Evacuation to Kuibyshev (1941)
On the Stalin’s Soviet Union map as “Kuibyshev”
Oct 1941 — As the Germans neared Moscow, the government, foreign embassies and the Bolshoi Theatre were evacuated to Kuibyshev on the Volga, where a deep bunker was later dug for Stalin. He never used it: he stayed in Moscow, and the decision steadied a panicking capital.
