5 treasures of Moscow’s Metro: Check out these stunning Blue Line stations

https://www.rbth.com/arts/2017/08/17/5-treasures-of-moscows-metro-check-out-these-stunning-blue-line-stations_824162

There are definitely some Grand stations along the blue line, my line until a few days ago. Every day I got off at Ploshchad Revolutsii for my change to Teatralnaya.

One thing I've never understood is this bragging about "the longest platform". Surely a metro train can only be as long as the shortest platform on the line. I wonder what if any reason there was for having different lengths of metro platforms.

I doubt one would have considered Moscow a village, but it has really grown and modernized over the last half century.

Can you believe less than 50 years ago Moscow was a village?

???  Having just left Moscow- I saw the 'Lion's Head's' exterior - looked like any other Moscow shop front - not an inviting bar - and we ate out at an Azeri Restaurant - 1 km south of Kazansky railway station - having dropped off my trusty motor - to be delivered to Sochi - by train.

The Lions Head may be brilliant - but I can't see it attracting ex-pats given it's modern facade and like of a handing pub sign ;(
I have never claimed to be a Blue Beret

Spurious claims about 'seeing action' with the Blue Berets are debunked >here<
