. Some tourists mistake them for missile. In fact, through the underground command post of mine was reported to the antenna field. Top cable exit, ducts and spiral staircases
24. One of the vent wells.
25. The view from the "roof" of the object 221. At the bottom of the right can be seen the same crushed stone plant, now also abandoned.
In 1991, Ukraine obevila of its non-nuclear status and protected command post appeared no longer needed. But the money for the construction of "Object 221" had already been budgeted for 1991, but because the construction continued. In 1992, funding was discontinued, and the object is mothballed.
From 1992 to 1998, tried to find a peaceful applying of this bunker. In Alsou like to place an enterprise for bottling of mineral water and alcoholic beverages. There were, in particular, sound judgment about the prospects of re-profiling "Object 221" in the winery. But, apparently, they were offered small kickbacks.
Among the locals legends that in the mid-90s underground facility used for training soldiers of organized crime E. Podaneva.
To date, the object is cut and removed all the metal, and he is slowly dying in the once solid rock massif ...
