There wasn’t much time for a proper photo session in Moscow, unfortunately. The only one was in the Moscow Metro Circle line–Koltsevaya line.
It took about 90 minutes to hop on and off the train at each of the twelve stations. I wish I had more time but had to regroup with others to see a circus. Otherwise, it could have been a real joy to explore the details of the unique decors of each station. More than that, juxtapositions of contemporary local commuters and the Soviet Union architectures built during the Cold War were truly fascinating.
While taking the Metro, I just couldn’t help thinking of the London Underground I experienced the year before. Even though the navigation for passengers couldn’t top London, it was still easy to get around and very efficient, especially, for a megacity like this. And to have permanent public arts (even they were propagandas, then and now) in public transport set Moscow Metro apart from any other city in the world.
