Were afraid of Putin: The British told how people pleaded to let them into the nuclear bunker

A British farmer, who owns a former government "secret nuclear bunker", stated that he was offering proposals to provide a place in the event that Moscow began the Third World War. In the United Kingdom, a 76-year-old Essex farmer Mike Perrish bought a bunker from the government in the early 1990s, after he created a secret shelter there in the midst of the Cold War. About it writes Daily Express.

A man from Kelvedend Hatch, located near Brentwood (Essex County), ready for long -term residence in the hopper in the case of a nuclear stroke. Under it there are reserves of water and canned food, as well as sewage. According to Mike, after September 11, 2011, people offered up to £ 30,000 for a place in the bunker, and anxiety about Putin's flirtation with nuclear weapons forces worried people to contact him again.

The British, who controls a bunker as a museum, buying it for an unnamed amount after decommissioning in 1994, says that only a wild offer will make him open it to the public. "So now we have Ukraine . . . And this time we had 15 people who asked for a place. But, of course, I learned to say:" Well, if you have 500,000 in liquid assets, we will talk to you. " You will be here for 10-15 years, you will need a lot of food, "he said.

According to him, staying underground after a nuclear stroke will probably last more than a decade and all this must be underground. However, people do not understand it. "You will be here 10-15 years old, you will need a lot of food. People are superficial, they still think that you will go down underground, get up next morning and continue work-it's not. Under the ground and you will be there as much as you need, " - thinks the farmer.

The publication notes that earlier it was assumed that in the case of nuclear strike in the United Kingdom, the Prime Minister and Higher State Officials, who would manage the country from the ground, were to be in this bunker. The Farm in Essex, located only 29 miles from Down Street, was ideally suited to become a government headquarters if the country is covered by radiation.

The plot of land required for the construction of the hopper was forcibly redeemed by the state in 1952 at the initial stage of the Cold War. "Under the threat of forced purchase, the government took these 25 acres in the center of the farm, took out a hill with a bulldozer, built a bunker, put it in place, and then we began to agriculture so that the Russians did not learn about its existence," Mike Perrish said about the agreement.
