Oleg Roldugin, editor-in-chief of Sobesednik, one of the few opposition publications in Moscow, said: The Kremlin has a large network of hiding places.

Most of them are in Moscow.

According to the journalist, most of the bunkers in the Russian capital were built between the 1930s and 1980s.

Work on building new shelters and renovating old ones has resumed since Putin came to power.

"The Moscow network has several centers in the heart of the city. The entrances to the bunkers are located next to key buildings (the headquarters of the Federal Security Service, the Ministry of War and others). They are all connected by a tunnel system to a hiding place under the Kremlin," the editor-in-chief also said .

"The Moscow network is a city under the city, which is connected by an underground railway to the towns near the capital, Balashikha, Chekhov and others, and the route continues to Kaluga (a city 180 kilometers southwest of Moscow)," added the journalist.

According to Roldugin, the President of Russia has bunkers along the Volga River.

"Such one was also built under Putin's palace in the Black Sea resort of Gelendzhik," he added.

In the words of the man: In the Ural Mountains, work is boiling around the clock.

A hideout is being built in the city of Mezhgorie.

The city itself, with a population of 15,000, is closed to ordinary Russian citizens.

"For several months now, even a chicken has not been able to fly over the city. Residents of surrounding villages told how the military is more than usual. The villagers also told that airplanes, helicopters and drones are constantly flying over the city and its surroundings. Trucks with construction materials are constantly entering Mezhgorie materials and technique," he added.
