Mezhgorye, Russia
We understand that there are exclusive campgrounds and communities, but entire towns?
In the Ural Mountains lies Mezhgorye, approximately 120 miles from Ufa, the capital of the Republic of Bashkortostan. The town, founded in 1979, is rumored to be the home of a nuclear missile site. It hasn’t been confirmed, but people believe that the site holds automatic missiles that can be detonated remotely. Two battalions guard the town to prevent people from entering. The only images of the town that we have were taken by satellites. The Kremlin says that the site is used as an emergency bunker for Russian leaders, a vault for the nation’s treasures and mining.
For all we know the site could hold nuclear weapons, but most likely, we’ll never know.
