Let's learn some fascinating facts about Moscow Underground System.
Metro in Moscow was opened in 1935, and in its whole history it didn’t operate for only one day—(October 16, 1941) when authorities wanted to blow it up because of the threat of the capture of Moscow by fascist troops, but it never happened. During world war 2 the metro became a housing for citizens that was used as a bomb shelter, concert hall, library, school, communist party meeting point and even a maternity hospital - yes, more than 200 kids were born here.
There are lots of secret gateways and tunnels and there is a rumor that that there’s a hidden tunnel system named ‘metro 2’ - which was built on the orders of Stalin, it goes from the Kremlin to the airport and there’s a nuclear button there.
I don’t know if it’s true or just a myth, but what I do know is that if you rub a nose of a dog sculpture on the Revolution Square station- then your wishes will come true, that’s what I know for sure.
