Sanctuary Of The Black Sea Fleet. The object 221. Trip to the Crimea #53
This is perhaps the most ambitious of available objects, it will still be felt the enormity and power. It is definitely worth a visit, would recommend, this is the real miracle of the Crimea.
On the way to the site we see a strange building. Actually, it's fake. When built the object 221 was the atmosphere of secrecy. It was called the stone quarry, as it is called, and the workers who were engaged in its construction, went to the development of a stone quarry. Well, in the building of the fake is supposedly housed the dormitory for the workers of this career.
And here is the entrance to a secret facility 221. From far away and satellite-shpiena looks like another house Ghost. Fake Windows painted with paint, the object and the surrounding trees are doing their thing, covering the extra from prying eyes
Actually, walking around the object, one is struck by two things. The first is what the power of the super-civilization that built it and the second "power" of the savage barbarians and the natives who drank it completely, leaving almost no a single piece of metal
So, a little history. It was in the distant 70-ies, when it was all more than serious since it was the height of the cold war and the threat of nuclear war was one of the worst nightmares. Because the Soviet leadership was built different super-secret bunkers, shelters, and other secret items. Now and then, in 1976, and decided to start building a reserve command post, which was to accommodate the headquarters of the black sea Fleet in the event of a threat of a nuclear attack. Saying that he had not only to withstand a nuclear attack, but also to provide full autonomy for a number of years for several thousand people. To ensure uninterrupted command of the remnants of survivors after a nuclear attack fleet thanks to a powerful system of communication to convey anywhere in the planet.
Construction began in 1977 in secrecy. The project received the code name 221, but the legend of all was the fact that this is just a quarry for the extraction of stone. In the previous post shows the stone crushing plant, which only worked on the construction of the facility within 10 years and at the same time was a cover.
Qualified professionals performed skilled work, and all rough, heavy and unproductive, virtually free, served soldiers from the battalion with a proud name – special mining battalion.
By 1987, the battalion and the miners cut down in the thickness of the rock massif postern of two converging at an acute angle, the length of each of which was 500 m, and the height and width of 16 meters. In addition was cut down a huge water tank size 100х12х10 m and a plurality of auxiliary compartments. All the rooms were connected by a system of corridors. The total area of the three-tiered underground complex was about 20000 sq. m. On the surface of the mountain were two ventilation shafts with a length of 180 m and a diameter of 4.5 m, equipped with spiral staircases.
it is known that the object was ready for more than 90%! But, in connection with the collapse of the Soviet Union the construction was terminated, and the facility itself was located on the territory of Ukraine, which declared itself a nuclear-free power, plus the disarmament and so on and the object was simply not needed. They say that it is in fact for nothing was bought by a local mafia who sold all liquid equipment and nonferrous metal, after which it began to cut local wild natives and marauders who have absolutely no brains, as a result of mismanagement of the cut collapsed the entrance, where according to legend buried alive one of the local wild.
