Moscow's subway system, each station of which was designed to be a "palace for the people," is now 70 years old. The Boston Globe narrates a (brief) tour: "Each station has a unique design using elaborate decorations and materials from all over the country, including granite, quartzite, limestone, 20 kinds of marble, and semiprecious stones, plus bronze sculptures, majolica panels, stainless steel columns, glittering chandeliers, bas-relief friezes, stained-glass panels, murals, and mosaics. One could easily spend a day touring the city without ever seeing the sun." Boston.com
