After Putin's threats of nuclear stroke: a man purchased a bunker for crazy money (photo, video)

The object itself once belonged to the Royal Corps of Observation (ROC) and was built in the 1950s at the beginning of the Cold War. The facility is one of the more than known 1500 monitoring posts built to protect volunteers to measure explosive waves and radioactive rainfall in the case of nuclear attack. However, after the Cold War, this object was neglected, which reached one owner for a symbolic amount.

Initially, the previous owner planned to sell an abandoned hopper for several thousand pounds. However, then they were restored, and the price for it increased in the bidding range from 15 to 20 thousand pounds. The winner put 29,000 pounds and won this auction. The media writes that the capacity of such a room allows you to store food and water for 14 days, and there are lines of power supply and radio. The object itself is located at a depth of 4.

5 m underground, which will have to descend an inconvenient ladder down. Currently, it does not have such amenities as Wi-Fi, a water supply or a toilet, but the ability to expand or increase the capabilities in the hopper. The representative of the SDL Property Auctions Auctions Andrew Parker noted that the infamous hopper "will be much more if you need it.

" He confesses that before the bidding, he said that he advises all the buyer "a glass list of those with whom you want to spend time if you are going to use it. " "Bunkers seem to be increasingly popular," Mr Parker notes. According to him, four such objects have already been sold at SDL Property Auctions. The man hopes that bidders "will never be able to use it for the intended purpose, except just to spend time for leisure.

" When asked by journalists, whether there were any information about the winner of the last auction, Mr. Parker refused to comment on this information. He replied that the policy of his company prohibits the disclosure of any data of the winners. In addition, it was the buyer who appealed to the SDL Property Auctions with a wish to "stay anonymous".

The journalists themselves ironically wrote that the purchase of the next bunker coincided with the latest statements by Vladimir Putin's leader about a probable nuclear strike in Western countries, including the United Kingdom. Earlier, the media reported that 37-year-old father of three children, John Graves, bought a similar bunker. He confessed that he bought this object and tried to return it to the authentic state, which he was in the early 1960s.
