Translated from source:

Hobbit house as a bomb shelter: a fabulous shelter for schoolchildren appeared in Gostomel in the Kiev region

It was made this way to minimize stress for children during sirens. There are many painted cats, a fireplace, books and even a Hobbit hat.

Hobbit house is designed for 55 people. However, an experiment during the last children's party showed that more than 70 children and adults could comfortably stay in the shelter .

The creator of such a miracle bomb shelter was the Gurtum Charity Foundation.

@Wilshire Looks fantastic. Could have been nicer with some more actual furniture if possible - e.g. a real bookshelf

I wonder if they wanted to not restrict its capacity by taking up floor space with furniture. Though, I do agree a bookcase with some material would be a nice addition.

Aww, what a nice idea.
