The History of the Palace

The object was built in 1930s in anticipation of the conflict with Germany. This building was just a shell and served as an entry to the 7000 square meters space- one of the main secret objects of the USSR.

To conceal the construction of Stalin’s bunker, the government of USSR declared that they intended to construct a huge stadium there. Under the cover of construction activity of the stadium, engineering of the secret object was conducted. The 17th kilometer corridor leaded from Kremlin to the bunker.

It was intended to be the headquarters of the Long-Distance Air Forces. It was later converted to the ‘command center of the Supreme commander-in-chief of Red Army”.

In 1995 Stalin’s Bunker was declassified.
