The beginning of the Cold War led to the construction in Europe of many nuclear shelters. Some of them were huge installations, like the F-4 Objektum.<\/p>\n
This huge underground bunker, also known as the R\u00e1kosi Bunker<\/strong> (since its construction began during the rule of the dictator M\u00e1ty\u00e1s R\u00e1kosi), was built underground in Budapest<\/strong>, with underground galleries that connected with the subway and with the Parliament of Hungary. Its large dimensions, with some 3,800 square meters, could have housed up to 2,200 people, but it was secretly prepared to house around 250 members of the communist elite<\/strong> in the event of a nuclear attack.<\/p>\n The huge bunker was kept in the strictest secrecy until the fall of communism. The people of Hungary only learned of its existence in 1994<\/strong>, due to a documentary filmed by Zolt\u00e1n D\u00e9zsi. Today the bunker is abandoned and very deteriorated, but curiously its galleries still have electricity and the facilities are checked periodically.<\/strong> Even today it is unknown how many access tunnels this huge bunker has, which Gives an idea of its dimensions. The channel Exploring the Unbeaten Path<\/a> has released an interesting video today exploring this bunker:<\/strong><\/p>\n
