Photos and maps of Vladimir Putin's massive underground lair built beneath his palace by the Black Sea have been leaked.
The Gelendzhik Palace is warmonger Putin's hideaway in southern Russia - complete with its own church, ice rink, casino and hookah lounge.
The sprawling £1bn mansion is bigger than Buckingham Palace and perched atop the cliffs of the Krasnodar region with a view of the Black Sea.
According to plans posted online by the engineering firm behind the project, the Russian president ordered the construction of the tunnels which lie about 50 metres below the surface of his lair.
A closed-down Russian construction firm that built the tunnels posted the diagrams online as proof of their good work, according to Business Insider.
Metro Style published the images on its website in the early 2010s, describing the project as an "underground complex for a resort" in Gelendzhik, the town closest to Putin’s palace.
The diagrams reveal that the cavernous system of bunkers have ventilation systems, as well as sewerage and freshwater supply.
The entire underground complex spans 6,500 square feet, with a lift shaft connecting the complex to the two tunnels.
Exits from both tunnels are visible on the cliff face rising up from the sea to the palace.
While the photos were removed from the firm's website, they have been dragged up from the archive by someone working anonymously.
The unnamed man said he belonged to a group called “Sect Z” and told Business Insider that he was sharing the images "because we are tired of Putin’s stupid face and want to show his paranoid underground transport."
The lower tunnel includes a moving walkway leading to the exit.
Thaddeus Gabryszewski, a structural engineer familiar with defensive structures who reviewed the diagrams for Insider said there is a fire and water system, as well as a sewer.
"This tunnel set-up has all kinds of safety and security", he said.
Mark Galeotti, the author of ‘Putin’s Wars: From Crimea to Ukraine’, told The Telegraph he thinks the underground complex is somewhere the brute can use as a safe evacuation route rather than a place to live during a nuclear attack.
He said: "These tunnels are not bunkers. For it to be properly secure you have to be able to close it off."
Putin's palace is cut off from the rest of the country, with 17,000 acres of woodland and a special no-fly zone.
Many see these precautions as deep paranoia from the President who is currently invading Ukraine.
"Putin has a lot of anxiety about being the not-entirely-legitimate leader of Russia," Michael C. Kimmage, a former State Department official who worked on Russia and Ukraine policy told Insider.
"So knowing that his legitimacy is not entirely secured by elections, he is going to seek to maximize his personal safety through a complex of well-defended personal residences."
