Inside they have a model of a nuclear blast for some reason. The reason is that the entire shelter appears to have been turned into a tourist attraction.

I think that the Soviets and today Russians still have these, and they are much more modern I am sure. Russia has the most extensive civil defense system in the world geared for nuclear combat.
Perhaps there would be more Russians alive after a nuclear war than Americans. They certainly have experienced the effects of war on their civilians first hand, where the US hasn’t had such experience since the civil war.

We have Fall Out Shelters all over the US.
They have just been blocked off and forgotten.
Many are under schools built in the late 50's & early 60's

For 2 years I worked in a bomb shelter that was built in 1958. It had been repurposed to a a County EOC. It was located on the grounds of the DuPage County complex in Wheaton IL.
The internal electronic gear, radios, etc, had been upgraded of course, but the bones of the place were the flower of 1958 technology. 3 foot thick steel reinforced concrete walls, 25 feet underground, and concealed underneath the States Attorneys Office. Most of them didn’t even know we were working directly underneath them.
The cots looked just about the same as these do. I’m pretty sure the mattresses were original as there were a couple occasions I slept down there.
There was even a “hot phone” that supposedly was hooked directly to DC. We were told that if that one were ever to ring sh** was going to get real.
They demolished it a couple years ago. It was an interesting place to work.

Actually it was white and had only 2 buttons. There was no glass cover for it. But I badly wanted to put one over it.
