Inauguration of a multimedia museum at a secret Soviet submarine base in the Crimea

The city of Balaclava in the Crimea witnessed the inauguration of a unique museum.

It is a multimedia museum that was created inside the secret Soviet base that was established in the era of the Cold War under the level of the Black Sea in the rocks of the Crimean Peninsula as a nuclear cache for submarines.
The museum will operate directly inside the bunker, simulating the atmosphere of a secret facility using modern multimedia technologies.

The opening ceremony of the museum was attended by the deputy and defense minister of Russia, Timur Ivanov, who said in a speech that a real Soviet-made submarine will enter the underground bunker next fall to help simulate the conditions of the secret submarine base.

He explained that the submarine is currently still in storage. Technical measures will be taken to dismantle the storage, and then be towed by sea to the underwater base.

It is noteworthy that the construction of the secret naval complex in the Russian city of Balaklava took 8 years, and within it a submarine repair plant and a branching network of various underwater tunnels were built. The underwater Soviet secret base was able to withstand the explosion of an atomic bomb that was many times more powerful than the American atomic bomb that targeted the Japanese city of Hiroshima in 1945.
