One of the oldest and most popular metro systems in the world. Its stations are of historical importance, as their architecture was extremely elaborate and used to advance communist supremacy.
Work on the metro began in the 1930s and was first opened in 1935. The idea behind the Metro was to get the public involved and believe in the Stalinist regime. Metro stations were built with so much care and beauty that even today the metro system in Moscow remains one of the most ambitious architectural projects ever undertaken. Especially the first 13 metro stations became famous around the world and were the last tool to convince the people of Moscow to believe in the communist regime. The future and grandeur of the Stalinist era were sold to him as he traveled the metro every day. Some of the most awe-inspiring metro stations of this era are Mayakovskaya, Revolution Square, Kievskaya, Prospect Mira, and many more. The first four phases of the metro, built-in 1953, are the most beautiful. The dazzling beauty that the stations had since then has diminished considerably.
