Kiev, as any other city, stores under a set of secret underground facilities. One of these - the secret prison of the NKVD. Many wonder, but it is in the heart of the underground - is available on the territory of the ancient Kievan fortress. Who knows about this place enough, during the Soviet era - even less carefully concealed entrance, and when built near the metro "Cave", the inputs to the prison was flooded by groundwater. Thus, the entrance found only in our time - during the construction of luxury buildings.


According to the preserved in the archives of the data structure had an extensive system of underground passages, not only for people, but also brick large diameter tunnels for moving troops and even two-way traffic. The length of the underground structure was 4 kilometers - on its construction and development have been spent a lot of money.
