The most famous museums in Moscow, such as the Kremlin, the Tretyakov Gallery or the Planetarium, are known to everyone. But in the capital of Russia there are many other museums, not so famous, but no less interesting. Some of them are just amazing!
Underground printing house 1905-1906
Address: st. Lesnaya, 55
At the beginning of the 20th century, when revolutionary sentiments in Russia were very strong, in order to print proclamations and agitation, a printing house was equipped. Everything was done in secret, since for this it was quite possible to go into exile, or even earn a worse punishment. The printing house was set up directly opposite the gendarmerie. It was a pretty bold and cunning decision. No matter how you relate to historical events, it will still be very interesting to see how the underground printing house was organized.
Bunker-42 on Taganka
Address: 5th Kotelnichesky per., 11
As you know, during the Cold War, the USSR not only armed itself, but also actively prepared for a possible enemy strike. Rumors about all kinds of underground communications and bunkers are very numerous, but almost no one knows the truth. But one of them is quite possible to see for yourself! Bunker 42 was built in 1956. The depth of its location is approximately 65m. If you love the thrill, then go on an excursion at night.
