The Moscow Metro Museum of Art: 10 Must-See Stations

There are few times one can claim having been on the subway all afternoon and loving it, but the Moscow Metro provides just that opportunity.  While many cities boast famous public transport systems—New York’s subway, London’s underground, San Salvador’s chicken buses—few warrant hours of exploration.  Moscow is different: Take one ride on the Metro, and you’ll find out that this network of railways can be so much more than point A to B drudgery.

The Metro began operating in 1935 with just thirteen stations, covering less than seven miles, but it has since grown into the world’s third busiest transit system ( Tokyo is first ), spanning about 200 miles and offering over 180 stops along the way.  The construction of the Metro began under Joseph Stalin’s command, and being one of the USSR’s most ambitious building projects, the iron-fisted leader instructed designers to create a place full of svet (radiance) and svetloe budushchee (a radiant future), a palace for the people and a tribute to the Mother nation.

Consequently, the Metro is among the most memorable attractions in Moscow.  The stations provide a unique collection of public art, comparable to anything the city’s galleries have to offer and providing a sense of the Soviet era, which is absent from the State National History Museum.  Even better, touring the Metro delivers palpable, experiential moments, which many of us don’t get standing in front of painting or a case of coins.

Though tours are available , discovering the Moscow Metro on your own provides a much more comprehensive, truer experience, something much less sterile than following a guide.  What better place is there to see the “real” Moscow than on mass transit: A few hours will expose you to characters and caricatures you’ll be hard-pressed to find dining near the Bolshoi Theater.  You become part of the attraction, hear it in the screech of the train, feel it as hurried commuters brush by: The Metro sucks you beneath the city and churns you into the mix.

With the recommendations of our born-and-bred Muscovite students, my wife Emma and I have just taken a self-guided tour of what some locals consider the top ten stations of the Moscow Metro. What most satisfied me about our Metro tour was the sense of adventure .  I loved following our route on the maps of the wagon walls as we circled the city, plotting out the course to the subsequent stops; having the weird sensation of being underground for nearly four hours; and discovering the next cavern of treasures, playing Indiana Jones for the afternoon, piecing together fragments of Russia’s mysterious history.  It’s the ultimate interactive museum.

Top Ten Stations (In order of appearance)

Kievskaya station.

valerie wilson travel virtuoso

Kievskaya Station went public in March of 1937, the rails between it and Park Kultury Station being the first to cross the Moscow River.  Kievskaya is full of mosaics depicting aristocratic scenes of Russian life, with great cameo appearances by Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin.  Each work has a Cyrillic title/explanation etched in the marble beneath it; however, if your Russian is rusty, you can just appreciate seeing familiar revolutionary dates like 1905 ( the Russian Revolution ) and 1917 ( the October Revolution ).

Mayakovskaya Station

Mayakovskaya Station ranks in my top three most notable Metro stations. Mayakovskaya just feels right, done Art Deco but no sense of gaudiness or pretention.  The arches are adorned with rounded chrome piping and create feeling of being in a jukebox, but the roof’s expansive mosaics of the sky are the real showstopper.  Subjects cleverly range from looking up at a high jumper, workers atop a building, spires of Orthodox cathedrals, to nimble aircraft humming by, a fleet of prop planes spelling out CCCP in the bluest of skies.

Novoslobodskaya Station

valerie wilson travel virtuoso

Novoslobodskaya is the Metro’s unique stained glass station.  Each column has its own distinctive panels of colorful glass, most of them with a floral theme, some of them capturing the odd sailor, musician, artist, gardener, or stenographer in action.  The glass is framed in Art Deco metalwork, and there is the lovely aspect of discovering panels in the less frequented haunches of the hall (on the trackside, between the incoming staircases).  Novosblod is, I’ve been told, the favorite amongst out-of-town visitors.

Komsomolskaya Station

Komsomolskaya Station is one of palatial grandeur.  It seems both magnificent and obligatory, like the presidential palace of a colonial city.  The yellow ceiling has leafy, white concrete garland and a series of golden military mosaics accenting the tile mosaics of glorified Russian life.  Switching lines here, the hallway has an Alice-in-Wonderland feel, impossibly long with decorative tile walls, culminating in a very old station left in a remarkable state of disrepair, offering a really tangible glimpse behind the palace walls.

Dostoevskaya Station

valerie wilson travel virtuoso

Dostoevskaya is a tribute to the late, great hero of Russian literature .  The station at first glance seems bare and unimpressive, a stark marble platform without a whiff of reassembled chips of tile.  However, two columns have eerie stone inlay collages of scenes from Dostoevsky’s work, including The Idiot , The Brothers Karamazov , and Crime and Punishment.   Then, standing at the center of the platform, the marble creates a kaleidoscope of reflections.  At the entrance, there is a large, inlay portrait of the author.

Chkalovskaya Station

Chkalovskaya does space Art Deco style (yet again).  Chrome borders all.  Passageways with curvy overhangs create the illusion of walking through the belly of a chic, new-age spacecraft.  There are two (kos)mosaics, one at each end, with planetary subjects.  Transferring here brings you above ground, where some rather elaborate metalwork is on display.  By name similarity only, I’d expected Komsolskaya Station to deliver some kosmonaut décor; instead, it was Chkalovskaya that took us up to the space station.

Elektrozavodskaya Station

valerie wilson travel virtuoso

Elektrozavodskaya is full of marble reliefs of workers, men and women, laboring through the different stages of industry.  The superhuman figures are round with muscles, Hollywood fit, and seemingly undeterred by each Herculean task they respectively perform.  The station is chocked with brass, from hammer and sickle light fixtures to beautiful, angular framework up the innards of the columns.  The station’s art pieces are less clever or extravagant than others, but identifying the different stages of industry is entertaining.

Baumanskaya Statio

Baumanskaya Station is the only stop that wasn’t suggested by the students.  Pulling in, the network of statues was just too enticing: Out of half-circle depressions in the platform’s columns, the USSR’s proud and powerful labor force again flaunts its success.  Pilots, blacksmiths, politicians, and artists have all congregated, posing amongst more Art Deco framing.  At the far end, a massive Soviet flag dons the face of Lenin and banners for ’05, ’17, and ‘45.  Standing in front of the flag, you can play with the echoing roof.

Ploshchad Revolutsii Station

valerie wilson travel virtuoso

Novokuznetskaya Station

Novokuznetskaya Station finishes off this tour, more or less, where it started: beautiful mosaics.  This station recalls the skyward-facing pieces from Mayakovskaya (Station #2), only with a little larger pictures in a more cramped, very trafficked area.  Due to a line of street lamps in the center of the platform, it has the atmosphere of a bustling market.  The more inventive sky scenes include a man on a ladder, women picking fruit, and a tank-dozer being craned in.  The station’s also has a handsome black-and-white stone mural.

Here is a map and a brief description of our route:

Start at (1)Kievskaya on the “ring line” (look for the squares at the bottom of the platform signs to help you navigate—the ring line is #5, brown line) and go north to Belorusskaya, make a quick switch to the Dark Green/#2 line, and go south one stop to (2)Mayakovskaya.  Backtrack to the ring line—Brown/#5—and continue north, getting off at (3)Novosblodskaya and (4)Komsolskaya.  At Komsolskaya Station, transfer to the Red/#1 line, go south for two stops to Chistye Prudy, and get on the Light Green/#10 line going north.  Take a look at (5)Dostoevskaya Station on the northern segment of Light Green/#10 line then change directions and head south to (6)Chkalovskaya, which offers a transfer to the Dark Blue/#3 line, going west, away from the city center.  Have a look (7)Elektroskaya Station before backtracking into the center of Moscow, stopping off at (8)Baumskaya, getting off the Dark Blue/#3 line at (9)Ploschad Revolyutsii.  Change to the Dark Green/#2 line and go south one stop to see (10)Novokuznetskaya Station.

Storm Jocelyn latest: Major river breached - as drivers told to 'postpone journeys' and avoid parking near trees, with 80mph winds closing in

As Storm Jocelyn sweeps across the UK and Ireland, energy providers are scrambling to restore power to thousands.

So what's the latest? 

Some of the operators have not provided updates since this morning, others later in the day - we'll note when each update was released in brackets. 

As of this morning, approximately 4,900 were off supply in England and the south of Scotland , while 6,000 people were disconnected in Northern Ireland , according to the Energy Networks Association and Northern Ireland Electricity Networks (10am update today).

UK Power Networks, a provider in  London, the South East and East of England,  said it was still working to reconnect 1,700 customers in its last update (4pm yesterday).

In  Scotland and central southern England , 370 Southern Electricity Networks customers remain without power, but SSEN said they expect to reconnect them by the end of the day (midday update today).

A further 1,800 people are without power in North West England , according to Electricity North West (5pm update today).

In  Ireland, 38,000 ESB Networks customers are still without power, as of the operators evening update (5.15pm today). 

A near-total shutdown of Scotland's rail network is in place, shortly after an amber weather warning for wind came into effect for much of the country a short time ago (see 6.03pm post). 

ScotRail made the decision to shut down the network across the country as the fallout from Storm Isha continues -  coupled with the worst of the effects of Storm Jocelyn anticipated this evening and into tomorrow morning. 

The operator spent much of today preparing for the shutdown, urging people to travel earlier and make sure they stayed up to date with their last train time - with many services ceasing before the 7pm cut-off. 

We aren't expecting many services to restart before midday tomorrow - with inspectors needing daylight to safely and accurately assess any potential damage or obstruction to lines.

Northumbria Police have again appealed for information after two cars separately struck a fallen tree in Cramlington.

Shortly before 6.55am yesterday, they were called to a collision on the A1068 Fisher Lane, before the Foxton Mill roundabout.

"Emergency services attended the scene where it was reported that two cars – a black BMW 3 Series 335d and a black Volkswagen Jetta – had been travelling southbound on the road," a statement said. 

"For reasons yet to be established, both of the cars have then separately collided with a tree that had fallen on to the road."

The BMW's driver, a 26-year-old man – was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.

"He remains there in a critical condition," police said.

An amber weather warning is now in place across western and northern Scotland.

The warning - for wind - is set to last until 8am tomorrow, and affects Grampian, Highlands & Eilean Siar, Orkney & Shetland and Strathclyde.

The Met Office says the warning means:

  • There is a good chance that power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage;
  • Probably some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs;
  • Longer journey times and cancellations likely, as road, rail, air and ferry services may be affected;
  • Some roads and bridges likely to close;
  • Injuries and danger to life is likely from large waves and beach material being thrown onto coastal roads, sea fronts and properties.

We'll be bringing you the latest updates as we get them. 

Car services company RAC is urging motorists to avoid driving as Storm Jocelyn hits the UK.

The Met Office has issued three separate rain warnings across the UK for today, with spray likely across many of the kingdom's roads. 

"With so much heavy rainfall and debris on the roads, driving conditions will be very challenging, especially across northern parts of the country where the weather is at its worst," RAC spokeswoman Alice Simpson said:

"Visibility will be severely reduced due to the spray from lorries and other large vehicles, and the amount of water on the roads will increase stopping distances," she added.

Three other Met Office wind warnings could also pose challenges for drivers.  

"We urge drivers to consider postponing their journeys," Ms Simpson said. 

"We also suggest drivers avoid parking underneath or near to trees," she added. 

Around 38,000 homes are still without power in Ireland, according to the Electricity Supply Board (ESB). 

In its latest update, ESB said 24,000 of those had originally lost power during Storm Isha.

"A further 14,000 customers have lost supply today following high winds associated with Storm Jocelyn," a statement from the operator said.

Approximately 221,000  homes, farms and businesses have had their power restored since Storm Isha hit Ireland, ESB said. 

It also said that winds associated with Storm Jocelyn were slowing repair efforts in the country's northwest, adding that "some customers will be without power for a number of days". 

A total of six weather warnings for wind and rain are in place today, with the Met Office expecting Storm Jocelyn to hamper recovery efforts from Storm Isha in places.

Here we take a look at each amber and yellow alert and break down what each of them mean, and when and where they are in force...

AMBER - WIND

Location: Grampian, Highlands and Eilean Siar, Orkney and Shetland, and Strathclyde

Ends: 8am tomorrow

Warning:  Road closures and damage to buildings and infrastructure caused by falling debris, power cuts and potential for danger to life on the coast. 

Storm Isha saw a number of flights re-routed, told to circle until safe to land or even sent back to their origin airports - with many commentators on social media highlighting unusual-looking flight paths on sites such as Flightradar24. 

That seems to be continuing  as Storm Jocelyn hits, with one X user spotting a Ryanair flight forced to circle a number of times off Wicklow before approaching Dublin. 

Ryanair flight RYR10RQ arrived at the Irish capital nearly an hour and a half after its scheduled arrival time - having left London Gatwick  an hour late - according to Flightradar24 . 

It is unclear whether the plane was forced to circle or was delayed because of the weather - although winds caused by storms Isha and Jocelyn have already and are expected to continue to cause disruption to flights across the UK and Ireland. 

ScotRail is urging travellers to check when their last train departs ahead of a near-complete shutdown of the network in Scotland at 7pm. 

"Most services will be finished by 7pm today - this means your last train of the day will likely be before then," a ScotRail statement read. 

"Please check when your train home is now," it added. 

You can check the latest updates on your route here . 

The last few trains from Glasgow and Edinburgh will depart before the deadline, with services to and from Scotland not expected to resume until at least noon tomorrow.

ScotRail made the decision to shut down the network across the country as the fallout from Storm Isha continues - which will later be coupled with the worst of the effects of Storm Jocelyn this evening and into tomorrow morning. 

It wasn't the only operator to issue such warnings - with Avanti West Coast urging passengers not to travel north of Preston after 3.30pm today. 

The last scheduled service from London to Glasgow was scheduled to leave the capital just moments ago at 3.30pm - calling at Preston at 5.41pm - and is "expected to be extremely busy", the operator warned.

A woman has suffered life-threatening injuries after a tree fell on a road near Bristol, police say.

A man, who was also in the car on Broad Road, near the village of Blagdon, has sustained potentially life-changing injuries.

Their car was either struck by the tree as it fell or collided with the tree after it had fallen, said Avon and Somerset Constabulary.

The man, aged in his 60s, and the woman, in her 50s, are receiving treatment at Southmead Hospital for serious head injuries.

Police have appealed for anyone who witnessed the incident to contact them.
