As the New Year approaches, a covert military unit, designated as 26116 and operating under the Main Directorate of Special Programs of the Presidential Administration, has made a notable procurement. This unit, responsible for safeguarding President Putin’s bunkers located beneath Mount Yamantau in Bashkiria, has placed an order for fifty specialized “bags for the evacuation of documents.”

The purchase was disclosed in a government contract, raising questions about the unit’s heightened state of readiness and the specific purpose of these evacuation bags. Mount Yamantau has long been rumored to house expansive underground facilities, often speculated to serve as emergency command centers or secure bunkers.

While the details of the contract remain classified, the timing of the order—coinciding with increased global tensions—suggests the ongoing importance of safeguarding sensitive materials in emergency scenarios.

This development offers a rare glimpse into the secretive measures undertaken to ensure the security of high-level operations within Russia’s most guarded infrastructure.
