The Moscow subway system is really interesting. These photos don’t do it justice. I’m sure there is a ton of info online in regards to the history of the system. Built by the Soviets the subway system is a working monument for the common people.
Most stations are super clean, spotless, I couldn’t believe how clean they are. NYC stations are filthy and dusty. Moscow’s stations don’t have the dusty grime that is ubiquitous in NYC stations. Trains came quickly and efficiently, never a problem. The trains themselves were really old and seemed to work just fine.
The stations pictured below are regular stations packed with people and heavily used everyday, not just for tourists like San francisco cable cars, really impressive.
Almost all the platforms were about double to triple the width of a station here in NYC and the ceilings were much higher.

Above is a relatively simple station, and even here the materials are impressive. Materials at almost every station I visited were top notch, marble, granite, and other types of stone expertly laid out and very well maintained.
Impressive metal work.
Some stations look like the halls of old museums.
Details were amazing. Notice no grime and dust.


Station dedicated to Dmitry Mendeleyev inventor of The Periodic Table of Elements. I didn’t get a photo, but another version of these “molecule” inspired lamps were also on the platform where the trains stopped, very nicely done.
Insides look the same as anywhere.
More soon.

The Moscow subway system is hands down the most beautiful in the world.
The stations are super deep! NYC has deep stations too, but on average the stations in Moscow are 3 - 4 times as deep. I was told this is because The Soviet military built the system.
I could not believe how clean the stations are and how efficient the trains ran. I never waited more than 5 minutes at the most.
I will post more photos this week if not later today.

Kind of nervous at first.

Gettin busy on the Monument/Krink snowboard.

Went to the Statue of Liberty the other day. Nice day.
