Some of the stations are truly spectacular. Just don't ask too many questions about the working conditions when the Metro was built.
LabelKing, would you mind sharing the title of the book?

I have a book about Stalinist architecture where they talk about building those metro stations. Apparently some of the mosaics were done by the master craftsman--artisans if you will--left over from the Tsarist era.
Russia never wanted for artists or artisans. The problem was that a lot of them were not appreciated under the Communist regime. The quality of art and architectural design was always high.
Very high quality stuff, which is somewhat surprising considering the origins are Soviet.
