Description
Beria's bunker in Samara is a historical structure whose history and significance remain largely a mystery. Construction of the bunker began in the late 1930s and was aimed at providing protection for important buildings and officials during the war. It was initially planned that, if necessary, government structures, members of the General Staff and other important persons would be evacuated to the bunker.
However, despite the start of construction, the bunker remained unfinished. In 1943, its construction was suspended, and since then it has remained virtually unchanged. According to some reports, the bunker could be part of a system of underground structures connecting various objects in Samara, such as the Zhukov and Kalinin bunkers. However, this theory has not yet been confirmed.
Today, Beria's bunker is an object of historical research and attracts the attention of researchers and history buffs. However, access to it is limited due to flooding and destruction, and the entrances to the bunker are closed due to the danger of soil collapse and destruction of the ceilings.
Beria's bunker is located on the territory of the Samara Regional Clinical Geriatric Hospital, formerly known as the grain exchange. The building's specific advertising theme, including the tower above the bunker's entrance, recalls its historical significance.
This bunker is one of the most mysterious and dangerous underground structures in the city. Its features include a 30-meter descent and a complex system of corridors. In recent decades, the bunker was completely flooded, which did not stop adrenaline junkies from continuing to show interest in this place.
There is a legend among diggers that the bunkers of Beria, Kalinin and others in Samara are connected by the underground highway K-66. However, this theory has not yet been confirmed. Some unconfirmed reports indicate that several accidental deaths have occurred in the bunker, giving the place an even more mystical aura.
Beria's bunker has become an object of interest for divers and researchers. In 2010, a group of divers discovered a cache of papers there, but the documents turned out to be damaged by water. During one of the dives, the divers encountered carbon dioxide and unknown shadows, causing panic among them.
Currently, access to the bunker is completely closed due to security. Water continues to wash away the structure, creating the threat of walls collapsing and soil displacement. The water level inside the bunker is constantly increasing, which increases the danger of its detection.
The continued research interest in Beria's bunker indicates its significance as part of the historical heritage of the city of Samara and recalls the importance of preserving such objects for future generations.
