Scenes from a subterranean factory in Russia's capital.

Russian police raided the underground settlement Tuesday, hidden beneath a Moscow market, where over 200 migrant workers were kept illegally to sewing clothing.

A Russian Interior Ministry video showed a complex of rooms with work spaces, living quarters, a cafe, a cinema, a casino and a chicken coop.

Police made arrests at the site.

In 2011, another similar underground settlement of migrants was discovered by police in an abandoned Soviet-era bomb shelter in the western part of the city.
