The Moscow Metro is a sight in itself. Muscovites have long been accustomed to the fact that many, mostly old stations are crowded with tourists and take pictures, take pictures, take pictures.
There is something to shoot. And absurd things, such as the mosaic at the Kyiv station, depicting a Red Army soldier sitting in front of a laptop and holding a smartphone in one hand, and a mobile phone in the other, to his ear. (Year of construction of the station - 1954).
There are nice places. For example, a statue of a soldier with a dog on the "Revolution Square". The nose of the dog shines and sparkles, because every Muscovite knows that this nose should be rubbed for good luck. Moreover, in order for the sign to work 200 percent, you need to have time to jump out of the train, rub your nose and jump into the same train.
There are very amateur places. For example, the Dostoevskaya station, where the architect depicted about a dozen murder scenes on the walls. Maybe he's goth?
Well, there is a station "Pyatnitskoe shosse". "My" station.
It is located on the very, very outskirts of Moscow. Already far beyond the Moscow Ring Road and almost immediately behind the station, forests, villages and evenings near Moscow begin.
The station was built according to the residual principle. Financing was very modest and all the more surprising that it turned out, perhaps, the most unusual in Moscow.
First of all, she's crooked. Almost the most crooked thing in the world. But this was necessary for purely pragmatic reasons. So there was no need to rebuild the access roads to the existing depot.
But it is also asymmetrical in color. The side from where the trains go to the center is black. Sad. Gloomy. Well, how? This is the road to work. But the side where the trains come and "No Landing" is white. Light. Resting. Everything is correct. You came home. Now joy and peace.
We also have a "Flower train" running along the line. It is beautiful and positive in itself, but inside there is also an exhibition of paintings. In every wagon.
And the exposure is changing.
What is good, this cheerful train runs at different times every day, so that all passengers can rejoice and join the art.
Here is such, at first glance, the usual station "Pyatnitskoe shosse".
Getting to it will be primarily interesting for those who are fond of the history and features of public transport in different cities and countries.
Another "Pyatnitskoye Highway" is worth a visit for fans of railways and everything connected with them.
But even a simple tourist will be satisfied with such a highlight on the distant and boring outskirts of Moscow.
