Thanks for sharing! Unfortunately, the slide show is not working on my computer, and when I click on the thumbnails of the photos nothing happen either. I'll try again later.

Me neither, so it appears that they can build a good metro system, but not a good website to showcase it?

I'd like to see some of that excellent stained glass without the camera tricks

[StreetsOfGold]

stunning

Impressive. Not only have they gone to great lengths with their interior design, they've also figured out a way to warp the space time continuum.

I don't see any graffiti. Russia must be lacking 'enrichment'.

They also seem to have developed a train that can make sharp 90 degree turns. Very impressive.

The materials of Moscow and Leningrad metro are marble, bronze and semi-precious stones. It`s very difficult to estimate how much all this cost. They are also very deep and serve as a giant bunker in case of SHTF.

Are people actually allowed to use this station or is it for Putin and his ilk?

This was built 76 years ago by Stalin:

Looking at those pics give me the feeling I could drop two hits of LSD, dress up like this guy, walk around all day in there, and no one would look twice at me.

Why do they keep the tp on the ground? danm Ruskies.

[Horn]

Quite excellent ruskitecture.

[keehah]

Wooden ties in downtown subway lines.
Interesting to see how everything is preserved in its historical state. For ancient accuracy eh?


(Kidding mostly, loved the artwork!)

[steyr_m]

Really nice photos, but I'd like one or two that weren't taken with a fish-eye lens.

"Opulence, it has it!"
Just kiding the place looks very clean and the work looks very well done. It's nice to see.
