Stalin is notorious for his secret bunkers built during World War II and the Cold War, which have remained shrouded in mystery for years. For the first time, newly released documents and a book banned in Russia reveal the secrets behind the "Man of Steel's" Soviet-era hideouts. Our journey takes us from his modest dacha in Lipki to a concealed sanctuary in the Sochi woods, and even through the Moscow metro system, where a hidden second metro line links several luxurious bunkers designed to protect the USSR's elite from Western threats.
