Unwanted Atomiс Submarines
The village of Porchinikha was made by soldiers as a base for atomic submarines. It’s the most northern point of the Kola Peninsula on the Barents Sea shore with the road. There are mistakes in maps, soviet cartographers put this road on the map instead of a corvine path. Drive on the off-road? I wouldn’t be that sure.
I found this place long time ago, when discovered a world of geocashing in 2004. One of the virtual caches buried here as well. It’s amazing but since 2003 (the date of the cache burying) no one took it, everyone puzzled: “Is it a foot or a water path?” Everyone saw satellite photos and couldn’t get how it is possible at all to get here without taking off the ground.
Polar Submarines
There are a lot of Russian submarines cruising through the cold waters of Arctics, sometimes being caught in ice, sometimes giving magnificent looks to the dwellers of Russian polar villages, like a huge atomic submarine among icebergs of cold sea at dawn.
Russian Underground Submarine Base
It was a big underground submarine base and docks once in USSR. After the Soviet Union collapsed and Russian army left Ukraine it was partly abandoned and some of its parts was converted into a museum later.
First Missile Submarine in Russia, Then and Now

Some time ago we had photos of this Russian submarine rising near the populated beach. Now Hayt has submitted the video version of this event:
Murmansk Military Objects
Imagine we are foreign intelligence service agents and we spy for Russian military bases. Just a few years ago it was impossible, not to mention how it was impossible during the iron curtain era. But now thanks to google we can see all the top secret Russian objects clearly on those shots.
Russia still stays very militarized country.
If to explore with Google earth just a small part of it, the Murmansk region (one of many of Russian regions) which is located next to Norway and Finland, we can meet tens of military objects, mainly Russian Navy ones.
Here they are:
