Moskovskiy Metropoliten
I have studied Russia since the start of my academic career. It still amazes me as to how many people do not know the beauty that Russia has to offer, especially architecturally. There is St. Basil's, which is probably the most famous architectural monument in Russia, but one thing that really makes me squeal in delight is the Moscow Metro. Designed during the reign of Stalin, the metro stations were supposed to be a highlight of the sophistication and opulence enjoyed by the Russian people (although this may not have been the case factually, these metro stations still truly scream luxury).

what the bloody hell man??! our subway stations smell like pee - and there's usually a couple of drunks passed out up north!! I want, nay, DESERVE a subway station as beautiful as the ones above because I have to commute so much!
Lovely photos.
Everything is SO damn beautiful, wow.
Yep, Russia has a lot of beautiful things!
I'm such a big fan of the metro stations too. When I first took the metro in Europe, I was kind of in shock, because I was used to all this beauty.
You've met Daria?! I am so jealous!! =]

I can't wait to go to Russia... I am fluent in it and it is close to my culture, but I never got the chance to stop there for few days.
Their palaces are also breathtaking... I think that too many architectural classes overlook Russian architecture, I always wondered why? :S

I LOVE train stations - in Europe that is, such a romantic element to them despite the new technology. Those ones are works of art, plain and simple!
I thought that the Metro in DC had the nicest train stations until I saw these. I definitely need to get out more.
