The British magazine “The Daily Mail” published an article about the project “1984. Survival drama” and called it “strangest European theme park”

Keri is led down into the bunker as a snarling alsatian snaps at her feet
But fun it isn’t. Ruta says this is a ‘social project’ to recreate life under Soviet rule in 1984 with a serious point to make.
Many Lithuanians still harbour a strange nostalgia for the dark days of Soviet occupation, choosing to remember the free health service and high levels of employment while burying memories of the tyranny that sent tens of thousands to death or exile in Siberia.

These tunnels, 15ft underground, were dug in 1983 and used to house emergency TV and radio studios in case of Nato attack. They were later used as a Soviet base during Lithuania’s successful struggle for independence in 1991, but have lain empty ever since.

Now Ruta, 52, is using them to ensure no one forgets the unpleasant truth of that era.
