The moscow metro as an object of Moscow cultural heritage
The capital of Russia, Moscow, is a very big city. There are a lot of monuments, cathedrals, museums and churches in Moscow. People from many different countries strive to get there and to see the places of interest of this beautiful city. The objects of architecture and painting, created by great masters many years ago fascinate visitors of the capital and are the pride of Moscow people. The most famous attraction of Moscow is The Red Square. It amazes with its grandiosity and splendour. The Cathedral of Saint Bassil the Blessed is one of the most beautiful works of architecture. The Bolshoy Theatre, The Tretiakovskaya Gallery and many others places are also unforgettable. But many people forget about a very important and in the majority of cases beautiful place of interest the Moscow Metro. It amazes with its size. It is one of the biggest metros in the world. The new stations are modernized, unpretentious, but the old ones out of the first originally built stations correspond real works of art with mosaics, reliefs on the walls and with statues. Unfortunately nowadays a lot of people don’t understand or forget about the great historic and cultural value of the Moscow Metro. They throw litter, spoil decorations of the stations. Our school organizes excursions to the Moscow Metro to its oldest and most beautiful stations. The aim of these excursions is to show that the Moscow Metro is also a place of interest like a museum that everyone should take care of it. Then it will be cleaner and more beautiful. The Moscow Metro which spans almost the entire Russian capital, is the world's second most heavily used rapid-transit system. Opened in 1935, it is well known for the ornate design of many of its stations, which contain outstanding examples of socialist realist art.
