Moskva - The Metro

10th April 2006

The Moskva Metro is the World's Busiest Underground Railway. Construction began in the 1930's and was largely completed by the end of the 1950s. Many of the stations were extravagantly decorated in the Socialist-Realist style, making this the most beautiful metropolitan railway in the world.
