Infamous for the bunkers constructed during World War II and throughout the Cold War, Stalin’s hideouts have maintained a shroud of secrecy for decades. Now, for the first time ever, new documents, along with a book banned in Russia, unveil the mysteries of the “Man of Steel’s” Soviet-era shelters. As we travel from his unassuming dacha in Lipki, to the sanctuary hidden in the forest in Sochi, all the way through the Moscow metro system, where a clandestine second metro line connects numerous high end bunkers for the USSR’s elite, we will uncover the true extent of the fortifications meant to secure Stalin from the threats of the West.
