I was tea...I went to the Taganskaya bunker in 2009. I was teaching English in a private school~200km south West of Moscow. Met my not wife, not in the bunker, in English Club off Pushkin Square.<br /><br />Unfortunately the Ismailovski stadium bunker was closed when I was there. Apparently you can travel in the tunnels from one complex to the other as part of the excursion?<br /><br />It reminds me of the joke:<br /><br />Yankee spy on assignment in Russia is tasked with finding a secret underground installation. His superiors give him one tip - it is located near the 17th century church dedicated to Maria.<br /><br />Spy goes out to the district he knows has a church that matches the description. He then asks Babushka sitting on bench.<br /><br />Excuse me, please could you direct me to the 17th century church dedicated to Maria.<br /><br />Of course young man, replies Babushka. Take this road to the end, turn left continue on until you cross the railway shortly after is the entrance to a secret underground complex, the church is opposite. Be a dear and light a candle for me, today is my saints Day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07326548476267575039noreply@blogger.com
