Rubbing dog noses under underground chandeliers

Pierce the surface through one of the long escalators and you will discover a city within a city, the underground Moscow. In this metro network, history has intertwined within the steel beams and ingrained inside the marble pavements. It was conceived during the Russian Empire but the first World War, the October Revolution and the subsequent Civil War put a stop to all plans. The dormant project only grew wings after a massive mobilization of workers and resources, led in a frantic pace by the Communist party.
