Impressions of Moscow: Beautiful triumphal arches and the oldest subway.

The former Soviet Union was a great country that made a significant contribution to the world during World War II. The renovated triumphal arches and World War II Victory Square are all commemorative buildings, including the Moscow University we passed by, all of which are magnificent and gorgeous. As early as 1935 (the Soviet Union was indeed developed, we had nothing at this time), the Soviet government decided to build the Moscow subway for wartime air defense needs, claiming that it could provide shelter for 4 million residents; the elevator of the No. 1 subway line slowly extended to the underground, the lights were a bit dim, like going to explore the underground castle or the gloomy cell, it is said that the maximum drop from the ground to the station is 100 meters. After all, it was the construction level 80 years ago. The style is obviously old, but the materials are still very particular. The ground is made of marble and granite, the walls are made of ceramics and colored glass to inlay the relief pictures of the Soviet era, and the chandeliers are still used. The entire station is like a magnificent underground palace; The colorful spray-painted subway stopped in the station with a sense of age, and there was a contrasting beauty; I took a stop to experience it. The bumps of the subway and the noise in the carriage made people very uncomfortable, but the people of Moscow could accept it. Reading quietly in the carriage; arriving at another station, it is a different style and different historical story picture. Coordinates: Line 1, a total of 26 stations, the earliest subway line built in 1935, used by approximately 1.7 million people daily, and is recognized as the most beautiful subway station in the world. Cost: The one-way fare for the Moscow subway is about 40 rubles.
