It all must be true if it's on youtube.
Debt levels are pretty useless in showing a countries abilities or not. A country making 15 trillion dollars a year with the world's best military can afford a larger debt than a country making 10% of that and with a history of unstable government.
Also, I doubt those cities are occupied if they actually exist. And in case you didn't know, a ground-blast nuke applies to a bunker buster irradiates such places, more or less making them irrelevant
Today, Russia may be conducting nuclear deception on a far vaster scale beneath Yamantau Mountain, where it has dug out a gigantic underground military complex designed to withstand a sustained nuclear assault. U.S. intelligence sources tell WorldNetDaily that the Yamantau complex is but one of some 200 secret deep underground nuclear war-fighting sites in Russia, many of which have been significantly upgraded over the past six years at a cost of billions of dollars.

The potential lifesaving effectiveness of the Soviet CD program is not a matter of unanimous agreement. However, several studies estimate casualty rates as low as two to three percent of the Soviet population in the event of nuclear war.25 Table I provides a Summary comparison of CD-related factors between the U.S. and U.S. S. R., including some apparent perceptions of U.S. and Soviet leaders concerning their CD programs.26 This divergence in emphasis and perception may have an impact on U.S. national security strategy

At this particular interview, Major-General Keegan produced thousands of photographs, pamphlets, and "open-source documents" on Soviet military sites and civil defense projects in proof of his assertions upon these matters. In the words of Major-General Keegan: "American strategy is premised on the principle of war avoidance, while that of the Soviet Union is premised on war winning . . . The difference is a profound one.

In the interview he said quite categorically that he believes Russia has already achieved military superiority over the U.S.
He spoke of the astonishing civil defense measures which have been developed, and continue to be developed, in the Soviet Union. He stated that 25% of all Russian factory workers are in training programs preparing them for civil defense leadership roles. Major defense manufacturing facilities in Russia have been dispersed well clear of all existing major industrial areas so as to afford a large measure of protection for those industries in the event of nuclear war. Keegan alleged that he was in possession of ample evidence to show that the Russians are in the process of building up huge stocks of foods and grains, in preparation for war. He said that all the evidence points to the fact that the Russians are not merely aiming for superiority but are "preparing for war. . . ." Evidence available quite openly in Russia, contained in Soviet literature, shows that already the Soviets have constructed enough mass-shelters in key strategic industrial areas to protect More than sixty million from nuclear attack. Bunkers have been provided for the civilian population in all main cities, including several which are the size of football fields. "My collection team." said the Major-General. "have identified grain-storage bunkers the size of several football fields on the perimeter of all main cities, guarded by the military -- the most elaborate of their kind in the world. We are observing the most extensive peace-time war preparations in recorded history. . ."

and the world's best military lol... your military imports guidance systems for tomahawks from china,totally dependent on china for REEs and no massive underground cities/bunkers for civilian protection and you call yourself most advanced. You are a ex-superpower like the USSR of 1989.
russian bunkers and cities are well fortified to withstand mass nuclear assault particularly Yamantau ,Uragan Defence ,Norilsk facility and the facilities in Kamchatka peninsula. also there are other smaller underground bunkers in the magnitude of thousands like recently russian govt announced its constructing 5000 bunkers near moscow by 2012 for civilian protection and survival.
soviets estimated 75% populace would survive , but CIA assumed in best case scenario , with 5 million-10 civilian losses
