Blaze destroys part of Putin’s mountain ‘palace’ equipped with ‘nuclear bunker’ after months of mysterious ‘sabotage fires’ at Russian facilities believed to be linked to Ukraine

A mysterious fire has destroyed part of a Russian mountain palace frequented by Vladimir Putin.

Hell broke out at a secret hideout said to be equipped with a large underground nuclear bunker.

The Altai mountain refuge is also home to the dictator’s facilities for the “barbaric” extraction of deer blood from antlers for “medicinal” baths intended to increase sexual potency and restore youth.

One of the buildings in the remote complex, where Putin once entertained former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, was completely destroyed by the fire.

The extent of damage to the complex’s main residence is unclear.

The cause of the fire has not yet been established, but it comes after months of “sabotage fires” at key Russian facilities sparked by drone attacks by Ukrainians and enemies of Putin’s brutal war against kyiv.

Authorities declined to comment on the fire, news outlet Sirena reported.

But images showed raging flames at the sprawling complex, which is officially owned by Gazprom but is one of a series of luxury palaces across Russia used by the Russian president.

The fire was revealed by blogger Amyr Aitashev and activist Aruna Arna.

Ordinary Russians are not allowed near the elite hideout, called Altai Yard.

The security services say that it is “a specially protected facility intended for the recreation of senior state officials.”

But opposition researchers are sure that the vast property situated in the middle of a stunning mountain landscape in the Altai Republic is linked to Putin.

There were reports of a high-tech bunker being built at the facility for use by Putin and his family in the event of a nuclear war.

The palace is located in the Ongudaysky district of the Altai Republic, a region of Siberia bordering Mongolia, China and Kazakhstan.

Observers have noted multiple ventilation points in the grounds surrounding the mountain hideaway and a high-voltage line connected to an ultra-modern 110 kilovolt substation, enough to power a small town.

During construction, large German tunnel diggers were reported to have been on site.

In the complex there is a maral deer farm where the antlers are cut from Siberian deer so that Putin and his cronies can take bloodbaths.

The ancient tradition is considered a testosterone-driven elixir to enhance male potency, but it also provides multiple health benefits.

There is also a theory that it slows aging in women, but medical evidence as a cure for the ailments is lacking.

Before a visit by Putin, 70 kilograms of deer antlers were prepared for the Russian leader to “give himself a bloodbath.”

Animal rights activists have criticized the use of unanaesthetized power saws to cut off the magnificent velvety antlers of deer at these breeding centres.

Observers say the creatures are left “bewildered” and “shocked” by the brutal practice.

The Russian president is believed to have been introduced to the bloodbaths by his former defense minister, Sergei Shoigu, who is now head of security for the Russian security council.

Irina Novozhilova, president of the Russian Animal Protection Center ‘Vita’, described the practice as medieval.

«The ancients believed that they could heal themselves with the help of animal body parts.

«In medieval times they also believed in healing substances. I remember stories about the damned Countess Báthory who enjoyed bathing in the blood of young girls.

And King James I of England regularly bathed in animal blood.

“Both of these facts sound far-fetched today, but a parallel can be drawn with these legal deer farms.”
