We are now 10 km from Sevastopol, in a suburb of Sevastopol called Balaklava, in the Crimea, Ukraine (But now March 2014, it looks like the Crimean peninsula is part of Russia instead 
Will it be the same with the Baltic contries, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania soon? 
-Now when the Russian bear sharpens its claws... :mad
Here you can visit a former topsecret Soviet underground base where they maintained and repaired submarines. The facility, which originally had the name "Object 825 GТС" located deep inside a mountain at Balaklava bay.
After the fall of the USSR in 1991, Ukraine became an independent state. 1993 closed the submarine base and 1996, the last Russians plant then left largely unattended. In 2000 was presented on more or less abandoned the plant to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and in early 2003 it became a museum. (And in 2015, active Russian base again? And Ukraine a forced part of Greater Russia? )
The base was said to be nearly indestructible, designed to withstand a direct hit from a small nuclear bomb. Construction of the plant began in 1957 and ended in in 1961. The base is carved into the rocks and the inside covered with reinforced concrete. If the threat of nuclear attack could base shut hermetically by means of the automatic doors weighing 120 tons. The facility had its own bakery, warehouses for storage of food and fuel, even a small hospital. They also stored nuclear weapons in the rock.
The facility could maintain / repair and stock 7 pcs. submarines at once, but up to 14 submarines could fit inside the plant at the same time. The water depth in the tunnels is 8 feet, width 8 to 12 meters, height 18 meters. The length of the channels / tunnels for submarines is 380 meters.
There were at least 50 guards deployed to protect the plant from outsiders. It was very difficult to get permission to travel to / visit the town of Balaklava . A special KGB department were on hand to keep track of the employees who worked in the plant. The correct answer was expected : - "I do not know where I work, and I have no idea what I'm doing here , and I do not remember anything ".....
A few images directly in this repot, I am so upset that Ukraine can not get to live its life as a free state, and only prepared a few pictures for 28dayslater, but there are more (43) and larger images HERE!
