Remember that it opens, at one point, into the subway. Its just a supposition, but I could imagine this thing being built during the construction of the subway tunnel. It would be relatively easy to disguise all the equipment going in and dirt coming out in the process.
Looking at the history of the Metro construction, the bunker construction dates to roughly the time of the 4th stage of the Metro construction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_Metro http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_Metro
Again, its a supposition and the address of the bunker would be needed to compare to the location of the Metro built during the 4th stage.
- eps 15y agoThe timeframe is off. The bunker is in the vicinity of Taganskaya station (the one on the "ring") which was opened in 1950. The bunker was built between '58 and '63 - so not only it was built much later, it also took much longer than a typical subway construction project.
- flexd 15y agoStill since there is access to the subway they could have moved stuff out through the subway system at night?
- eps 15y agoThat's clever, but Moscow subway is open between 4:45am and 1:00am. That doesn't seem to give much time to move out a lot of dirt, not quickly.
- bdunbar 15y agoThat's clever, but Moscow subway is open between 4:45am and 1:00am Even back then? Even so, I bet the authorities could simply close the system down early, close off stations as needed. Still, I suspect the builders were not worried about subway patrons seeing trainloads of excavated dirt. They were worried about overhead satellites.
