In Irkutsk, police discovered an underground bunker under a private house, created in case of a “global catastrophe.” As reported by IrkutskMedia news agency with reference to the official representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Irina Volk, the criminal case against the owner was transferred to court.

Investigators were checking information about the drug laboratory and found a hatch in one of the rooms of the house leading to an underground structure. The walls there were reinforced with concrete and insulation, the premises were equipped with water, air and remote monitoring systems.

Inside were food supplies, as well as two pistols, ammunition, shell casings, knives, a tomahawk, handcuffs and silicone masks. The examination confirmed that the weapon and ammunition were suitable for firing.

During interrogation, the man explained that engineering was his hobby, and he built the bunker to survive in the event of a disaster. He allegedly found the weapon in the trash a year earlier and was going to hand it over to the police, but didn’t have time.

A criminal case was opened for illegal possession of weapons.
