VLADIVOSTOK, Russia -- Bunkered in a hillside above the port city where Russia's Pacific Fleet anchors, Slavyansky Khleb may be one of the most secure bakeries on the planet.
The steel doors -- big enough to drive a van through -- are nearly 13-cm thick. The walls are reinforced concrete. There are water reservoirs, a filter to scrub radioactive contamination from the air and enough space to sleep director Sergei Prishchepin, his eight employees and 1,991 of their closest friends in case of nuclear war.
"This has everything: It has sewage treatment facilities, it has an electrical generator, it has air conditioning," Prishchepin said.
