Located at Balaklava on the Crimean peninsula.
‘The base remained operational after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 until 1993 when the decommissioning process started. In 1996, the last Russian submarine left the base, which is now open to the public for guided tours’.

Thank you to Russos
The illuminated stairs under water are just killer! Wow.
Whoa. Creepy.
The writing on the wall on the second photo reads “Remember the war” in Russian.
Throwing it out there just in case.
(For most of the former USSR, the second World War is ’41-’45, not ’39-’45, because we were actively invaded in 1941)
Looks like the set of Lost
Mind-boggling to think of the amount of work involved in building the thing
hauntingly beautiful.
@Cyril: Thank you for the additional information.
