Great!

Se guardate il profilo del nuovo arrivato, risulta che dai dati da lui immessi, è un moscovita.

Benvenuto al nuovo amico russo.

Thanks to everybody for hospitality.
If you like my fotos just comment it.

Welcome!
And thanks for the very nice pictures! I've never been in Russia (therefore in Moskow too...) but as long as I know, some of the most beautiful, in architectural way, metro stations are located in Berlin, Paris (I were in both cities) and Moskow.
I will wait other interesting fotos!

Thanks again!
Luca

i was in Paris and Berlin, but i didn't find there any station that would be as beutiful as Moscow metro stations...

Welcom Tram in Moscow!
Your stations look like very beautiful!
Davide.

I went in Paris one time, I take the underground only two times, but I saw only "normal" stations. Maybe there are some important stations with a beautiful design, but I have heard that in Moscow (and St Petersburg) nearly all are well designed, like some museums!

Moscow metro is like museum of Socialist art.

The most outstanding of them are Mayakovskaya with Deineka mosaiks. And Ploshad revolutsii (Revolution square) with statues of womens and other soviet people.

Welcome to Tram in Moscow and thanks a lot for joining us and for your beautiful pictures!


I've never been to Moscow too, but I know that its underground stations are famous for their beauty and charme. And your photos really prove it. Thanks again.

Bye bye
Mauro

W MOCKBA!

Very nice to meet you, Tram in Moscow! I hope you will insert many other images again, wonderful like these. The architecture of these stations is very attractive. In Naples we're trying to do the same thing with the Line 1, many stations of which are very amazing by an architectural and artistic point of view.

Ciao Ivan

Welcome to MondoTram, and thank you for the beautiful pictures you posted. I lived almost four years in Moscow (from mid 1996 to the end of 1999. Not an easy time for Russia, by the way) and appreciated, among many other things, the gorgeous metro system (dedicated to V.I. Lenin, as far as I remember).

About your pictures, please note that pics posted on this forum should not be wider than 500 pixels. As you can see, I modified the images you posted to comply with our standard. If in the future you decide to post more pics, please use the same system I applied;

I live in Moscow (born here and love my city very much)
I'm student architect.
I notised that you said about size of images. I will be posted them in right size.
thats for example that I understand you.

(sorry for my bad english)

Nice to meet you, Ivan; I've never been in Moskow, but I've heard a lot about the underground system, quite special. Can you give us some informations, for instance when the system was opened, how many lines are there, and so on ...
Thanks, Franco

... for your cooperation

Your English is quite good, by the way (much better than my Russian now).

Antonio

For the begining small information:
First line of Moscow metropolitain with 11 stations was opened in 1935 y.
Now it has 170 stations and 11 lines + light metro line and monorail system.

Ho notato che Antonio ha apportato alcune correzioni alla mia dizione inglese, che è alquanto carente in quanto non lo studio più dal 1977, cioè dal 5° ginnasio. Ovviamente queste correzioni sono graditissime, dal momento che nessuno meglio di lui, fra di noi, può farlo...
Thanks, Antonio.
