Moscow Metro Greetings, comrade, and welcome to Bee Flowers' faithful rendering of the Moscow subway system's fine art. From floor to ceiling, each of the people's stations features works of stone that are free of the graffiti that enhances America's underground. These mosaics and sculptures glorify Lenin and the Communist state. The somewhat stilted socialist realism style of the artwork still promotes Marxist ethics, even though the U.S.S.R. no longer exists. Some stations have a more militaristic bent, while others offer tranquil scenes of the proletariat's happy life. Highly decorated metro stops celebrate Soviet athletic prowess, and even light fixtures provide elegant propaganda. Workers of the world can also view life above ground with an ultra-zoomable Moscow skyline. (in Travel)
