Russians advised to "turn to God, leave town" amid bomb shelter shortage

Russians living in the capital, Moscow, are reportedly being advised to "turn to God" in the event of an attack on the city amid a lack of usable bomb shelters.

Local authorities are hiding the addresses of air-raid shelters from the public and are repairing them only for government officials and members of Russian President Vladimir Putin's ruling United Russia party, the "Mozhem Obyasnit" (We Can Explain) Russian Telegram news channel reported.

A year after the city's mayor issued an edict to make air-raid shelters available to the public, the majority of bomb shelters in Moscow are still unusable, with many long abandoned, while some have been rented out as commercial premises, Mozhem Obyasnit found.
