What is under Moscow?
I Stumbled Upon (just download it and change your internet life forever) this really wonderful article about a bunch of people who have taken to exploring the vast, incredible network of places underneath Moscow. Just incredible:
"Discoveries began with the first expeditions. Through manholes and building basements the boys wriggled into labyrinths under the Russian capital. First, they explored the bomb shelters under Leningradsky Prospekt, then they came across an Academy of Oceanology warehouse. "Imagine walking along endless corridors," recalls Mikhailov, "something dripping from the ceiling, the uneven light of torches. And all of sudden you find yourself in a room full of tanks of formalin, containing various sea monsters."It gets much, much weirder....
