The 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.
