When I first arrived in Moscow I was all alone. I needed to take two metros to arrive at my hotel and I was pretty nervous. I could hardly speak Russian and reading it was even more of a struggle. Through navigating the stations and asking people questions I noticed how beautiful the different stations are. Metro stations had pieces of art, and sometimes marble lined stations displaying different pieces of history. The Moscow Metro opened in 1935, and was originally used to enact propaganda among the Soviet Union, showing a bright future through the murals and busts of Soviet heroes. Each station looked different and I loved taking the metro because it was also very reliable.
