"From the bunkers to the Kremlin is going 15 km long tunnel through which can pass armored techniques. The Army, the owner of the bunkers, opened a tunnel about 100 meters and made it a gallery in which the valuable works of art from the Stalin's times were during the perestroika dropped from Russian museums because they extolled the Soviet era.
