Ploschad' Revolyutsii

This metro station is beautiful. Inside the station, there are many bronze sculptures depicting the Moscow people.

Blue Line The station of Revolution is devoted to the people who participated in the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. Notice that parts of several bronze statues are rubbed. Why? For good luck. Don’t forget to rub a border guard’s dog to bring you good luck too!

One of my favourite Moscow Metro stations - the socialist statues are beautiful. Don’t forget to rub the dog’s nose for luck! Best viewed away from rush hour as it’s very busy at peak times.

The day before we visited Moscow, we had toured the metro stations in St Petersburg and were blown away by how beautiful they were... well Moscow was even more amazing. It’s worth spending an hour or two traveling to the different Metro stations and seeing the beautiful tile work, spotless trains and stations and beautiful lighting and artwork. It’s cheap and safe to do on your own, but a guided tour might help you get more out of it.

Revolutionary spirit!
