Russia takes civil defence serious as a heart attack they have shelter space for the entire population of Moscow for at least a month twice the length need for fallout decay. Look up at the link above that’s one of hundreds of doors in their deep subway system that was set deeper than needed specifically to be used as fallout shelters. Hate on Russia all you want but she takes a keen interest in the survivability of the Rodina.
Just something to consider: Are these preparations the Russians have still operational? These were made during the Cold War, and there have been MANY changes in Russian ideas and politics since then.
I mean...if the balloon does go up, what’s to say that a group of Russian people survive in one of those bunkers, only to go to one of those ‘pre-positioned supplies’ and find that it’s been looted long ago by the Russian Mob? Or that the government forgot about it (because they had no money to maintain them)?
They certainly used to care about their civilians...but what about today?
