Only a handful of people know the exact location where President Vladimir Putin is celebrating his 70th birthday in St. Petersburg on Friday, but critics say he spends more and more of his time isolated deep inside nuclear bunkers.
that Putin is planning “to use tactical nuclear weapons out of a bunker, far from Moscow,” while Kremlinologists debate how to prevent a looming doomsday scenario.
“That part looked really insane,” 17-year-old student Vitaly Shatrov from St. Petersburg, whose last name has been changed for privacy reasons, told The Daily Beast. “Putin, who many compare to Hitler for the violence against Ukrainian people, speaks with teachers from some bunker about Nazis.” Another famous hiding place is almost 1,000 miles away from Moscow in the republic of Bashkortostan, in the southern Ural mountains. The construction of this immense network of bunkers began under Boris Yeltsin, but the project was frozen after the fall of the USSR. Western spies have suggested the huge underground complex could house between 100,000 and 300,000 people; others suggested it was a nuclear command post or a storage for secret weapons.
“Putin is going to hide in a bunker in case of a nuclear war,” he said. “But he is not safe there either; he will be destroyed—that’s what Biden should tell Putin clearly now.”
